In Colorado for 2 more weeks, 9000 point of sale rebates plus 7500 federal for base model. I wanted a kona with lifetime battery but not available so got the leaf. Name recognition....I'll sell it in 5 and get an SUV then. Need to know someone with Colorado driver's license.
I'm in CO but besides the fed tax credit I only know of 5k for state and 3.5k for utility. I might get 1k of 'Nissan cash' but not sure about that.
I just did it. I got about 2k discount from Nissan as well on top of those squeezing in right at the end of the year. I however only got 2.5k from xcel as I got a plus. Point of sale rebates and discounts I did get over 9k point of sale. I did contact dealers from the springs to northern colorado which helps. Xcel is now expired, will they renew I do not know but the rumor I am hearing is not this time. Colorado went from 5k to 4k. As far as discounts from Nissan wait until the 2020s are on the lot to try that again on a leftover 2019 and contact a bunch of dealers. We still have federal credits as we have not sold enough Leafs unlike GM and Tesla. Xcel only gave that money for Leaf and for Mitsubishi outlander 3.5k for 40kw and 2.5k for 60. Different dealers have different sales and discounts often off different leafs in stock but will often price match written offers which allowed us to go to different dealers and get the exact wife approved color and packages. The reason to get a leaf is one can still get fed rebate mainly and at the time xcel. The bolt used up fed and no xcel and the car has less room than the leaf (I have two kids and need to haul a stroller and stuff). Dealers play weird games with prices too like Tynan's Aurora had 3.5k dealer discount (beyond the state and xcel they say) off of all SV pluses at end of year but the math did not work out any better vs some others for me probably delivery fees and such which some dealers do not do. Tynan's sale ended. If you know someone at Nissan they can give you a friend and family discount as well which I think is about 2k, the manager of empire lakewood lives down the street from me and had offered it to some people but did not respond to me, I did not make proper friends with him and end of year so all cool. I am not the best but even with a leaf one can play haggle games at certain times, leaf is admittedly much harder than many ICE cars. It takes a lot of time too. The reason not to get a leaf is of course the lack of battery cooling like even the bolt has.
