2022 Nissan Leaf S Plus or SV Plus Deal

Ask the Hackrs
1

Located in NorCal and just got out of the military. Not much money and looking for a deal. I don’t mind getting something out of state and trucking it over.

Want to know what I should message to dealerships, and what would be a good leasehacking deal for an S Plus or SV Plus Nissan?

I’m open to 18 months or 3 year lease.

Its not about having a good form template to send to dealers, but understanding all the moving pieces. We always recommend the following method before you ever contact a dealership. If you do all of the work up front, you’ll have a stress free dealer experience and set yourself for success.

  1. Read Leasing 101 (EDITORIAL | LEASEHACKR) to understand how to calculate a lease payment and the variables. Monthly payment is an output, not an input!! While you’re at it, be sure to watch the LH video (How to Use Leasehackr - YouTube) to brush up on how to most efficiently use the resources here.
  2. Pick a specific vehicle that you want to target
  3. Gather the current MF, RV and incentives from the LH Calculator - Lease Program Query or Edmunds forums for your zip code
  4. Research the LH marketplace and other deals that have been made recently on your vehicle - what was their pre-incentive discount? How did their lease terms differ?
  5. Plug your numbers into the LH calculator (CALCULATOR | LEASEHACKR), and use a pre-incentive discount similar to what you have seen
  6. Create a target deal, this is what you’re trying to negotiate to. You can try different terms, selling price discount, etc. and see how your monthly payment is affected. It is also possible that different trims of your vehicle may have different MF and RV (i.e. this is very common with GM), so make sure that you look into that. Come up with a set of inputs that give you the output that you want - your desired monthly payment.

With a target price determined, you now have a deal to pursue and compare dealer offers against. More importantly, you have a solid foundation to work from.

One of the biggest things for this car is getting a dealer to agree to MSRP or very close it to. A lot are asking for a market adjustment on top of the MSRP which makes this deal unattractive.

If you look at the LH Marketplace section, you’ll see brokers like @Jeff_BeachCitiesAuto are out of Leafs and won’t get any more.

You may have to move on to another make and model.

Keep in mind that leasing leaves you very vulnerable to pricing increases when your lease ends, as people who leased 3 years ago are finding out now. And not just slight increases, but $200 became $400 and $400 became $800.

From the POV of keeping your payment the same over the next 60 to 84 months, you may want to consider financing something with good resale value like a Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Subaru Impreza or Kia Soul.

Also curious about Nissan’s ‘Buy From Home’ process, which repeatedly says transparent pricing throughout. NMAC wants to do a prelim credit check, as I begin to process on a In Transit unit being delivered to a dealer up north, so I bailed since not really that interested, even SV Plus. We need more serious folks to try this method to see if dealers are complying.

Edit: $2100 Incentive on lease, $2000 CVRP, $750 CCFR, $7500 on the buy

You are aware he’s posted in practically every Leaf thread right?

Seems legit!

It doesn’t need your credit just to see the price. I don’t think the dealers are following the price.

Pricing is transparent but it’s not required for the dealership to follow it. Plus can’t add local incentives

That’s what I suspected, but was perhaps hoping this would be a mechanism to attain the ‘future’ buy@home experience that we are all still waiting for. At least the window dressing for the concept appears convincing so far. It wouldn’t take much for equation to switch.

Sound like they are heading Mars ( not moon LOL) . How to bring Nissan dealers to the earth… LOL

I received an offer for 299 + tax with 2k drive off on a 30k MSRP but they are selling it for 35k. :confused:

14

Hello again friend (if u remember, we were shopping the 5-series together back in 2019 lol.

Anyways, thats not half bad. Every Nissan dealer I’ve talked to is giving >400/m +tax effetive. No point

I agree, if I’m wanting to extend the lease terms over 3 years or 18 months. But if not woulden’t matter.

As for those other vehicles, I agree with you. But no deals to be found on those models, and I’d be paying full price.

Looking for a lease hacker deal, not a regular lease.

I’m open to lease any amazing deal living in NorCal at the moment, but willing to ship the vehicle from any state.

I heard Nissan Leaf from Oklahoma last month, and the Jeep 4xe my family got already from Clutch.

Anything else? Chevy Bolts? etc

Leaf’s deals from last month are dead

I am on the same boat my friend. In Norcal and looking for a lease deal on a leaf/bolt or anything that screams “hacker” deal. Just trying to hack a cheap daily driver but no luck so far. Let me know if you find any.

19

I believe @Jeff_BeachCitiesAuto has some deals. Leaf deals kinda bad compared to prior months, but not bad relative to market. But he does seem to have a nissan murano listed at $299/month

Jeff posted recently that he has no Leaf S or SV PLUS models.
