You are assuming that everyone is eligible for the full tax credit, which is not the case just like you seem not to qualify for the OL code or corp sale incentives since you are not aware of them. There is also no guarantee that every new buyer will get the 10% or better dealer discount. Furthermore, doing a quick search you can see let alone the 45e, you cannot find a used low-mileage MY20 40i in the country for $49K. Even the absolute base 40i xDrive retails for around $50k (roughly 20% depreciation in one year). It makes very little sense that the more expensive 45e should be cheaper despite having the same engine, extra features, and better fuel economy just because the original owner might be eligible for tax incentives.
