I don't understand.
My whole intention to lease a Leaf is predicated on the $5000 rebate. No rebate, no sale.
Has nothing to do with port or dealership delivery.
No, I don't understand. The $5000 CA rebate isn't factored into the lease. You can't even apply for the rebate until after you have the car. So how do you plan to make your decision to lease predicated on the rebate?
The $5,000 isn't factored into the Lease payments, but it's factored into my own cost/value equation.
If the car arrives, and the CA rebate is not funded, I won't lease the car. I hope that's not too surprising or confusing. Further, I expect there are other buyers like myself.
So, the morning I go to take delivery (whenever that is, since Nissan isn't saying), I will check the CA Rebate page, and see how many rebates remain. If this is zero or very close to zero, then someone else can have my Leaf.
For Jan/Feb deliveries, this doesn't seem too risky. If the fund gets replenished, then we may get further into the year. But if Nissan misses the window and the car arrives at $5k more than I'm planning, then no sale.
