We just took our new 2013 Leaf S into the dealer for this same problem. They said there are 50-60 cars ahead of us in line for this repair, that it's a known issue, and are providing us with a sentra as a loaner car until they have our part available around Christmas. We're not very happy at...

valuebuyer- any idea what your sales tax rate is where you live? I can compare against my deal with that info. Let me know. -A

Not certain on the rebate, but I would ask--not sure why it would be different on different trim levels. As for pricing, I'd shoot for $32820 (Edmunds TMV is usually a good start). Also, be sure to check the internet pricing on similar models to see if anyone has a car listed at a better price...

Here's the details on the current Lease offer for an S in WA: Notice the section about 8150 manufacturer's rebate. Excludes taxes, title, and license. $1,999 initial payment required at consummation. (Includes $1,800 consumer down payment, $199 first month payment.) (INCLUDES $8,150...

Your lease payment typically has three parts: the depreciation fee, the finance fee, and tax fee. In your case with no sales tax, I guess you don't have the third part. So, you can take your total depreciation /36 to get the majority of your payment and then add in your interest, which is your...

So, when we went in to sign the paperwork, we had to wait almost three hours to sign the paperwork. When we did, I noticed the Money factor went from 0.00003 to 0.00005. They fixed it, and claimed it was a "typo"! After complaining about the wait and the change in interest, they are...

ADVNorthWest: I'm definitely confused by their numbers too. Although, I think the monthly payment would be higher than what they quoted...A lease payment has three parts: the depreciation fee, the finance fee, and the sales tax. If your state doesn't have sales tax, then you would have two...

So, my wife and I bought a car in April, and the transmission just died in it with a $5,000 repair tag. So, we're terribly upside down in a car that doesn't go faster than 10 MPH. We happened upon the Nissan Leaf and the advertised $199 lease offer, and here's where our negotiations landed us...
