Based on the current lease numbers for a 2018 SV, I see that what I'll pay for leasing for 6 years is the same as the purchase price - fed rebate and sales tax exemption.

No offense, but that is exactly why you should lease, not buy. You will have a low risk 3 year test drive before you have to decide about buying.

the tax credit is applied to the lease so you would get that immediately instead of having to wait until you file your tax return or be required to have that much tax liability.ayekay said:thanks... yes the $3000 sales tax exemption which ends in May was a factor.. the other was that Nissan Leafs 3 years from now won't be eligible for the $7500 tax rebate as well.

Keep in mind that Nissan now passes on the Federal tax credit only if you lease an S. Lease an SV or SL and you get a couple of thousand instead, with a higher residual.
Do you mean that the 'couple thousand' is via the higher residual, or that both are given ? If the latter, then how much in total ?LeftieBiker said:DaveinOlyWA said:the tax credit is applied to the lease so you would get that immediately instead of having to wait until you file your tax return or be required to have that much tax liability.ayekay said:thanks... yes the $3000 sales tax exemption which ends in May was a factor.. the other was that Nissan Leafs 3 years from now won't be eligible for the $7500 tax rebate as well.

?that would be news. Did you not just lease an SL? How much did they give you

I started a whole topic on this, and response was tepid, at best. I got about $2700 from Nissan, while they pocketed the tax credit. They also raised the residual about $1k, which lowers the payments slightly, but also makes the car less affordable to buy.
