3) I don't know of anyone who decided to buy who paid anywhere near the full cost of the residual

The current lease deal is pretty attractive. Especially if I can get the $2000 state rebate NY signed into law on April,1st 2016 but hasn't implemented yet. To buy at the end would be about $17,500 plus tax total out of pocket for a new 2016 Leaf S24 with charging upgrade with the state rebate coming later if it is retroactive. If I had to pay the written residual of $8,365. How much lower do you think I could get for the buy out at the end? Can I expect to get the dealer to contibute to the discount right now?
