Price after all said and done - 42k
No the "rebate" is essentially the tax credit that the dealer received and are passing on to you in the form of a rebate (but you pay taxes on the initial cost). In your example it would be:

MSRP 55k
Negotiated price - 50k
Pretax loyalty incentive/rebate - $2k
Taxable price - $48K

State rebate - $3k
Price - $45k (but you paid tax on $48k)
