Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for advice and input regarding my 2012 Leaf lease buyout. I received the $5,000 purchase discount offer* in my payment this month, and it expires 1/31/2015. My next car will likely be a Tesla Model 3 in 2-4 years. Should I buy my leased car, lease another Leaf, or "other". One fear is that I'll buy this car and by my maturation date the new Leaf is announced.
My commute is short with workplace charging available. But when it's zero degrees F there is some range anxiety.
2012 Leaf SL with 22,000 miles. Lease matures 10/26/15 residual $17,300. Current buyout $20,294 - $5,000 = $15,294.
*Your lease payoff is the Adjusted Lease Balance as defined in your Lease Agreement, less the $5,000 incentive offer. Offer expires January 31, 2015. Your dealer may charge up to a $300 purchase option fee should you choose to purchase your MY12 LEAF.
