They have given quotes to a lot of us for $100 below invoice. When we got quotes, Greg asked us to take "Buy" quotes even if wanted to lease, as that would be faster etc.Desertstraw said:People have alleged in posts here that while Rairdon offers a low lease price for the Leaf, they then overcharge for the financing. This would make savings through leasing from them illusory. However, if they sell the car, they cannot slip in other charges. Therefore, the question relates to whether "$100 below invoice" is what they charge for purchase of the car without financing". This would be established if someone has gotten an official quote from them.
There is atleast one report of Rairdon's honoring the buy price. It is only with lease that they are marking up.
Personally, if they try to markup the money factor for me when my car comes in - I'll just switch to buy. Already Nissan's lease isn't great (4.9% for lease) - so any more would make it financially not worthwhile.
