This was so outside what I expected - I had to make a new thread on this.
Since I got the VIN today, I thought I'd get a quote from my insurance company - Ameriprise (thr' costco). After the usual questions, she asked for the VIN, saying that way they can pull all the info. I thought - really ? We will see about that.
I read the VIN. She said it says invalid VIN. I was about to say, I knew it.
Anyway, she read out the VIN and there was a mistake. Once corrected - there was 15 sec silence. Then she said
"Woohooo - it is a Nissan LEAF !! I want to get one too !!!"
I was stunned. I had not expected anyone to shout so excitedly about it ! Apparently her son (13 yrs) is against getting it - he wants to get a hummer. I heard a nice quote after that - "I'd have to buy a rig to go along with it" !.
Anyway, I told het to come to this forum for any info. She doesn't have a reservation yet - and is in WI. So, she would have to wait till the fall to get a reservation, I guess. No, she doesn't want a Ford - she has an altima now and wants to stick to Nissan.
Oh, BTW, my insurance will be about 70 bucks more for 6 months, for Leaf instead of '98 Maxima.
