An interesting side effect for Fontana Nissan and their $1000 below MSRP offer for a Leaf, is all of the free advertising their dealership is getting in articles and on all the EV blogs today. Some of the articles are pointing back to this MyNissanLeaf discussion forum. The news spread like wildfire over the Internet. It was especially positive news coming on the heals of the GM dealerships announcements that are attempting to fetch an additional $20,000 above MSRP for a Volt which, as you might imagine, POed their most vocal supporters. If the Volt flops I believe you'll be able to trace it back to the precision in how Nissan launched the Leaf versus how GM botched the launch of the Volt.

I will offer this as a word of advice for any dealer.....this kind of positive buzz can turn to the negative in a heartbeat. This is without a doubt the most influential of the Leaf forums currently out there, with members that active (and vocal) in many other Leaf, EV, renewable tech, and automotive venues. I would strongly suggest you treat any member of this forum properly throughout the entire purchase process.

to mwalsh: not to take away fom your point, but I think thats how your supposed to treat all customers Leaf or not. My attitude is all your trying to do is spend 20 or 30 thousand dollars, why make that any more difficult than it already is? But do me a favor, keep this a secret, the other dealers haven't figured it out yet

But D, CA's doc fee is only $45! Why is ours so much higher? And a couple CA dealers are offering BELOW MSRP, so how can people not want to buy from them? I feel for all the other dealers that are just offering MSRP and high doc fees, because most EVERYONE is going to buy or lease from these two!

I totally agree. The less gas guzzlers the better. My point is the simple reality. People are still buying all sorts of cars and dealers have to carry them. I am a banker and we floor many dealers in the area. This is where my info comes from.
Regardless of what I am buying, just like anybody else, I want the best deal possible. I will drive 10 -15 miles to save a $1000. I just do not see the point of driving 90-100 miles+ (each way) or paying shipping. What if it shows up with a nice scratch?? Developing a relationship with a reputable dealer is worth something.
I guess the fact that there are 7 Nissan dealers within 15-20 miles from where I live makes it easier.

Welcome to the forum.
But, your post doesn't answer the main question. Do you promise to sell for no more than MSRP ?

it is interesting that you would post this on a forum that is heated up with what dealers are offering and still not mention any pricing!!! a bit evasive?? I like the dealer rater though
Deezelpower said:
Also worth using Google Maps to check on any dealer - many have reviews associated with their mapping.
Oh, and don't assume a dealer has agreed to MSRP (or better!) if they aren't officially listed in post one of this thread.

Why drive the distance? I'm going to so I can save OVER 1300 bucks! Call me crazy, but that will lower my lease payments a LOT!
I'm going to be surprised if a LOT of people don't take this offer, and like I said earlier, I do feel for those dealers not wanting to lower their prices because they will have very few sales.

I am trying to scroll through these last few pages to see if any dealership has matched Fontana's deal which seems to stand now at $1000 off MSRP, no add ons unless requested by buyer, and free shipping up to 200 miles. Has any other dealer matched this yet?
Kataphn said:
Not yet.
I don't think the discounting is over yet. If the Fontana offer gathers up a lot of orders and some dealers find themselves with few or no orders you may see $1200 or $1300 off of MSRP. Now that likely won't include free shipping.Kataphn said:

The 'free' shipping wasn't 200 miles from Fontana, but from mossy in San Diego. I was hoping Fontana would match that though.

LOL, ya, I just read that! Wow! This is getting better and better.
Can anyone figure my approximate lease payment on an SL if I get $1K off MSRP and $300 off the doc fee? I may be mistaken, but I figured it would be around $340 +$32 = $372 (9.3% tax) for the SL...at least $415 without the discounts.

Better check with them first that the $1K off is for both lease & buy.
