So, I kept putting it off with the hope that something would happen to make my LEAF materialize in the garage but I finally caved and renewed the registration on my current car - on the last day before late penalties were to be assessed. It was only $160, but it did get me thinking about the maintenance, fuel and other operating costs associated with my current car that continue to mount while I "patiently" await delivery of my precious blue LEAF. Between my originally expected delivery date of late-December to early January and April 2011, I expect those costs to total $750-875.
I fully realize that I would have born these expenses were the LEAF not to market and I'm not in any way blaming Nissan. If anything this thought exercise makes me look forward to the day that I don't have to worry about serpentine belts, oil changes, transmission fluid and gasoline.
So, a question for all the "LEAFless", "pending" and "not-yet-able-to-order": How much will your ICE cost you between now and your estimated delivery?
