Thanks for the advice. Honestly the only points that bother me are the passenger side door dings and the potentially broken heater. A proper detailing will take care of the nastiness inside. I could live with the door dings, they aren't really visible until you are close. I did some searching on...

Hello again, I haven't been here in a while since I tried to lease a Leaf in 2013 but couldn't get terms I wanted. I took a break from car shopping for a while and have come back 4 years later while looking at the off-lease cars at decent prices. Leafs are very rare in my area, so selection is...

Considering they can't even make 5-6,000 units per month, how do you figure they will pull that off? April sales were about 2000 units with 2300 left on dealer lots. That 2300 number only increased by 300 from March. That means they made approximately 2300 Leafs in one month.

Dave, how do you figure 50,000 this year? We are only at about 6k so far this year on course to sell 15-20k at most. I know there are more markets than the US, but not enough to make up 35,000 units.

Is your tax in OH based on the full value after tax credit or just the lease amount? Doing calculations for myself based on the residual portion I am responsible for led to 24 payments of $304 or about $3600 per year including everything. I pay 3.25% excise on the post credit amount, not just...

Good lease Legolas. Don't drive it in HOV without sticker.

Seems pretty high for an SL. I would say SL with premium should be $4k/year maximum including everything.

Grats. It was a good enough deal for sure.

That's far higher than the nationally advertised rates, even considering you have to add tax/tag/registration if you roll that in. Here are the rates via Nissanusa.com, refer your dealer to these to begin to get some traction, but you can actually do far better than even these if you break down...

Haven't gotten to that point in my lease. I've seen that it might be waived if you re-lease with Nissan, so you may not have to pay it after all.

That is a reasonable price, but I think you can get more out of them. Invoice on a SV with QC and Premium and destination is $32,135. Taking off $7500 from the federal tax credit, you are left with $24,635. The tax credit is 23.34% of the value of the car. A two year lease gives a residual of...

I'm actually getting some reasonably competitive quotes for being out in a Leaf desert. Still far from a done deal, but not as bad as I expected.

Beginning negotiations for a Leaf to reside in Oklahoma City. Going to be rough, though with only 3 SLs and 2 SVs in the entire state. Looking at going S w/Charge Package or SL w/Premium. Have to decide if I want to go cheap or spendy. Both models perform the same, just get you there in...

How do you figure? I come up with $10,278. 320x35 + 1183 + 395 -2500. Per year is about $3400.

Thanks for the info!
