$2500 Texas rebate is up and running

[oko]

I searched the forums but could not find any info. I applied today for the rebate. I hand delivered the documents since it was just a few miles from my house. Does anyone have any experience how long it will take to get it? It seems up and running since May 31st.

I wanted to take advantage of the $2500 since we will be needing a new Leaf in the near future. The page is showing 6% of funding is already gone and 200 electric/hybrids out of 2,000 total. I guess since it was retroactive we would see a surge at the start of the program. I am a bit worried that the funds may run out or the 2,000 limit hit before I am in a position to buy a new Leaf. I need to wait until probably March 2019 due to an impending new home purchase mortgage situation.

I wish there were better deals for used Leafs because a 30kwh 2016-2017 would be fine for us. But the used prices are approaching what it would cost for a new 2018.

If you haven't already bought one, keep looking - there is a 2016 S at Nissan of McKinney for like $10,500 and I see them pop up all of the time (got a 2015 S this weekend myself).

Texas is showing 74% funds remaining, so I guess I don't need to worry about the funds running out before the May 31, 2019 deadline. I'll keep looking to see if I can find a 30kwh for a reasonable price, but as of now it looks like all the 2016 SV/SL (i.e. 30 kwh battery) used for sale are asking around $16/18K vs $12/$13K for 2016 'S' models. If I can find a 2018 'S' w/QC for around $30K minus $10K rebates, the final price is too close to the $16/$18K - i think I will go for the new 2018 Leaf.

You should be able to find a new 2018 S for less than 30k. I got my 2018 SL for about 35k. (Totally worth it)

BTW, does anyone know how long it takes to get the rebate? And how do you get it, a check in the mail?

I filed my paperwork around 9/15 they called me for a missing signature, I provided that a few days later and they said the first phase was approved but there are more "phases". I haven't heard from them again ...
