OK, it looks like they are indeed going to declare the LEAF a total loss. Blue book quotes a trade-in value of $26,597 for a 2013 LEAF SL with 5000 miles in very good condition. I consider that to be a little optimistic since I could get a new one for less than that (after the $7500 federal...

Thanks for the info on salvage values, Klayfish. And to BoulderLeaf: The accident was actually last week. Corner of McCaslin and Marshall Rd just off US 36 at the Louisville exit. It is a popular place for accidents!. There is a design flaw in the traffic flow pattern (which I have only...

Yes, I suppose that would make more sense...

Thanks for all the information. To (partially) corroborate dm33's experience, I am very happy with the safety performance of the leaf. I got T-boned by a Maxima that was going about 35 mph (on passenger side, with no passenger present). The front end of the nissan crumpled in nicely. There...

Thanks for the quick response, Tony. I just got the estimate today, and will talk to the adjuster tomorrow. Hopefully you're right.

Crashed my 2013 SL :( Leased the car around June 1 and it has about 5000 miles on it. The body shop came back with an estimate of $18,600 for repairs, but notes that there may be additional damage once they get into it. I think this can't possibly be worth repairing, but I don't know how it...

Got to see the turtle today on my 2013 SL! Low battery was at 18% capacity, very low battery at 8% capacity. 11 miles from VLB to turtle (driving very slowly back and forth near my house for the last 5 miles or so!). My impression is that I probably got about as far on the 8% of capacity from...

Thanks Ron. That means that on, say, a $7000 lease deal, there might be about $2000 in taxes and registration fees? Subtract off financing and related charges and Nissan is lucky if they recognize much over $4000 in revenue for the car. Nissan has got to be taking a bath on these. Ouch...

Oh, wanted to report one additional data point. My lease agreement reports (in Section 9) that taxes and other official and license fees etc are $1430.53. This is for Colorado. I wonder how it compares to other states??? (I don't have any idea what this figure actually includes...). Hope...

Just got my new LEAF!! Thanks to everyone here for the great information. Not a lot of data here for people looking to lease in Colorado, so I will detail my experiences. But first of all a quick spoiler: had a super positive experience working with Ehrlich Nissan in Greeley. Worked with...
