I like my 2012 Leaf well enough, but am appalled by how much I'm overpaying relative to folks who held off a couple more months. My 39-month lease began almost exactly a year ago, and my monthly payments are nearly twice what people are reporting now for 24-month leases.
I have to imagine many of you are in the same spot. It would almost be cheaper for me to buy out my lease, sell it to my dealer, and refinance it, than to keep paying my payments!
It seems unlikely we have any grounds to force Nissan Motors Acceptance Corp. to renegotiate the lease contract, but as a matter of customer relations I would think they might want to do something to mollify the true early adopters, like me, who sat or a reservation for over a year and picked up the Leaf the first day it was ready. Obviously Nissan can afford a significantly lower money factor than they offered in November 2011 now that they want to move inventory.
Has anyone attempted to renegotiate with NMAC? Any advice? Suffice it to say my tweet to this effect to @nissanleaf went unanswered.
