No not a very fair comparison, I'm not sure if VAT is payable on leases! I was going off the Nissan UK finance calculator using the op's details to compare to rip off Britain prices. https://tools.nissan.co.uk/finance-calculator/new%20leaf SUMMARY YOUR QUOTE Monthly payments £492 Customer...

There are quite a few disgruntled people over here who had their names down for leasing the 2018 Leaf, and from what I've been reading some have withdrawn from the list because of the expensive leases on offer. In the OP's case zero down & 10K miles it would cost £492 / $655 month for 10K miles

Greenpeace have just boarded a ship in the Thames estuary carrying thousands of VW diesel cars bound for the UK. https://www.rt.com/uk/404058-greenpeace-board-ship-volkswagen/

Overall the car looks very good indeed 8-) & I agree about that analog speedometer, It's like something from an 80's budget vehicle. It looks like it's not very easy to read at all and you especially need a good readable speedometer here as all the old style speed cameras are being replaced...

Apart from the ULEZ (ultra low emission zones) being brought in for major towns & cities in the UK where older vehicles will be charged or banned the government doesn't seem to do anything unless it's threatened by the EU courts or the lawyers at Clientearth who took the UK government to court...

Yes lets just hope they mean it and are not just kicking the can down the road, Germany (and India) are looking to bring in these measures by 2030. I was reading an article yesterday & no wonder BMW has announced that it's 'electrifying' it's model range. TESLA MODEL 3 Owners Club, ran an...

WOW! :o I have never seen that before in my entire life, It will be interesting to know what caused it.

The UK government has just made the same announcement official, No more diesel/petrol cars from 2040 :D http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40723581

It's ruined a lot of sites, one in particular I use quite often is a "How to" auto electrical site with step by step pictures on how to do the job, Now ruined. :evil:

Daimler to recall 3 million Mercedes Benz diesel engined cars in Europe to improve emissions. :o https://www.mail.com/int/business/economy/5367218-daimler-to-recall-3-vehicles-to-ease-diesel-doubts.html#.1258-stage-hero1-8

This is exactly what I intend to do here in the UK, I've been saving sporadically for just over two years now for a Leaf & another 6/8 months will get me the best deal on a later model Gen 1 Leaf when people will jump for the 2018 model. Good luck in your quest. :)

Would a 9 volt memory saver plugged into the cigarette socket work! https://www.amazon.com/Powerbuilt-648539-Computer-Memory-Keeper/dp/B004BW9J1Y/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BAVAA91NSTCDFP3JTRVP

They are indeed Imperial measurements. :)

I'm seeing prices steadily coming down on used Leafs here but the take up of EV's is still very small especially in my neck o the woods. I see very few on the roads here. although petrol is still around the (equivalent) $7 gallon mark the best selling cars of 2017 are getting great MPG figures...

Yikes! that would really tick me off to get that needless sort of hassle. Funny thing I was just reading about another bad PCP lease experience (not from a Nissan lease) A guy came to his lease end only to have someone scratch & dent the car in a car park. He told his insurers & they sent the...

Yeah Good call, the guy also took pictures of the underside of the driver & passenger seats so I'm assuming the water was up to the bottom of the seats. I'll bide my time to get one. :D

I'm seeing quite a few end of lease Leafs here, mainly the base model (Visia) but most of them come with the 'flex' battery lease still attached to them, I'm still biding my time until later in the year to get the model I want & at the right price. There is one Leaf for sale here that's...

You're absolutely right, the past governments persuaded people to buy diesel engined cars without a clue about their emissions, It was like the blind leading the blind. The dealers are still trying to sell diesel engined cars to people who shouldn't be buying them, they're invariably used as a...

It's official! The air pollution in Britain is higher than that in Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil, and double the rate in the United States, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). How ridiculously disappointing is that! :shock...
