    End of Lease Strategies?

    In my case, had nothing to do with the annual lease, but the date of my registration which falls in November. It didnt make a difference if my lease extension was for a year instead of 9 months.

    Held on to the car for every possible minute. Turned my 2015 Nissan with 5 minutes to go before closing 10 days after the lease end date. 39,500 plus miles after leasing it for 45 months. (40 months x $205) and taking advantage of the GA state $5000 rebate and paying the $200 surcharge for 3...

    So I am glad I scheduled the inspection and not fix my dents. The guy from AIM was very reasonable. Luckily all the multiple dents were on the same part. A local collision shop would have charged me nearly 900 bucks to replace the bumper . The AIM guy said it wouuld cost me nearly 550 which I...

    Also, has anyone had an experience where they found more damage after the return than the inspector deemed reportable?

    Is it true you can take it 10 days late after the lease expires? I called NMAC and they seem to confirm. Just wanted to make sure this is 100%.

    After reading all the posts here, no point in shopping around dealers for my 42 month old black 2015LEAF (S no QC) with one bar missing and 38K miles old. Also, i called Nalley Nissan and they told me the same thing. Even 9000 is not doable. They said the best time woudl have been earlier in...

    Would the mileage on our cars be a factor in how much the dealers are willing to go down?> My 2015S without QC has 38,000 miles on it after using it for 41 months. And it is down to 11 bars. And in the winter, when temps in ATL went down to the teens a couple of weeks ago, with the heater on, I...

    My 2015 S which I got the 10000 buyout offer from Town Center Nissan has lost one bar a few weeks ago. It is 3 and half years old with 36,000 miles. But the range seems to have nosedived in the 20-30 degree weather we have been experiencing recently in Atlanta. In past winters, I was getting 60...

    Winter is hard on range!

    Atlanta was in the low 30s yesterday. And I am down to 11 bars in recent weeks. Fully charged and what was normally a 50-60 mile range in the winter was down to 32 miles before I hit the danger range of ---; That's a ridiculously low range. Heat is on full blast varying at 72-77 degrees...

    Jon Detter never replied to my text. When I called him later, he just sent me an "I am busy. call you later" text. Also I noticed I just lost my 12th bar at 35000 miles. Will that reduce the value of the car and give me more leverage in negotiating or should I actually look past this and move...

    I have a 2015 S without QC. 40 months old. 35000 miles. I wonder if I can get a price around that 8000-9000 mark. I would do the buyout in a heartbeat. Can we deal with dealers out of state if we are based in Atlanta?

    I did not realize how well the used LEAFS were doing. I guess I cant blame the dealership then if they can get a better price. I guess those who got the 2015 Leaf in July 2014 pay a much higher amount than the ones who got the 2014 Leafs in June 2014 because of the residual values with the...

    What is the incentive for the dealers not to budge on the price. If they dont sell it to me at a discount, would they receive full price from the manufacturer? Or is the resale price so good they can get 11000 plus on a 40 month old car with 35000 miles on it?

    So what would you guys think is this big disparity in buyout deals . Not too long ago, Nissan was offering 3-6K off the residual. What has changed recently where the prices seem to have gone up in the used market even though newer models with larger ranges are imminent.

    Man, I think there were better deals last year itself. I got a 2 year lease for a 2015 S without Quickcharge in July 2014. Last year, I got it extended after they gave me 2 months free. After the third year expired, I got another extension for 9 months until April 2018(with 3 months free and I...
