We reached an agreement with the dealer - $38,270 minus $10,150 Nissan motor cash back - so $28,120. We put $1000 down, but just realized we didn't sign any paperwork before we left. We know about the $7500 federal tax incentive, but I don't think NY state has any additional incentives. There are exactly 1000 miles on the car at the end of our test drive - they said it's a new car, and that the miles were test drives and demos.
Is that a good deal? It seems like we reached that agreement really painlessly. You know how you want them to make you think they're getting beat up in the back room for even suggesting the deal they are offering you.
So what we're wondering is whether we should pay $28,120 now for a 2012 Leaf SL or wait a few months and buy the 2013 SL when it comes out in our area. We're not sure how much more the 2013 will be, and just how much the improvements are worth to us.
Wikipedia states they've only sold a total of just under 20K Leaf in the US so they are nowhere near running out of the federal tax incentive (200K) - but hubby thinks that this tax incentive might get axed in the federal budget talks in March. So there's no chance that they'd take it away in 2012, is there? if we buy the car before they end the program, we'd be good, right?
