I leased and took advantage of the $7500 tax credit, then switched to purchase after 10 months.

I will be the 100% daily charge battery test dummy (ha ha ha). I have charged to 100% for the last month and plan to continue to do so. I feel the need to have 100 miles of range avaliable, at 80% charge I would be down 80 miles. For someone like myself who drives 52 miles round trip to...

Congrats jhm614 on your new arrival, and congrats to all the folks who are picking them up in a few days. it looks a lot like mine except mine has the birthmarks on the side (Zeroemissions). Word of advise don't run out of electricity on the first day like me. When the leaf says you have 5...

Picked up leaf yesterday at full charge, LOL I can't believe I am even writing this next statement but I think its funny and can be a great learning experience. I RAN OUT OF ELECTRICITY last night because I decided to stop at jack in the box (out of the way), and I knew I had food at home. I...

My Leaf representative is on her way to pick me up, so I can take delivery of my Silver Leaf. The year of waiting is over.

My reason for leasing is the tax credit. I make less than $50,000 a year and if I purchased I would probably be able to maybe $1000 out of the $7500 credit. Between regular deductions and credits for college tuition if I had purchased last year I would have gotten back $0 Dollars in tax...

What's the status of your Leaf, Andy?

I ordered mine at MSRP (Houston dealers want all the money). So $35830 was my sales price and if it was not for the $7500 off the price I would have probably said buying the leaf was not cost effective. As one of the 30-34 years old folks I am glad to see that people of all age brackets are...

I started the financing approval process about a week and a half ago in anticipation of the upcoming delivery day. I am heading to my dealer to look over the final numbers tomorrow before my car arrives. Hopefully delivery will take place by Saturday on day 4 of the 7 day window if not I am...

I am just going to take it easy for a while and see what happens, I just started working on my honors project which is essentially marketing the Leaf towards parents who have children that are of driving age and young drivers (18-35) as I bounce around the campus I am sure I will flip back to...

I do realize dealers are doing all they can do (sit and wait for instructions just like we are). Everything else aside, my brain and my feelings are asking, do I want to continue to be part of this year long process? No matter what I decide I will not cancel my order, the car will arrive and...

Well, the process seems to be "not fun" for everyone involved so I guess it may have been better to just let the cars be ordered from the dealerships, and do business as usual.

I say congratulations Jimmy because if I was in your position I may have done the same thing. It could just be that someone canceled their reservation, the car was an orphan, it fit your specs, and car was then routed to you (leave me in my make believe land, I am just kidding). I think it was...

Range is not a problem for me. Over the last year between myself and my mom we put 15000 miles on her car. So I should be able to stay under 12000 miles a year besides the 50 miles round trip to college four days a week everything else is within a 5 mile radius. So range is perfect. I am...

Congrats jhm614 I have been tracking (stalking) you since November or Early December when I discovered your reservation date was I believe was the first day that Texans were able to place their orders. We have very similar almost identical reservation, order times, and order completed times. I...
