Long time reader, first time poster....
So my 2012 Nissan LEAF SL has it's two year lease up at year end. I've only put about 8500 miles on the car. (I have a short commute but with a lot of traffic. I'm in Texas.) It's rather distressing as I don't really feel the need to buy/lease a new car at this point, and I'd rather not get locked into another 2 year lease in case my situation changes (i.e., I move out of state, get a new job, etc.) Also they are some neat cars coming out in 2015 or are debuting.
I received a flyer in the mail from Nissan about lease turn in....and one of the options (which I had never heard of) was called a "Lease Extension".
I called NMAC to ask them about it. Basically, I'd continue what I was paying now (unless there's a tax change) for up to 12 additional months....BUT I'd only pay "for the months I used". i.e., I could turn it in in March and only pay for the 3 extra months. This seems like a huge feature.
I like the lack of commitment versus a 2 year lease, but is there something I'm missing here? Is there some hideous maintenance I'd need to do in year 3 that I don't know about - thus far I've just done a battery check and tire rotation. This was my first time leasing.
