Hello,
I am a newbie to all of the above and I was wondering how good of a deal is going for a leased LEAF. I live in the south Bay area and the distributor is offering me a lease with:
- $0 down
- $299/mo lease for 39 months (first month no payment) and 12.000 mi/year. With 8.375% tax it is $324/mo.
- $859 once pre-pay maintenance to cover the 39 months (assume + tax = $931)
- $2,500 cash back
- Total over 39 mo is $9,813 lease payment
- road assistance included for the full term
I am considering extra costs of $0.14/kW (calculated from my bill), $500 of ding and cosmetic fixes at the end of lease (offered by Nissan), DMV registration (year 2 and 3) of $350 (estimated?) and insurance of $800/6-months (from insurance company).
I have a Honda Accord 96 with 130,000 and between 28-30 mi/galon (measured) and lately I am driving avg. of ~20mi/day ~ 8,000/year.
Is this really a good deal because of the car itself, the lease, the technology?
I appreciate your comments and feedback. Thank you!
