Have not leased a Nissan Leaf in California yet. Currently leasing one in Europe. As a move to California might possibly come up kind of soon, I'm trying to gather the respective information. And it is indeed not possible to somehow transfer and finish the lease in the US, even if the same...

@tdkbrusco: thank you for mentioning that rebates of $600 or more are considered taxable income in California. @LightningLeaf: thank you for telling about your experience, that the internet sales manager in the dealership helped you regarding the forms for the California EV rebate. And also...

Thank you again everyone for your replies. Good to know one will be indeed able to finance the purchase at the end of the lease, either with NMAC, or with some credit union or other third-party lender. Now another question comes to my mind, just in case anybody happens to know: How is the...

@tkdbrusco: Thank you very much for your responses. And especially for the correction regarding the standard battery warranty. I updated the respective post above. (Somehow I already thought, 8 years/100,000mi was a long time to get a replacement for the battery. ;) And I was aware that...

To answer my own question about the warranty: It turns out, there is an actual Nissan extended warranty, not only third-party warranties. Me personally, I would not choose a third-party warranty, only the one from the manufacturer. There is a old thread here on the forum, from 2011, called...

So in order to answer my own question: There is a page on Nissan's official website about the options at the end of the lease: Nissan USA: End of Lease So this official Nissan website stating that indeed there are three options at the end of the lease makes it appear like it is pretty much...

Thank you everyone for your replies. This seems like an amazing forum, where there are so many replies within such a short time. :) In order for this to be helpful to others in the same situation in the future, I'm going to respond as well and include some of the info I found in the meantime. :)

Thank you very much for this reply. This is the answer to "Questions: Is it always possible to buy the leased vehicle at the end of the lease? With Nissan, does one have a right to this? Or is it completely up to NMAC/dealership, to offer anything, meaning there is no certainty, but one is...

Thank you very much for your response. Regarding "Purchasing only makes sense [if] you plan to keep the car forever", to keep the Leaf "forever" was the idea, that was meant by "long-term". :) Yes, resale value drops. But as the idea is to keep a car "forever", the question is only if to...

Hello everyone. I am aware of the fact, that this is a long post, and there are a lot of questions here. ;) This thread is about the best strategy for keeping a Leaf long-term, when not wanting to pay it outright, and not wanting possible huge surprise repair bills down the road, while...

Hello everyone, I already asked the following question in the Newbies section already, and there were no replies yet, I figured probably because the question was buried deeply in the rental car thread. So I hope it's ok that I post it here again, as it is the "range" subforum - otherwise, dear...

Important addition: Coastal Nissan in Norwell does actually rent out a Nissan Leaf. I'm thrilled about a Nissan dealership offering this service. And the rates are cheap: $34.95/day, and there is a 15% discount for renting 7 days or more. So it ends up $207.95/week, circa $220 including tax...

Thank you for your reply. It is wonderful when as many people as possible take advantage of environmental transportation options, like in this case an electric car offered via RelayRides. The application process is less streamlined and quick for everyone not being a US citizen (it indeed is...

Hello everyone, maybe somebody has an insider tip about this topic: I am visiting the Boston area for 2 weeks soon, and I would like to rent an electric car. Preferably a Nissan Leaf - but it's not that easy. I already saw posts about the Nissan Leaf as a rental car in other states: Any...
