Not sure what your mileage needs are, but I recently picked up an off lease 2016 eGolf with 33k miles for $12,500 from the VW dealer as my commuter. Gets about 80 miles to a charge in town/city driving, more than enough for my daily commute. Wife drives the long range ICE family vehicle. Some day I hope to be able to affordably replace that as well!

You can get a 2019 eGolf for about the same price. Dealers are willing to negotiate big time.

I got mine almost two months ago for 10k off msrp + state and federal.

Yeah, the challenge for me is that they don’t sell them locally and my state doesn’t do an incentive. Would have been hard to beat $12,500 without a bunch of hassle although I’ve read that there are ridiculous deals happening if you qualify for all of the incentives available.

Im in the Portland area and I've heard from others that have also scored the same.

There was a thread on Slickdeals a while back about it https://slickdeals.net/f/13163326-21-000-off-msrp-2019-volks...

My mileage needs are low.

Unfortunately they don't/didn't ever sell the e-Golf here. Looking at used car sites the nearest ones are in California (about a two day drive). Still might be worth the drive at those prices (although charging it to get it home might require some pre-planning).

Shipping it would be somewhere between $500 and $1500 depending on your distance. Alternatively, you can rent a one-way U-Haul (or similar) with car towing and tow it :). The fuel alone though at say 15 mpg while towing is probably about $250 though.
