We leased our Leaf in Nov. 2011 and our payment is approximately $550/month. Since November of 2012 you can get the same vehicle (actually a newer one) for around $250/month. When I went to the dealership we leased our Leaf from this past week and asked them to lower my lease payment to the current rate I was told that we are on the hook for the $550/month 36month lease we signed. This is true, however things have changed since 11/2011. The first is the supply of Leafs' was high and demand at the price point was low, so Nissan lowered the price- significantly for Leaf leases.
The dealer told me to call the EV toll free number (877) 664-2738 and ask them what Nissan is willing to do. They essentially said the same thing the dealer did- very disappointing!!! I feel that Nissan is treating their new customers better ($250/month) than their old customers ($550/month). When I went back to the dealership this week the 1st thing the salesman said was, I am going to work hard to make your next car another Nissan- well this is not the way to have that happen.
Not sure where to turn to try to get some satisfaction- any advice??
