Nissan Leaf Deals

[Ej74]

Got a 7 day teat drive coming next week
what do people think of the current deals ?

There's an example on the Nissan website
I cant post a link !

9k from govt and Nissan
4k customer deposit
99 per month for 24 months
GFV 13.4k

Now to me 2 yr leafs are 10k
when I compare this to the Golf R it does seem expensive ? Opinions welcome

I get my thrills on track with the lotus -11

Funny you should rant

I just called the garage to confirm and carry out insurance prior to collection next week - and you've guessed it no record of my booking

All sorted now

No its the one with the paid up battery

Which dealer did you use for the 16k deal ?.

[Ej74]

I did read somewhere that you can sign up to the battery lease at any point in time and batteries will be replaced.

Range wise it seems to average around 80 on a full charge ?.

My drive to the station is literally only a few miles and the odd longer trip here and there (100 miles) so stop off and fast charge time or use my zip car membership (there's a car less than 2 miles away)

The 2-11 just wont fit three people as much as I try :-)

Test drive next week - so i'll see how I get on

I keep getting tempted by a 7 series or the Golf R must resist

[Ej74]

What sort of PCP deal did you get ?
How generous was the trade in ?

I'm not getting any callbacks regarding my interest

So usual case as I need a comparison to show my dealer

[Ej74]

Which forum and who is the dealer ?.
Is this on a flex or a fully owned model ?

So here's my feedback on the Leaf test drive - car was returned early

General impression up to 40 to 50 mph its nippy and in and around the city is useful.

Brakes seem to be on / off at low speeds (may just be me !)

Car rolls quite a lot (kind of feel the weight)

Most importantly - range is a OUTRIGHT LIE

Trip 1 - Central London - 11.2 miles return x 2 (22.4 miles lets call it 30 for arguments sake). We set off with 50 mile range and the car died on my driveway - with last range showing as 18 miles !!!

Trip 2 Central London (16 miles x 2 = 34 miles - arguments sake lets call it 40 miles) set off with a range of 88 miles, returned home with around 22 miles remaining - where did the rest of the range disappear to ?

Based on the range issues I had - maybe a dud car as the dealer alluded to - but for now i'm not on board with the Leaf

It is indeed the affliction of a heavy right foot....

Lets see what Tesla offers up in the near future
