Check in with another dealer for sure. I leased my first Leaf in June, 2011 -- $2000 down, for a payment of $490 per month, 39 mo lease + got the California $5,000 rebate). Last October, the dealer (Hilltop Nissan) called me to propose a new deal as follows: Turn in the existing car (it had...

I leased our Leaf in June, 2011 for $485 a month with a $2000 upfront payment. Love the car, and was feeling the same way recently (e.g. paying too much). Went to our dealer and negotiated a trade-in as follows: The deader bought/paid off the existing lease; I leased a new 2012 Leaf for zero...

Indeed . . . thought about that a bit wistfully having read the various threads on adapting the trickle charger to 220-240 volts. We have a lease though, so probably won't do this. Actually, travel quite a bit for business to Europe so thinking of asking a Nissan dealer near where I work if...

Yes . . . too close. I still thinking about the best way to thank my wife as there are always so many reasons to do so :P . Didn't consider getting off the 580 earlier as I was totally focused on what would be fastest (ICE mindset, I suppose). Good question though . . . not sure what would be...

Thanks for the heads-up, Wayne . . . interesting that many charging stations are not shown when the car searches. Must only locate free locations or some such. Sure would have been nice to have known this on Saturday ;)

I'm starting a new post for those of us who think of the Leaf as "just another car" . . . . point A to point B. What's it really like? _____ So decided to take the Leaf up to visit friends in Santa Rosa. We knew we could get about 4.5 hours of trickle charge while there. Total trip distance...

Hey All: So decided to take the Leaf up to visit friends in Santa Rosa. We knew we could get about 4.5 hours of trickle charge while there. Total trip distance -- house to house -- 110.9 miles. We live in Berkeley . . . so called Santa Rosa Nissan to see if I could drop in for an L2 charge...

Hey all: Just got off the phone with PG&E trying to decide if I should change from advantageous (and no longer available) E-7 rates to the E-9A. Very helpful guy from PG&E, and it was immediately clear that it would be a bad move to switch rates -- especially since once you leave E-7, you...

Indeed . . . nice to connect with the community on the road rather than online 8-) . My wife and I joked that we saw "the other red leaf" on the road today.

Got our leaf on 18 June at Hanlees Nissan in Richmond, CA. So far loving it. Went into San Francisco for Stern Grove Festival and on the way back another red leaf pulled up behind me on Oak St. and flashed his lights. Taxidan . . . was that you? Anyway after many months of lurking here and...
