With the greatest respect and apologies to those who waited for months before getting a car...
With even greater apology to anyone who is still waiting...
I was able to buy a 2011 Leaf directly "off the lot" today, Saturday October 30 2011. I walked up to a dealership and drove away in the car as quickly as we could do the paperwork. This was at Bankston Nissan of Lewisville TX. I am seeing Leafs turn up on cars.com at dealers all over the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, Houston, Austin, and more.
Not only that, I bought a demo at a below sticker price. In my telephone calling the day or two before I bought the car, I discovered that some dealers are not aware that the allocation days are ending, and they are still attempting to mark up in various ways. Everything from just flat over-sticker to the oldest games in the book, such as "paint and fabric protectorant" and similar scams.
Anyway, it is now becoming possible to buy a Leaf from an "in stock" situation, and negotiate a deal.
Who else has managed to buy "off the lot", no waiting?
