is this a good lease deal?

For a 2016 Leaf S model:

$202/month for a 36 month lease
$209/month for a 24 month lease

For a 2016 Leaf SV model:

$316/month for a 36 month lease
$294/month for a 24 month lease

about $1300 down

I was thinking of holding out for a possible longer range model (Leaf 2017) or until Chevy Bolt prices come out. But now I'm considering the 24 month lease on an S and then see where the technology is at on EV's in 2 years. Is it better to go with a 24 month lease vs a 36 month lease?

IF the car is a 'placeholder' for a couple of years, get a 2 year lease. You should be able to extend it to three if needed (no promises, though.) It's a decent deal for outside of California or Colorado.

Looking back, it appears the poster may live in Colorado. Is this not counting the tax rebate?

Miles / year?

12,000 miles/year

"Looking back, it appears the poster may live in Colorado. Is this not counting the tax rebate?'

Yes I live in Colorado. The tax rebate is worked into the terms of the lease, as I understand it. I don't get the tax rebate separately (isn't that the case with all leases?)

I just got offered $309 a month with zero down for a 2016 SV with Premium, 12k miles, 36 months. I think your dealer is just taking the tax rebate as a bonus for him.

Average deal. You will be paying $8500 for the 36 month S lease and drive off. There should be about a $2000 Colorado rebate.

I say this because there are so many cheap lease returns and a few repos flooding the used market. If you can wait a few months they will be cheaper with the announcement (tomorrow) of the 40kWh cars and by the end of the year the first Bolts coming out.

Your state rebate will be $1150 for the 24 month lease because of their formula.

That lease I was offered fell through - I was getting multiple quotes (or trying with little success locally), and this dealer was in Pennsylvania. When they discovered I live in New York, it went up to $394 a month. BTW, I've been told twice now that Nissan doesn't offer leases with mileage less than 12k.

It's a good deal if your state requires sales tax be paid and that's included. It's a great deal if the car also has Premium Package. If no to both, it's an ok deal.
