LeftieBiker said:The buyout on my 2013 SV (with no QC) was $17k.
leafer007 said:My bad...I should have been clear. I was only frustrated with having to explain multiple dealerships about something called buyout incentive. Infact there was this one guy who was arguring with me logically explaining that Nissan gives buyout incentives to dealers so that dealerships can buy the car when lease gets returned. I chose not to argue further woth him :|
leafer007 said:Hey guys, I am at the dealership in ther process of buying out my lease. I heard this guy talking to another one about adding a $395 disposition fee + $75 some other fee.
My contract clearly notes disposition fee applocable only if you donot purchase the vehicle. But Im purchasing it. Not sure why they are adding this.
Whoever bought their lease, did you guys also pay these fees?
**Update**
They are calling this 395 as the doc fee! Im asking for more information
leafer007 said:The salesman gave me a call and they finally agreed to not charge an additional $395 but instead do the $300 purchase option + $75 nissan fee.
So the price is coming to
$10800 + $300 + $75 + 6.25% tax + $341
He is throwing in detailing and extra car wash.
I guess this is the best I can get afer trying out other dealerships. I had to literally send the other dealers the Leaf GPO discount quote and even then they had no clue.
Anyways. This is the best I got and Im cool with it
I have one more important question. I guess this is specifically for Texas buyers - I was under the impression that texas leasees pay the full sales tax upfront so we dont have to pay sales tax again? I brought this up but the finance manager was adamant saying we pay the sales tax only on the leased portion. We are required to pay tax on the residual when you buy it.
Almost all online forums say texas leases suck big time because of upfront sales tax. And my lease contract doesnt show any sales tax so it looks like i didnt pay any tax! Can somebody please clarify this?

Residual Value: $10,118.10
Excuse my ignorance but my understanding is if I wanted to buy the car, I'd owe Nissan $10,118.10 + TTL + any other BS fee the dealer makes up that I can't talk them out of, correct?
My wife knows I'm adamant about having an EV, whether it's this one or another, but she wants one with longer range. I'm learning towards keeping this one and paying it off quickly so we have no car payments . It only has 30K miles on it and battery is at 12 bars. It has the Around View Monitor and Bose system (no quick charge though). For a 2015, hard to beat that. Do wish it had the range of the new ones but not looking to start over buying a new car.

By accounts here, 2015 is considered to have the most durable LEAF battery so far.
I've paid $319/mth for (soon to be) 36 months. Plus a $1,500 down payment. That total will be $12,984 so if I buy it for $10,118, I'll have paid a total of $23,102 (plus TTL and fee) for a car that had a MSRP of $34,890! Differences between those two numbers are the tax credit, dealer discounts, and a small amount for a car I traded in.leafer007 said:There is a $300 purchase option fee that is listed on my lesse contract. But you can definitely talk about other fees, push them as hard as you can.
I think overall, 10118 is a pretty good deal. I am not sure how much you have already paid?
