You must have a very lenient dealer. I have been quoted close to $500 for wear and tear for door dings/scratches in addition to the $395 disposal fee. The waiver only applies if I buy/lease another Nissan.
The one dealership in Dallas that has the Bolt in stock quoted nearly $41K out the door...
After all the frustration with local Nissan dealers, I decided to do a lease extension until the 2018 is premiered in September. Called Nissan and they said I could get an extension till April, which would give me enough time to evaluate the 2018 Leaf later this year and decide at that point...
Is anyone aware of any research done on the health effects of driving around in an EV, since we are effectively sitting on a large battery.
I am curious because that came up in a conversation recently where the person said they would never buy an EV because you don't know what harm the battery...
I have a 2015 LEAF with 17K+ miles on it. Currently showing full bars. What's the expected life on the battery on these cars?
I've read people starting to lose bars in 3-5 years. Just trying to decide whether to buyout my lease and how long I can reasonably expect to keep driving the car if the...
Spent an hour and half at a local dealership yesterday and had a terrible experience. The sales folks act as if they know nothing of the buyout incentives and keep selling me a new Nissan, any Nissan, because they don't have any new LEAFs in stock. I walked away disappointed.
At this rate, I...
Sorry, didn't see your signature. So you got a 2013 for $8300.
I was just offered a buyout price of 11.5K from another dealer. Still undecided if it's a good deal, because they also offered to buy it for 9.5K if I decided to get a new Nissan.
@SageBrush Did you purchase a used 2015 for $8300. What was the mileage on it? Mine has just over 17K on it now. And you are correct, I can't justify paying $12K (including TTL) to buyout my lease.
The quote I got for a new 2017 LEAF S was $25K (including TTL).
Thanks. I contacted the dealership where I bought the car, no deal there. Contacted another dealership, they said to bring it in so they can appraise it and let me know if they can offer a better deal.
Yes, I realize the $7500 tax break may not work out if I don't owe that much in taxes.
I got the offer for 6-month extension for waiting to get the 2018 LEAF. I called them about it and found it wasn't really worth it.
Thanks
So, the options are:
- Pay the disposition fee + about $500 wear and tear, and return the vehicle
- Pay $11K + TT&L to keep the 2015 LEAF
- Pay $23K + TT&L for a new LEAF and get the $7500 Federal Tax break
I checked the Blue Book on my 2015 and it's about 9K to sell or 11K + TTL to buy used...
