I leased 2017 Nissan Leaf for 24 months. I put $0 down and pay $249/month. My lease ends in 5 months.
I wasn't planning on keeping the car, I was happy basically just paying to rent a car and then maybe rolling into something newer at the end.
However, I'm re-considering, and have a newbie question. The 2018 & 2019 Leafs are significant upgrades over the 2017 Leaf. So I imagine the 2017's value is substantially decreased. The battery life is so small compared to a lot of the newer EVs. Is it possible to negotiate a good deal to buy out my Leaf, or is the price already set in stone when I leased the car? Clearly, I know nothing about leasing and didn't really pay much attention to the Money Factor etc. when I leased because I was happy to put $0 down and only pay $250/month and didn't plan on buying the car at the end. Thanks for any input.
