With the term 'may' in that sentence I would have to agree with you. The sales person told me that the $3750 lease rebate was to offset the tax credit that I would not get by leasing. So if you purchase you get to double the rebate, once through Ford and a second (up to the $3750) when you file you taxes.

I know that if I lease a Fusion Energi I cannot claim the tax credit since I do not own the vehicle. I would expect that I would still benefit from the tax credit by applying it towards the down payment on the lease (ok, they should do that). When I look at the offers from Ford they all state that they are purchase OR lease. To me this implies that for a lease I should get the current incentives plus the tax credit. The sales rep that I am dealing with is trying to tell me that the rebate on the lease is the tax credit but since the offers are for a lease OR a purchase I am not buying it. But I am not sure if that tax credit may be buried somewhere else. Since I cannot make heads or tails reading the fine print I was wondering if anybody who recently leased got a better explanation. Thanks!
