    Electric drive vehicle credit 8936 decreased/rejected by IRS

    Same here. BTW, mine was the right amount for 3% interest from April 17th to Dec. 10th-ish.

    Electric drive vehicle credit 8936 decreased/rejected by IRS

    My letter said the same thing. The total time from when I got the letter until my refund arrived at my credit union was less than a week. There's still hope, unless, of course, it would be better to receive it in 2013. :roll: :roll:

    Electric drive vehicle credit 8936 decreased/rejected by IRS

    It was about the same for me too. They said they would get back to me by the 12th of December. I'll be darned if I didn't actually get a letter (two, actually) on the 10th stating that my return was accepted without changes and I should expect a refund in 6-8 weeks :shock:. Interestingly, the...

    Cabin Microfilter Maintenance

    Add me to those too stubborn to remove the glove box. I also almost did it without removing the panel below the glove box. The blasted thing resisted all efforts for about five minutes, and then while I was trying to squeeze my hand up from below to help extricate the filter, the panel suddenly...

    ODOT posted a new video on youtube describing the installation of charging stations along the I-5 corridor and elsewhere in Oregon. The video shows a station being installed and mentions the Detroit and Sisters projects, although no dates are mentioned.

    Extended Nissan Factory Warrantee Demystified

    Tonkin Wilsonville Nissan quoted me $42 less than the Santa Rosa price right off the bat (Gold Preferred 84 Month 100,000 Mile- $1015). They also fare well in reviews/ratings such as Dealer Rater or Google. I don't know if their deals are offered outside the confines of their premises and/or...

    The official "I got my Leaf" thread

    My Leaf was among the waves that came in and ended Joel's vacation ahead of time. Apparently, it arrived Monday the 27th, and I was scheduled to pick it up Thursday at noon. I had a slight issue with my credit union and my check wasn't likely to arrive before I needed to leave to get the Leaf...

    Credit Union Won't Finance Electric Vehicle?

    +1 And, if you've been a member for more than 25 years, you are eligible for a .25% discount on your loan making it 1.74% :D :D :D :D Now, if my Leaf would just get here.... If something seems to good to be true....sigh :( I got my loan papers this week. The rate is 1.99%. I called and was...

    June 2011 Delivery

    Our orders seem to be riding the same yo-yo in the Nissan delivery scheduling room. Of course, I will apply the Nissan Universal Time (NUT) calculator which will take into account the fact that my order was placed earlier and that I am closer to the port of entry than SeaAir (Lannierose is...

    Fast chargers

    Given Ecotality's incredible foot-dragging ability, and the government's (state and federal) lack of prodding, I wonder if there will be any money left by the time they get more than a dozen or so "showcase" projects done. They will probably "require" another $130 million to finish the job they...

    Package from Nissan

    I guess I'm special. 8-) My number key didn't self populate anything except country: US, which was more of a "hard" populator. Anyhoo too.

    Package from Nissan

    If you get an "unable to create your account" message when ordering your shirt, I know one possible reason why. I tried several times on different PC's without success. Undaunted....well,maybe a little daunted, I took a break to tackle other pressing issues. After taking the dogs for their...
