Just be aware that Nissan keeps the tax credit in a lease as they still "own" the car - but will usually offer a bigger discount to offset that.
Last I knew they were still applying the full $7500 to the down payment.

I'm interested in a least I live in North Carolina and I'm a lease noob. We have the $7500 fed tax thing and $10k for being Duke energy customer. What kind of leasing deal do I push for in a best case scenario?

May be that the dealer has lots of discretion on how the total "discount/rebate/incentives" are allocated. The sales guy I talked with offered about a $14,000 total discount for the lease option - ostensibly to offset the loss of Fed tax credit. Does anyone know the real facts on how the individual's tax credit can be used by a leasing company?

They can whatever they want with it - they own the car, not the lessee. GM keeps $5k of the $7500. Nissan applies it all to the down payment, thus passing it on to the lessee.
outspoken said:I am interested in a leaf because my local electric company is offering $10k off. I am sorry if this has already been answered but I looked through several threads and did not see this addressed:
1) If I buy a 2017 Nissan leaf with the $10k off from the electric company, can I still negotiate off the MSRP sticker price? How likely would it be that the dealer knocks another $4k off?
2) I have heard if you finance your leaf through nissan finance they give you $4,000 cash back. Can you combine the $4k from nissan finance with the $10k from the electric company rebate?
So would I be able to do this...
2017 Nissan Leaf SV: $34,000 (roughly)
-$10k electric company rebate
-$4k nissan financing cashback
-$4k let's say off MSRP negotiating with dealer
-$7500 federal tax credit
total: $9,000
Is that possible?
Also, I searched Nissans website and only found 30 2017 Nissan leafs in stock at Nissan dealerships near me. Is it possible there's more? That doesnt seem like a lot and I would assume dealerships would be bursting with leafs with gas prices dropping like a rock.
Thanks in advance!

I got the car from Premier Nissan of San Jose. The sales person's name is Olu, his number is 310-621-9116.
Did your price include anything, like gap insurance?
LeftieBiker said:Did your price include anything, like gap insurance?
I believe that Nissan self-insures for GAP. If the car is totaled you lose the down payment, but don't owe anything on the lease.
drhlee1 said:I did not buy the gap insurance. I did get VPP and Leaf loyalty discounts.
By the way, CVRP just run out of money for the standard rebate and any new rebate will be place on the wait list. If you qualify for the increase rebate, they still have funding for that.
specialgreen said:It looks like my utility (Excel Energy) has the $10k incentive extended through August. I would imagine that this promo is to "clear the pipeline" to make room for the 2018s. Has anyone experienced whether dealers are willing to order a specific model/feature package, or are they only selling-off inventory from the lot? Unfortunately, my market (Minneapolis/St. Paul MN) has poor selection.
