That amount, plus the $5803 would be what you paid for the car. Love discounts, but when the mark up is already super high, the discount is not as big of a deal.Drew Kerleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058751122601932529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-56712647915434353422017-02-15T15:05:57.616-08:002017-02-15T15:05:57.616-08:00Well part of the issue we are seeing a lot of is t...Well part of the issue we are seeing a lot of is that residuals are seeing unbelievable cuts to encourage people to buy out there leases. My residual on my 2013 was about $12,150 or so and I was offered a buy out price of $5803 which I thought was too good to be true but now there are people getting bigger (much bigger!) discounts. I know one who got OVER $10,000 off her residual!DaveinOlyWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745403231379474738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-22462563132509678342017-02-15T11:42:56.410-08:002017-02-15T11:42:56.410-08:00I like reading about this lease vs buy stuff, but ...I like reading about this lease vs buy stuff, but my eyes start to cross when all these if this/than that's start to dance around. For me what makes sense is a list of expenses adding up. <br />Initial cost<br />+ monthly payment*number of months<br />+ close out lease fee<br />= new Leaf owner <br /><br />Vs <br />The obvious benefits of monthly payments getting a new Leaf, then another new Leaf after 3-5 years<br /><br />Vs<br />Used Leaf for, say $9k, which equals $250/36 months or $150/60 months (5 years) Drew Kerleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058751122601932529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-3488772097187222642016-10-11T13:17:44.078-07:002016-10-11T13:17:44.078-07:00AND... did you hear the latest? 30 Kwh in 2016 S ...AND... did you hear the latest? 30 Kwh in 2016 S Trim? just released to dealers a few weeks ago?

W...Well have to say I saved the best for last here. With the information available today, I am leaning towards leasing a 2016 SV. The 30 kwh battery is bigger, more reliable and charges faster so it will be very much an upgrade and my guess as to when the T3 will be widely available is only a few months off the end of what will be a 3 year lease so the timing is good. But we still have 2 months of press releases before my decision needs to be made.DaveinOlyWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745403231379474738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-39593071525816332242016-10-11T10:13:59.790-07:002016-10-11T10:13:59.790-07:00David, you have a tough decision here but I would ...David, you have a tough decision here but I would probably opt for #3. This way you can comfortably wait for Leaf II while still getting damage/miles forgiveness as you mentioned when you trade up. Also, as we get closer to December you could still take advantage of one of these 2016 deals should you decide life at 30 KWH would still work.

Now we can choose to think that Nissan is looking out for us and this is their way of insuring no cars sit on the lot for extended periods which plays havoc for the batteries but I think its because their pending announcement at Christmas is going to create a huge drop in the market for existing LEAF models. This tells me something big is coming.DaveinOlyWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745403231379474738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-80040702203623307982016-10-09T09:13:03.318-07:002016-10-09T09:13:03.318-07:00That is some impressive discounting.That is some impressive discounting.John C.
