The red base unit was exactly what I was looking for, and Rick offered a terrific deal on it. I'd have been there this morning with cash in hand but for one fly in the ointment: the car has been registered to the dealer, and Rick couldn't assure me that it would qualify as a new car and thus qualify for the government rebates: $1500 from the state of California and $7500 from the Fed.
Without the rebates, this used car would cost me $650 more than a new one!
I know this issue has been examined here before, but I never found a definitive answer. I've found anecdotes about "it worked for me," but with $9000 at stake, I'm not willing to chance it.
