I wouldn't be surprised that the supply of used Leaf's is tightening up. They are dirt cheap and fewer are probably being turned in as many including myself have taken advantage of extending their leases instead of rolling them over. Once the 2018 starts coming out there will be almost a...

After I posted I reread and realized the language was for the recapture of the three months free payments if terminated early. It was just preceeded with the standard canned language that led me to read it in the wrong light. I extended today. I wasn't expecting the payments to drop, I know...

I was irritated that it took several calls and nearly a month to finally get the lease extension paperwork. It was not as it was presented in my phone calls. The paperwork arrived with a fixed length term ending on March 31st 2018 with early termination penalties. Same lease payments for a new...

I find it odd, the silence from Nissan. Chevy is making sure the Bolt is in the news and drumming up interest in the car. Tesla just showed their model 3 & generating enough hype that over 130,000 people ponied up a grand to reserve their spot. Brilliant move as that gives them a nice chunk...

To me the falling prices on used Leaf's is not just battery degradation but also supply/demand and pricing of new and incentives. There are incentives to buy a new Leaf but essentially zippo for used. No tax credit and in Washington state no sales tax exemption on used. So most buyers are...

Similar experience but different path. We returned our 2012 Leaf with 28 K miles and got a new 2015 Leaf. It is much quieter, probably due to newer tires, has more room in the back, I like the improvements (% charge view, lighted charge port, etc) and especially the more efficient heater. The...

Negotiating purchase price is what I do when purchasing as dealers can finagle the financing to get a low monthly payment but high interest rates and long payment terms can result in little equity build-up. Even after the purchase price negotiation, there's usually a second round of...

Not all that different. About $600 total cost over three years (Cash due at signing plus 35 months payments). Bellevue area vs Tacoma may be part of the difference.

My First Lease I paid $2,000 cash due at signing and my monthly payments were $167 for a 24 month 15K mile/yr lease. Shortly afterwards I realized that all that money was at risk in case the car was totaled. So for my second Leaf lease I paid nothing for cash due at signing. In its place was...

If the clicking noise is the first time backing up after coming to a stop and letting it sit for a while (as in overnight or at work), it may just simply be the disc brake pads shifting position. Other front driver's I've had developed the same noise and so did my Leaf. Have never had this...

You're welcome. BTW, don't get the pre-paid scheduled maintenance. It's not worth it as Nissan pays for the first two annual battery checks. There's no cost savings as you the rest of the maintenance you can either do it yourself or get it done elsewhere cheaper. Another reason I went with a...

2015 Leaf SV with quick charge package, splash guards, floor mats, and destination MSRP: $34,850 ($32,000 + 1,630 + 190 + 180 + 850) Sale price $31,795 ($3,055 under MSRP, not sure what invoice was) With Acquisition fee of $595 the Cap Cost was $32,390 Rebates and non-cash credits ($9,575) The...

Apparently there's a healthy market for used Leafs on the East Coast. Back when I was shopping for my 2012, the lease rates were $50 less per month for the Northwest compared to zip codes entered for other parts of the country. I think Nissan was subsidizing Leaf sales here as it is a good...

Picked up my 2015 SV with Quick Charge/LED package and the usual splash guards/floormats last night 0 down, $295 per month, 24 month lease, !5,000 miles per year or could have done $255 with $1,000 down. Three year lease quotes were about $10 per month cheaper with $1000 down. If you put more...

I picked up my 2015 SV with Quick Charge/LED package and the usual splash guards/floor mats last night. I don't have the paperwork in front of me but this is ballpark (can post specifics later if there's interest): A tad over $3,000 under MSRP. I might have been able to do better on a leftover...
