With the botched American launch I may wait until May to try to catch discounts here as my lease ends.

Has everyone else missed that the ops LEAF was purchased in Virginia which is not a ZEV state? Doesn't that make a good deal harder to get?

Yes, but not impossible. We're in VA and are currently leasing a 2015 SV w/ Prem for $198/mo with nothing down other than first month's payment. But good lease deals on EV's in Virginia take a lot more work than for the same car on SoCal.

HornsKeith said:My point was merely that the problem with getting good lease deals on a 2018 Leaf isn't the fact that someone is in Virginia- it's that the 2018 Leaf just launched and is brand new. And it's often very challenging to get reasonable lease deals on anything that's brand new, regardless of the make or model.

My auto insurance went up, even though this vehicle was "less expensive" at the start of the lease than the 2015 it replaced.
This, combined with the unrelated fact that I am in a partnership of an aircraft wherein we buy a "declared value" insurance policy, has got me to thinking I am being robbed by the insurance company, more than usual.
Does anyone have any insight into whether or not we are paying to insure the "rebate" amount of the car in our comprehensive coverage? I asked the insurance representative for the amount of money they are going to pay in a full loss and it was like talking to a brick wall.
Inflation, at a minimum.VinceGlorioso said:At last check my FICO score was in the high 700's.
