Dear Michael,
Thank you so much for getting back to me! We have contacted Nissan regarding the adjusted residual for your Leaf and we can in fact sell it to you for $5000. Your dedicated sales representative for the buyout will be Bill Jones our leaf specialist. Please let me know if you're looking to move forward on the buyout as it is valid for the month only.
Thanks again,
Suzanne

Sorry for the late reply, but I was waiting for another two dealerships to reply. One did, one didn't. The one who did doesn't have a figure yet. Does the $5000 include all fees (except sales tax)?

No, but our fees are minimal, only $100, plus dmv fees (if necessary since it's your own vehicle) and sales tax (based on your registration zip code).
Please let me know if you're looking to move forward with us as we'd love the opportunity to earn your business.
Thanks again,
Suzanne

I'm going to wait a week or so to get other replies, but $5100 is acceptable to me, absent a better offer. Would I have to drive to Albany, or can this be handled via Priority Mail? If I have to drive there, maybe I'll get the 2G to 3G telematics upgrade done by you at the same time. Thanks for the prompt responses!

Michael,
I wanted to touch base as quickly as I could. We just got word from Nissan that your vehicle will actually cost $6225 to buy out. I know you were excited about the $5100 and I wanted to be as straightforward and honest as I can be in all my dealings. I know you wanted to wait for the other dealerships to get back to you, so I wanted to address this as soon as possible.
Hopefully we will still have the opportunity to earn your business.
Sincerely,
Leftie Biker <[email protected]>

I don't think I can buy it at that price. Why did you quote me $5000?
It looks to me like the dealership decided they have to get a cut of the discount, even after a firm price quote to me. My only real question is whether or not this was the plan all along...
