The official "I got my Leaf" thread

Hi All!

I got a new Leaf last night. Blue 2015 SL w/PP.

I live in Austin, TX, and am excited to own my first all electric car!

I know two people who've had Leaf's for 2 and 1 years, respectively (one in LA, one in Austin). They've been very happy with theirs.

Thanks!

Got my 2015 SV in Gun Metallic yesterday! Love it so far. (first post)

Paid invoice price +TTT - $3500 NMAC and 0% financing.

Just turned in my 13 lease a bit early (end was April), for a 15 gun metallic (this time with quick charge and the LED headlights... (I wanted the headlights before, but didn't get the quickcharge because there were none around here at the time, and no one knew when there would be).. wish all they had made all the changes on the 15 cycle, but oh well. I'm still happy with the Leaf.. hence getting a 15 now, and I had -0- issues with my 13 SV.

^^^ I wanted the SV+QC/LED, but the dealer wanted to move a SV and let me buy it for invoice. I hope I don't regret the non-QC...

Congratulations on all the savings. Strange. those wheels look the ones that normally come with the SL. I didn't know they offered independent wheel + tire upgrades.

Maybe last year, but AFAIK they are standard for the '15 SV.

I'm hoping Nissan makes some cool improvements on the ergonomic side for the 2016 so I can trade in my 2014 for something better. The car is and runs great but the seating accomodations need serious improvement as does the visibility.

I got my new Leaf last night! It only had 10 miles on it!!


Here's the details:

2015 Nissan Leaf SV in Cayenne Red with Light Partially Recycled Cloth Interior
17" alloys with Michelin's since it's just off the assembly line (late availability wheels) instead of 16"
Premium Package
Splash Guards
Cargo Cover
Floor Mats Including Rear Cargo Area Mat

MSRP: $35,190.00

I paid $31,900 minus the $3,500 NMAC rebate = $28,400 on 72mo 0% interest. I'll qualify for the entire $7,500 tax credit too so I'm all in for $20,900 + TTL. Can't beat that with a stick if you ask me!

It's trickle charging in my garage after a trip to the zoo today & I have two electricians bidding on my level 2 EVSE install later on today.

Two weeks ago, we picked up our (replacement) 2015 S w/QC in Cayenne Red. MSRP was $32k even, paid 29,800 which is roughly $600 under invoice when the destination is factored in. Went with the to-good-to-be-true November promo of $3500 instant rebate PLUS 0% for 72mo. I should be able to take advantage of the full $7500 tax credit, so I'm looking at a real price of $18,800 +TT. Not too shabby.

Our original 2013 S w/QC got into an argument with a deer, and neither won Wife was driving it to work like normal, got a couple miles down the road when a Prius (ironically) clipped a deer and sent it airborne right thru our windshield. Literally. Damage was enormous inside and out. Luckily my wife came away with only a gash on her forehead and frayed nerves. Thank God nobody was in the passenger seat or it would be a different story. It was interesting to see the appraisal report for the parts costs... The front seats are $1600 each, and the trip computer is $3500 by itself! Car was only 6mo. old with about 7,500 miles. Arguably I was overpaying on my lease payment on that car so everything worked out in the end
