NEST?

They keep the payment exactly the same and adjust the residual as needed to get the taxes right.

They won't extend the lease for a lower payment, just the same payment.

Some 2011s have been selling for $12k in the used market. A deeply discounted 2011 + new battery may be a huge bargain.

I signed up for a 12 month extension, not 6, at my very low lease payment. For terms more than 6 months they have to send you a contract to sign. The residual is computed based on the monthly payment and not the other way around. In my case it was only a few hundred dollars less than the...

The fabric on the front seat of my 2011 is starting to come loose from the seat. Anybody else experience this? This is something I would expect to see in a 10 year old car, not a 3 year old car (just out of warranty!)

Size: the back seat has very little legroom. Safety: crash test ratings aren't in but it may do very well with the carbon fiber "life module" thing. Design: maybe it's me, but I think it's fugly.

They let me extend my lease for 1 year at my current payment - which is very low, just by calling and asking. No dealer involvement.

At this point I would prefer a low degradation battery with the same range as when my 2011 was new instead a modest increase in range with a big degradation curve.

55-60 miles. 2011 with 29.9K, 11 bars.

First bar just lost - 27.4k miles. SF Bay Area, and I charge to 80% nearly all the time. Not happy.

Maybe I'm mistaking it for another Audi model, but I've seen an eTron parked at the Belmont quick charge station be t to the VW research facility.

I am not so sure I want to get a new LEAF when my lease runs out next year. I don't see much change in the current/expected 2014 model, and there are lots of new cars coming on the market, e.g. the i3. Also, the economics don't make sense to me to buy out the lease, even with the $100/mo...

Why is battery life so long in Alaska? Is this a Nissan estimate?
