His trade-in car was a long way from "year-old perfectly-working".

Looking at $13k (which excludes his $2k trade-in), I'm left wondering if my own conditions are favorable for switching to EV.

The iPhone example was just to make it more obvious, but the logic still applies. It's 13k at best, not 11k

I think you are misreading?

> $17k minus an extra $2k added to my Camry's trade-in value

This says the dealer paid a premium for the Camry to secure the deal on the Leaf. The Camry's full trade-in value was not given.

Right, my initial statement applies: it's not "just $11k", it's a lot more.

How I read it, the deal could have been something like $5k (+$2k) for the trade-in car and $10k in cash. Later there is a $4k used EV tax rebate.

In this situation the cost works out to something like

5k + 10k - 4k = 11k
