mkjayakumar, Just for your information -- you and your friends got those deals in March. It is now November/December (depending on when someone has read/is reading this). Those same deals do not exist. You purchased your Leaf as the 2014's were running out and so they were highly incentivized...

Yeah. The survey basically falls on deaf ears. Nissan does nothing but punish the dealer with responses. There are no changes made based on your input, as all dealers are basically independently owned and operated. 9/10 on every questions equals a 900/1000, and salesman are required to maintain...

Will never happen.

That's alright you guys. I think Nissan is finally done giving away these cars. For a month and a half now, the residuals for these Leafs have been closer to standard cars, with normal money factors. Hopefully the manufacturer keeps these prices the same and stops cheapening the value of this...

Main reason for this is the residuals on the 2015. Residuals for 15 are right around 45-50%. Money factors aren't great either. 13's and 14's were .00003, the 15's are .00015. Nissan will incentivize it once they see inventories are void of 14's. Patience is a virtue. Right now (in TX...

The 2015 is stupid expensive right now.

Anyway, none of this is about the merits of the car business or the wealth car salesman can/cannot acrue. I just wanted to educate the average Leaf customer on our side of things. I think that my fellow Leaf Sales Guys will appreciate it. That pretty much concludes my participation in the...

I don't get a spin on every car. Just Leafs. Betwen 1 and 3 a month in my market is a good month for a Leaf Salesman. We also sell other cars. Sorry I didn't clarify.

Sorry to disappoint. Some people will not be happy regardless. My point in posting this is simply to dispell the idea that LEAF SALES (not F&I, not other cars, not managers) are a very high risk, low reward business to be in. Is F&I crooked? Absolutely. Are the managers responsible for making...

All Leafs are A Plan. No matter your VPP tier, you get A Plan when you buy a Leaf.

Carmax won't lease. The best deal is at your dealer. Even third party leasing companies that promise "fleet prices" won't get you a $199/month or whatever the current "good deal" is.

This is pretty much the exact opposite of the point of my OP. But yes. Essentially, you could say, "I want my deal and in exchange I won't screw you on the survey". Sure. This post is meant to say -- don't hold the survey over salesmen's heads. It's the only reason we do it - let's be honest -...

Yeah. Spiffs exist. Absolutely. We get paid a couple of hundred dollars for selling the most cars over the weekend or $25 per sold appointment. Or something to that effect. But at the end of the day, and what many people fail to understand: If a "mini" (or minimum commission on a car) is...

Indeed. That's why the Leaf is going to fail. Unfortunately. If you lose money on every one you sell, why keep selling them? Tesla might not sell nearly as many... but they've got the right idea.

Appreciate ya.
