Yes, 2011. There aren't 2012s yet.

wow! my local Mossy Nissan (Mossy KM i.e. mossyleaf) is selling for MSRP but I had to buy at another Mossy Nissan for $1000 less than MSRP. In fact, several dealers in California are selling for less than MSRP now. I saw on this forum that one San Jose dealer was $1250 less then MSRP for a 2012 orphan. Just this afternoon, Fontana Nissan (not far from San Diego), had two 2012 orphans for $1000 less than MSRP. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5018&start=10#p151979" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;TonyWilliams said:My local Mossy Nissan (not Leon's) has a $5000 markup on MSRP on their orphan in the showroom floor, as of Tuesday.
I suppose some prefer 2012 and others prefer 2011 depending on whether they need the CW package but which ever angle you take it, $1000 off MSRP is better than MSRP. Personally, I like the deal that I got better: a 2011 SL-e orphan for $33,570 (MSRP - $1000 + $365 on extras that I wanted). So I think it's great that you have 10+ LEAFs available at an OK price but I certainly wouldn't be stoked by MSRP pricing this late in the LEAF rollout.mossyleaf said:Thanks for keeping track! So what's a better deal? A 2012 for a thousand off or a 2011 for MSRP? I just sold someone an SL-e for 34770. They were soo stoked!

Actually, I bought my orphan 1 month after the pricing of the 2012 was announced. I understand that you think MSRP on an orphan is a great opportunity but given the evidence I just don't see it; for example, Fontana currently has orphans for $2000 off MSRP. I mean - I think MSRP pricing is a fair deal for the uninformed but for those of us on this forum there are better deals. Again, your 10+ LEAFs at MSRP is a good source of readily available orphans for those who can't be bothered to look for or don't think that $1000-$2000 off MSRP is worth the effort.mossyleaf said:You are speaking from the perspective of someone who purchased months ago, before the the price increase of the 2012's was even announced....come upon a new 2011 Leaf for 34770, surely you would have to agree that is a great opportunity given the current circumstances.
