Energy-efficient Vehicle credit for a 2013 Nissan leaf in 2016 ?

I bought a 2013 Nissan leaf last year. The dealer did not mention it but your website thinks I should get back $7500 in refund for this 3 year old model. Is this a mistake in your validations or am I interpreting the tax code wrong ?

Yes, you are interpreting the code correctly. Unfortunately, that means you are not entitled to the credit on your 2013 Nissan Leaf. Among the requirements to qualify for the credit is that you must be the original owner of a new vehicle.
