I agree with this, the 24 month lease is the way to go. Not everyone has problems with the battery and those that do are getting close to the third year of use.surfingslovak said:epete said:thanks KJD. That is an important statement from Brian. It still sounds like I should wait until Late 2014 if I go with Leaf.
Pete, would you consider taking a 2-year lease out instead of purchasing the LEAF outright this year? From your earlier posts it would appear that you are located in Basking Ridge, NJ. Generally speaking, I would not be concerned about battery longevity in New Jersey, and would only consider waiting for the new battery if I preferred a purchase over a lease.
It also appears that the EV market will change for the better in the next 2 years.
