You sure your not an Isles fan?

C'mon man, it's a work vehicle. Although I can't bend my knees since I wore my wife's pants by mistake.
I figure charging it mostly at work will save me a decent amount on the electric bill, and I do like the car except that idiot college kids keep trying to commit suicide by Leaf since it is silent and they have their noses stuck in their phones.

I feel like it never makes sense to buy a car after the lease. You'll still have a large portion of the car left to pay off and at this point it's 2-3 years depreciated. Just not worth it.

Yeah, Makes more sense to buy an off lease instead of lease/purchase.
My '03 Tundra was an off lease purchase.

I honestly didn't even know what a Leaf was until I googled it. Nothing wrong with electric cars, just couldn't pass up a chance to break your balls.

How long does a full charge last you?

Yea how does it work, can you just go to any coffee shop and plug in your car when it gets low?

Side note about Tundra's:

I saw a guy driving a Ram once with the most hilariously stupid, racist bumper sticker I've ever seen: "My truck was built with wrenches, not chopsticks"

Little does he know that Dodge builds a ton of their stuff in Mexico and your Tundra was built in the USA

No, you have to only go to coffee shops that sell Free Trade Certified, organically-grown coffee harvested by workers making a living wage with free benefits.

Yea

I can't complain though, put 0 down and am only paying $380 a month for my 2015 Nissan Rogue I got last year. Though 6 years of payments does suck a bit

- TPC

You drive a soccer mom car

Just kidding. Rogue is a solid car but 380 a month for 6 years is a lot. im paying less than you per month and the Infiniti's MSRP is like $46,000.

Had to stop reading when it was mentioned the Leafs may want Nash, cmon why would they do that.
No one is taking that contract. Rangers are in worse cap hell then the Hawks

I would expect nothing less.
Full charge gets you 85-90 miles. There is a guy that charges at our station with a Tesla that gets 300 miles.
Since it is fully electric depends on whether you use heat or AC how much energy is used. The regenerative braking extends the mileage. I crawled down RT 1 for 5 miles one afternoon and didn't use any juice. Pretty cool car.

I think your numbers might be a little off. My gf leases that car and its a lot more then you are thinking.

They usually tell you thats what you can lease it for, but once you get done with everything it is a bit higher then they advertise.

If you have the Navi Sys enabled, it shows where charging stations are, which are usually free. Nissan donated a fast charge unit to us, but we had to pay for the install.
Fast charge will charge to full in about an hour. Trickle charge works overnight.

We're talking about the Nissan Leaf. Didn't know Nash was doing Leaf Ads, much less driving one.

When you do it through a leasing company, the broker that works there is essentially your "lawyer" when you negotiate the lease with the dealership. They know exactly what the dealership pays for each car so they know their break even point. They offer the dealership what they paid plus around $1,000 profit and then take a small profit themselves too. Dealership gets screwed because normally they profit close to $10,000 for a car sale but at the end of the day, $1,000 profit is still profit so they will reluctantly take it. The broker from the leasing company is with you when you sign the paperwork with the sales rep from the dealership to ensure there's no last minute funny business that dealerships are notorious for.

Combine that with the fact that all 2015 Q50s need to be off the lots in 2 days and it's a perfect storm for me to get a steal of a deal.

My last car that I leased was with the same company and it was a Lexus that I paid 0 down and 207 a month for. Whenever they pull my contract up at the dealership when I get it serviced they're shocked that I'm paying so low

Guys....I'm getting married.

Just locked in a 39 month lease on a 2015 Infiniti Q50 AWD Premium with Navigation

- rangerdanger94


I have the same car, scrap the Navigation, its poop and takes forever to load, use your phone, its 1000x better.

Honestly I like having Nav in the car just because it makes the interior look so much nicer

Yeh because you get two screens. I don't ever use it, its such a waste. I use WAZE on my phone. It takes 5 seconds to get your location instead of keying it in on the awkward touch screen.

The resale value on my Jeep is insane and I have a lifetime powertrain warranty. Who cares about the other stuff? It's a Jeep.

you guys had to practically give away Nick Leddy for cap reasons, you guys have 2 players with cap hits over 10 million a year, you guys have Hossa's cap hit over 5 million a year until 2021 and he is 37 years old at this moment

3 cups have been unbelievable, but, c'mon, the Rangers cap situation is nothing compared to the current Hawks cap hell
