I thought destination was the same amount per model everywhere in the country with variance between models where larger vehicles cost more (so Armada would cost more than Leaf). Some sort of negotiation between manufacturers/dealers and UAW so that destination charge for vehicles sold close to...

The 39% and 61% are residual values as opposed to money factors. Money factors that high would be considered usury.

So why did you choose cmax energi over leaf? I am leaning that way as well but am interested in other people's reasons.

High residuals on that offer - 49% on a 3 yr lease.

Is that due primarily to reduced residuals or smaller amounts of support in addition to the feds 7500?

The best offer I have received (before any negotiation) in raleigh, nc is: Leaf S with Charger Package + Floor mats/cargo Mat MSRP: $31,120 Purchase Price (pre-rebate I assume): $28,677 Fees+Cap Reduction covered by rebate ($8425, but 0 out of pocket) $275/month for 36 months, 12K miles...

Perhaps, but I am tall and big so ingress and egress (ingress mainly) are a challenge in a sedan, kept bumping my head getting into the fusion energi. I need seating for 5 a couple of times a month. So right now am between leaf and cmax because they are taller. Currently driving a full size...

Had a couple of email lease quotes from dealers in the Raleigh, NC area. $330/month for 24 months @12K miles/year, $318/month for 36 months @12k miles/year (including taxes/tags/first month payment only due). This was on a CMAX energi with no options. MSRP $33,475 including destination. $2k...

what else have you considered besides the leaf? I am looking at the cmax energi for egress issues, because I can go all electric for daily commute, and need the ICE for extended driving on weekends. It allows us to get rid of a vehicle, whereas the leaf would just let me drive a different car...

I think their prior 2013 was involved in a wreck and turned in. 51% is a horrid residual for 2 years. The only positive sign is there will be some cheap Leafs in a couple of years.
