Aloha from Maui!
I am considering leasing a 2013 or 2014 Leaf. (Would love to hear opinions on whether one or the other is preferable, but that is not my main question).
I have spent the past few hours reading posts and have seen many deals that people wound up with, but none mentioned a trade-in. Most of the deals people are reporting talk about $0 down or up to $3000 down. I have a 2006 TDI New Beetle with 70k miles in good condition that Kelly Blue book says I should get between $7-8K for. (This car would be well sought after on Maui as there aren't many manual transmission bio-diesel cars available).
Main question: How can I expect this to affect the negotiation? Can I negotiate really low monthly payments? I'm not really concerned about having a low residual, so that could help too, right?
Ignorant question: I still owe about $2500 on the VW. What is the process for this? Does the dealership pay off the bank?
Thanks in advance for any help. This is going to be my first time leasing.
