I recently got a discounted LR AWD with 300 miles that will qualify. State goes by price paid, not sticker. So a discounted demo may qualify, which more than doubled the discount for me. As you said they count vehicle price and destination (so a white LR AWD with 18's is $190 over rebate limit), taxes do not count. The online rebate forms explain it all, and that they are looking for Total Vehicle Price or Total Price Paid, which can include discounts.
Total savings for me will be about $4400. I was very happy with vehicle, could not tell it was anything but brand new.
