...
The first 2013 LEAF got to Redding CA ~ 3/15 and immediately sold.
There were three more 2013s at Crown Nissan when I dropped on 3/23 by while I was having my LEAFs tires rotated across the street.
I was immediately made an offer "I (almost) could not refuse" on a 2013, by a very persuasive salesman.
If they had had a slate SL on the lot, I might have been unable to resist.
One thing I noticed, is that at Crown, ALL the sales associates can now sell the LEAF, where as until very recently, only two or three "LEAF specialists" were allowed to make LEAF sales.
If this is policy has changed nationwide, Id expect it to be a significant factor in the rapid increases in monthly LEAF sales, as the prior incentive for many sales associates to push buyers toward ICEVs has been eliminated.
IMO, you should ever underestimate the power of a sales commission...
