I bought my car used and didn't know about the 7500 rebate, but was that cash back instituted because the car wasn't selling well / unpopular? If so, wouldn't it still be unpopular /not sell well in the future? I just wonder how much demand there will be for our cars in the future when it took a $7500 rebate to move these in the past.
