Hi, just joined forum. I don't have Leaf yet, but am seriously considering leasing 2018 LEAF S as our strictly in town second car. I want this second car to be as economical as possible and for that end doing cost analysis. I know what the cost to lease, register, ans insure, but I don't have a good grasp on maintenance cost. According to official 2018 Nissan LEAF | Service and Maintenance Guide | Nissan USA, the scheduled maintenance suggest brake fluid change EVERY YEAR or 7500 miles for Schedule 1 (more severe). I have never heard of any car needing brake fluid changed this frequently. Are people really following this schedule? And if you do, what is usual cost of 6 month interval scheduled maintenance at dealer? Having had Toyota vehicles, I never had to pay for first 2.5 years of scheduled maintenance, and even after that period, most of maintenance were pretty cheap for Toyota, like less than $100 for doing only listed items on manual. For leased vehicle, I am responsible for maintenance, but does that mean I HAVE to take the car back to dealer for scheduled maintenance or can I DIY? Any input is greatly appreciated.
