Hi all,
This is my first post on MNL.com. I just want to reach out and say a huge thank you to Corina1231 for the excellent help in leasing my first Leaf. Corina1231 has probably helped 40 of us San Francisco Bay Area Leaf owners in getting awesome deals on the Leaf leases.
I leased a 2013 Leaf SL with Premium package, Floor Mats & Cargo Area Mat and Safety Kit (ie. First Aid Kit and Emergency Kit). It is Blue Ocean in color. It was raining like crazy today in the Bay Area so I did not snap any photos of it...but you all know what Leafs look like.
State : California
Sales tax % : 9.00% (Alameda County)
Leaf Trim, options : SL, Premium Package, Floor Mats, Cargo Area Mat and Safety Kit
MSRP : $36,985.00
Invoice : (if you know) Forgot...around $34,900 maybe?
Negotiated Price : $33,428.00 (Total Gross Capitalized Cost was $34,023.00 which includes the Acquisition fee below)
Taxes, Title, Registration : $595.00 (Acquisition fee)
Any other fees (doc, administrative, marketing etc) : None
Money Factor : .00043
Downpayment : $0.00 (Absolutely nothing!). The dealership used the $7,500.00 rebate monies to pay for all the amounts due at Lease Signing
Monthly payment: $394.79 (including tax @ 9.00%)
Term: 36 months
Mileage: 15,000 miles per year
I brought a checkbook with me and I did not even write a single check. Signed my life away on all the documents and walked out of the dealership driving away my new Leaf SL.
I am enjoying the car so far. Just have to look into a L2 EVSE and find an electrician now. Drove the car all over the place and ran it down to 28%. I think I will just let it charge in the standard 120V wall socket for the next 12 hours. I cannot wait to get my L2 charger.
Still trying to figure out how to use the Leaf. I have a lot of reading to do!
