Hello all!

[jelloslug]

I just picked up a new model "S" with one of those smokin' lease deals. I managed to get a model S (no options) for $199.05 a month $0 down for 24 months. I have wanted a pure electric for years now and the current lease offers are a no brainer.

Congratulations! I've been waiting 7 weeks for my S to arrive, and it's going to be another week at least But I'll be very happy when it arrives. $2K down, $175/mth 2 year lease for me.

Welcome! Are you the same person as on Priuschat who bought a "project" (damaged) Prius and fixed it with help from your wife?

I never bothered to do anything "special" with our '08 Prius. I don't drive it much as it's my wife's car but other than not driving like an idiot we have averaged close to 46 MPG over the 100k we have put on it so far. The Leaf is mine and I'm in the upper 4s so far on my economy again with nothing special other than using the blower with outside air rather than the AC when the temp outside is nice.

Benson Nissan in Spartanburg, SC. I had no haggling and they even suggested the 24 month lease as a way to bring the cost down. I had not even considered a shorter term as that usually is more expensive.
