I know I am not the first to post impressions for the 2019 so I will just highlight some things that may have not been noted coming from a 2014 leaf SL owner. I am now the happy owner of a White/black interior SL plus trim. -As expected performance is outstanding. When flooring the car you...

Go ahead keep kidding yourself. By the time I hit the 3 year mark, my leaf will be paid off by 2 years with a resale of at least $20k (TomT confirmed this when he stated his own residual value from his lease). By the time you hit that 3 year mark, you will still be looking at a steep buyout with...

Wow, just wow. I don't know why I need to justify this to you but screw it, if this helps somebody else then so be it. Ironically the source is right in front on your nose, i.e. the owner's manual and on this very site...

I am pleased to see that your real-life range is that good after 45k and cold-climate conditions it can only bode well for my new leaf. You might be pleased with the conclusion I have come up with regarding the battery-plan that Nissan put out at $100/Month. At first I was worried that Nissan...

You can call it cherry picking all you want but in the end it is up to the individual to decide. My "mis-information" came from articles from the auto industry and third-party pro-consumer sites. I even justified some points from an article TomT cited who is so kind enough to call me confused...

No need to look up that 1975 act. I have the Nissan warranty book right in front of me with an obvious disclaimer that makes it crystal clear that using non-nissan equipment violates the warranty. This is what the 1975 act mandates by the way.

Agree about the cash but seriously doubt you made the wrong choice by buying. It's all about the predicted value when you sign the lease and take a look at the comments just posted by someone who leased about termination fees etc. At least one lessee is being upfront about it. And judging by...

Dead wrong eh? Let revisit this in the forums exactly 4 years from now. What do you say? In the mean time I suggest you start saving up on your internet reference articles to justify your case and I will do the same. See you in 4!

It's called a rhetorical question. I don't see rules that prohibit this on this forum.

Hey if the intent is to really buy it, I say go for it, just keep in mind the dealership is going to offer you a deal on a new one that will be out of this world I am sure and you are right back where you started. Hey after reading everything I said on the topic, if you still feel right about...

As much as you don't like to hear this, you should really be looking into a used Leaf. They are already starting to hit the market. See earlier posts. It's all about living within your means. I have lived by this rule for the past 20 years and as a result I am debt free outside a house mortgage...

Short answer: I am not, I am perfectly happy at the end of 5 years and when the battery warranty is almost done to get a new EV, preferably Tesla but maybe Nissan. My point has always been, I fully expect the resale value for my leaf to be just as good as the Fit (adjusted for purchase) I am...

You can bring my conclusions to question all you want and I highly recommend you do your own research scouring the net like I have. I think you will see in the end. And I can spout all I want just like you. Your perception of my error is just that, your perception. Good day Sir!

Oh and one more thing, if you really want to pull this string.... Take note that the latest PEV hybrids like the Volt and Prius are claiming to have much better resale value. Funny how the dealers and makers are the first in line to say this along with the rest of the industry. Hmmm..... Ok...

Since you are an expert on leasing let's talk about residual value. By definition courtesy of your link: Residual Value: This is the leasing company's prediction of what the car will be worth at the end of the lease. The residual value is also important because it affects your monthly payment...
