    I know it's off topic, but I'll use your knowledge. 
    If I were to buy the clarity, I would get 7500 tax credit on my own I believe, correct me if I'm wrong.
    Can I still get 3000$ ZEV rebate and $1700 NY state rebate?

    Calrity Plug-in Turing MSRP $37,495 Selling Price $31,400 Plus tax, tags and processing fee. 0.9% APR 60 months. Is this a good deal or should I wait to see December prices, any more incentives available for december?

    Should I check for lease option. Will I get the same Selling price discounts + rebate if I switch to lease option.

    $3000 dealer incentive on this car for purchase

    Lease incentive is $7800, so the price should actually come down, if you choose the lease option.
    .00047 MF and 39% residual for 36/15

    The $3000 isn't a rebate, but a dealer incentive. So, it would be reflected in the selling price.
    I don't have any info on the NY rebate.

    Not a tax expert, but if the car is eligible for the $7500 Federal tax credit, then you should get that (assuming your tax burden is at least $7500)

    Do you know how they got to the selling price? They must have applied some discounts already. 
    Ask them to detail the discount structure. 
    For leasing there is a $3000 ZEV rebate in some states. Also there is a state specific EV rebate. 
    They never offer such a large dealer discount  they barely go under invoice. So they must have added discounts passed on to them 

    You should get an additional $7500 federal tax credit after you buy the car.

    I am trying to decide to lease or buy a Clarity base model at 95037:
    a. What are the terms + incentives for 36/12K lease?
    b. What are the terms + incentives for 60 months finance purchase?

    I've read the entire thread including the recent posts. But I want to make sure they are applicable to my location. Thanks.

    Is the 7800 lease cash available to Honda dealers in New Mexico or Texas? (might be able to lease in Arizona or Colorado). I live in New Mexico near El Paso TX.

    If not, presumably the lease deals available would be greatly more expensive, if in fact they do offer ANY lease deals in these states. TIA!

    No, only ZEV states qualify for the lease cash, mainly in the Northeast and West Coast.

    I think a lease anywhere else would be quite expensive.

    Thanks! for the info Michael.

    Believe it or not, I've asked my newly elected NM Public Regulatory Commission rep to look into NM becoming a ZEV state, which was blocked by outgoing Red party officials. Maybe things will change; but for now, my lease option is down to a Ford Energi leash cash deal which makes that inexpensive, as my present 2016 Energi lease expires. Clarity obviously the preferred car over 2019 Energi...with 48 electric miles, instead of 25...but I have solar panels on roof, and want/need to have a plugin to pair with it.

    Hello. I went through the forums and I guess I'm looking for all the discount numbers.
    Zipcode: 90057
    Clarity Base Hybrid

    is the Residual 42% at12k miles?
    Also I'm guessing the discount is $7800 Honda Clarity PHEV. What is the additional $3000 ZEV rebate?

    Is it one or the other or can I use both discounts for a combined $10800?

    I apologize beforehand if I am asking a question that has already been answered but I looked and can't understand the different rebates. I live in NC and fully understand the $7500 federal rebate that I am eligible to.
    I am trying to get a Touring and am being offered $34k price (incl destination fee) but am reading about better prices in the ZEV states but also that there is a $3k dealer rebate if the car is purchased.

    My questions are:
    1: Are the cars offered in ZEV states for purchase (I have seen as low as $29500 mentioned on a forum), only eligible for the price if kept in that state? In other words, if I buy it in NJ and drive it home, will the dealer no longer be eligible for a rebate and thus not give me a favorable price?

    2: Living in NC, are the dealerships here still eligible for a $3k rebate when purchased? If I am offered $34k, do I still have a few thousand dollars I can negotiate down?

    3: How do I use the $7500 federal rebate that the dealership pockets to my advantage if I lease? if the MSRP is $37k+, do I negotiate the lease price down to $29k for a lease price or is there further room to bring it down more?

    Thank you all!

    1) I'll guess that the prices you see below $30K are for leases, that come with a $7600 incentive, in lieu of the rebate, which the lessee is not eligible for.

    2) No rebate in NC

    3) The dealership doesn't get the Federal tax credit, that goes to the bank. But, I'll guess that Honda won't lease the Clarity to anyone with a non-ZEV state, address.

    non-ZEV state: Purchase only, and avail yourself of the Federal tax credit.

    Is California considered a ZEV state where you can get $3,000 incentive to lease a Clarity PHEV ??

    The incentive for CA is $7600. (yes, CA is the original ZEV state)

    But, there is no extra $3000 like we've seen in the Northeast.

    While most dealers are ethical, and pass the $7600 incentive to you, can you believe some dealers will keep the $7600 lease incentive for themselves?

    Automation and Robertson Honda said they keep the $7600 for themselves! How greedy is that ????

    Does anyone know if it's possible to have someone who lives in NY or MD lease the Clarity (to get the localized lease deal) and then transfer the lease to me (who lives in a non-ZEV state) afterwards? Would I (or they) get some sort of letter in the mail a month later asking for the $10k back?

    I don't think Honda allows lease transfers.

    MD and NY both collect sales tax upfront, so you'd be paying tax again, on top of the rate, assuming the original lessee rolled the taxes in. But, no transfers, anyway

    This is for Base model and in the Bay area,

    If I subtract the $366 cap reduction from the selling price, I get $339/mo assuming 9% sales tax

    Ask the dealer for the "Adjusted CAP cost" they used for their quote, and what was added / subtracted from the selling price to arrive at that number.
