Very Cool. This will result in very attractive Lease prices.Sublime said:2013 LEAF popped in VPP. $1000 off invoice.
thankyouOB said:who is this VPP program open to?
VPP is Nissan's program for employees, their families, employees of Nissan partners etc. Checkout the website - they have a spreadsheet of all companies that are in this program.DaveinOlyWA said:thankyouOB said:who is this VPP program open to?
good question and hopefully to everyone. Nissan had a program last Spring that dealers could opt into so it was very much voluntary and not uniform. Nissan got great feedback on this and is investigating making it a corporate program so EVERYONE can participate. iow, its taken out of the dealer's hand. would include other things like X number of free car rentals per year, etc.
hopefully that is this...

EVnow mentioned there was a list of partners. guessing if you are an employee of a partner, you might qualify as well
This is not just a Leaf thing, this is an ongoing Nissan program. But, you are essentially right, the dealer could give this deal to anyone. As sublime points out, there is probably some quantity limit.sirenbrian said:I wonder if this was done on purpose, to be a loophole that every warm body that walks into the dealership and wants to buy a Leaf, they could ALL be given this super-special price. Or is that too much to hope for?
bradbissell said:Specs are up on NissanUSA.com. Looks like the MPGe increased to 130/102 city/hwy MPGe*. What do we think this means for "real" range?
Herm said:It means a faster improved charger.. less power wasted on overhead while the car charges in half the time.
According to a percentage change (17.17%) over the previous economy, this would imply an 85 mile EPA range.edatoakrun said:bradbissell said:Specs are up on NissanUSA.com. Looks like the MPGe increased to 130/102 city/hwy MPGe*. What do we think this means for "real" range?

I'm impressed, if those numbers are correct. Beats every other 2012 BEV:

Quite an improvement over the 2011-12 LEAF's 106/92.
Could mean it will beat my guess of 79 EPA range.
This has me seriously thinking (for the first time) about replacing my 2011...
