Nissan has confirmed to me that the Duke promotion is extended through at least DEC. That said, how much discount are people seeing now with the 2018s right around the corner. As was pointed out above, if Joe Schmo off the street can get $8k off and the Duke thing only gets you $10k and the...

I am trying to figure out if a 2016 or 2017 LEAF would be a good car for my daughter in LA. She is a student and doesn't have lots of driving needs. I had a 2012 LEAF on a 42 mo. lease which I turned in DEC 2015, so I know the car. A - as a student, would she be able to qualify as a CA resident...

If anyone would like me to send them a copy of my letter which included the "right to extend the lease exists up through the end of the lease" language, PM me. If you don't have your actual letter, I would think if you read the exact language off the letter an NMAC representative would be hard...

As an additional data point, I have a 2012 SL (no leather is correct) w/ 39k miles and no bars dropped. Nissan wants $11.5k from me to buy it. I extended it for a year (month-to-month in reality) at the high monthly payment of $360.02 to buy 1 more month of shopping research. I am half...

I like the analysis. Thanks for taking the time. Taking the extension gives me the most flexibility. It takes away the purchase option with the $5k discount ($11.5k). If I use only the 1 month, I basically trade the 1 mo. extension for the taxes by not owning or leasing any car until JAN...

Sound logic. It is certainly a "known" with a limited downside. I am test driving a 2015 BMW i3 today & tomorrow. Very nice car but I am not sure it is worth the extra I'd be paying. I've seen some posts on their forum about getting a 2 yr. lease for under $300/mo. Even if true, $7,200 for...

OK. Got transferred to a more helpful rep at NMAC today. She stated the best purchase option program still available on the MY12 was $5k off purchase price. I referenced the $6k and $7k off offers I had seen provided to other people and she vaguely remembered a $7k off promotion for certain MY...

Got my inspection done today and $0 chargeable wear & tear. As such, only cost to turn in is $395. Makes it more likely it goes back. Need to call NMAC tomorrow and try to nail down if the extension is truly month-to-month. If so, inspection is good for 90 days and I might extend for 1 mo...

Spoke to NMAC last night. They said no extensions available. However, I have a letter from them that specifically says can be extended until expiration. They also said 2 mo. free was expired. That I could potentially believe. Are all of the extensions essentially month-to-month? If so, I...

When did they offer the $7k credit? I am in a 2012 lease expiring 11.24.15 and agent told me that expired and $5k was current best offer. I asked whether a supervisor was needed to authorize the higher credit. She said expired. I would probably buy for $9.8k. Much tougher choice at $11.8k...

I am in the very same situation. Did NMAC offer you the $5k discount on purchasing the 2012 SL? Mine works out to just under $12k. I also think I avoid the ~$379 "turn in fee" & any excess wear & tear I would get dinged for if I buy. Even considering that, a 2012 SL in very good shape :)...

OK. Getting close to decision time. Still don't think extending for another year makes much sense for me at $360/mo. Considering turning it in and buying / leasing a 2016 Leaf. What are some of the best deals out there currently? If I can update the technology by 4 yrs., stay around the...

Details below on a 39 mo. lease that ends NOV 15. Offers from Nissan below as well. What should I do? 0 bars lost. 34k miles. Charged to full M-F and 80% on weekends. No problems. No maintenance beyond battery checks & tire rotation. 50 miles / day commute. Now have L2 charger at work w/...

Got 2 2032s at Dollar Tree for $1. (Actually, got 4 for $2.) Replaced the usual and the backup. Notification went away. All seems to be well. Thanks to this forum for helping me find the right battery at the right price.

Sadly, I did not even know the warning was a warning. I just thought it was an "upgrade" that now told me how much charge I had left in my fob. Since the black covered most of the area up to the F, I figured I was still pretty close to Full. Experienced the inability to get in the car a few...
