This is a tough subject for me, because I went into the buying process as an "early adopter" and and enthusiast, someone who wanted an electric car, but left with a bitter taste in my mouth. I paid the highest amount possible, since I ordered it the day they became available in CT. The salesman...

no heat, running in eco, just heated seat and steering wheel. This morning it was 5 degrees and it took 58% of my battery to get to work! I even slowed it down to 55 mph highway and 35-40 back roads to try driving more efficient and it didn't help. This is getting old! all winter has been like...

I'm getting very bad mileage from the car, while I understand cold batteries are less efficient, it is a lot less than Nissan's estimates. While freezing my buns off to make it to work and home WITHOUT HEAT, the car says I get about 3.4-3.8 miles/kwh, but for a 52 mile round trip and about 4...

Same here. its interesting that the people that were most interested in EVs gets the worst deal. I should have waited, so I'd pay a third what I'm paying now and not get such a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing! And its fine Nissan to put an incentive on the leftovers, but then to...

I didn't put anything on my seats or door cards, but I can get stains out like nothing. is something applied at the dealer or at the factory? 12 hour old blood stains came out like nothing.

Its really aggravating how it all turned out. I was an "early adopter" and bought into the hype price. Now that you can buy a leftover 2012 Leaf for the same amount of money that I'll pay in my 39 month lease, and then still have a $15500 residual, theres no way I'm going to buy my Leaf. Its...

This doesn't seem plausible after looking at the CURRENT prices of NEW 2012 leafs. $19,499 for cars with six miles on the odo. That is all over too. Not just one dealer selling one car. It made me sick to see the prices my car is going for new 11 months after I got mine! If only I didn't buy...

Yeah thats $10 better than me, and they said that was the difference between tier 1 and tier 0. Which irks me because I had 733 for that credit report and the manager said 730 was tier 0 and the finance person said tier 1 was.

I feel old then! I finally took delivery of my Leaf Friday and I'm 25! I was 24 when I ordered it haha.

Did anyone see what the teirs for credit are set at? I had a 733 when I went and the manager says I'm Tier 0 and 730+ was the cutoff. When I did the paperwork, the finance guy says no 740+ is the cutoff and I'm tier 1. So much switching!

Also it won't be a $420 a month payment. I was originally quoted $420 for a lease and got $474

SOOO I just got back from the dealer a few days ago with my LEAF! I was also shocked at the price difference. The manager a couple months ago when I thought my car was being delivered and did some math and decided my monthly payment was $427 for a 39 month lease with 15000 miles per year. I...

Thats terrible! Are you the owner? I would be interested in pictures. I am curious how it held up. My Leaf is supposed to be delivered this Thursday so I am very excited! I don't plan on driving it much through the winter though, I have a mkiii jetta that I am driving until the salt goes away.
