Hey all,
I am relatively new here and not proficient in figuring out offer amounts for one-pay leases. Could anyone let me know what a good starting negotiating offer would be for a 24-month one-pay lease for a 2025 Nissan LEAF SV Plus with an excellent credit score (800+) and minimal miles per year needed (even 5000 would be fine)? Or if anyone did a one-pay lease on this model (anytime over the last couple years), could you share your lease amount? Much thanks!
A good starting point for me would be to look at a 24 month/7.5k lease policy currently offered by some of our brokers here. Then look at that rent charge component or Mf rate. There will be a reduction to the MF rate if do a one pay policy. Talk to your dealers on that component alone leaving everything else untouched.
Respectfully, it’s unlikely that you’ll find someone here who’s willing to do all of the legwork for you.
It also isn’t possible to construct a reference deal without an MSRP and your location, the latter of which drives tax rate, the way taxes are applied to the transaction, the cost of first year registration, etc., and for some manufacturers (not sure about Nissan) the incentives can even be regional.
Responding with your tax rate or state is unlikely to get you much further, but if you gather everything required to populate the LH calculator and post a link, even if everything isn’t right, you’re likely to get some help.
If you need help finding some of the inputs, ask and you’ll likely also get assistance.
Head to the Leaf mega thread. Do some reading and learning there.
This has zero bearing on what lease programs are available now, this month. Rebates, incentives, rates are all highly variable which means even last month’s may mean little at the end of the day.
+1 to what @trism recommended. Good luck in the hunt
Wait there’s a leaf mega thread? I was about to say I wonder if the Leaf is a good value given the lack of discussion here
You are right. I got confused by the Ariya mega thread 
Does it have to be a Leaf? @EVleaser2
Very little discussion here, let alone signed deal benchmarks, not a good sign during arguably the biggest EV leasing bonanza of all time
The 2025 Leaf is discontinued
It’s only 200 mile range
The 2026 which is due by Xmas is 300 miles.
So you might want to ask for some aggressive discounts if you want a 200 mile car.
Yeah, for now just focused on the LEAF SV Plus @max_g
@forbs Where did you read that the 2026 is due by Xmas? I had only read that it will be out some time this fall.
Hoping the additional information below can help someone give me an idea of a rough estimate of a good starting offer amount to negotiate a one-pay lease.
The dealer’s advertised MSRP and discounts for the car are:
MSRP: $38,335
Savings: – $10,220
PRIORITY PRICE: $28,115
The car would be registered in Virginia; the sales tax would be 4.15%
Much thanks!
You just need residual value and money factor. Put all that in the calculator and you will see the one-pay amount.
This is advertising bait and switch.
There is no 7500 for the Nissan Leaf, it’s only 5780 in virginia
I also don’t see the Conquest rebate
The 10,000 listed above is probably including the rebates
As this car’s RV is in the 17,000s that’s a lot of payment.
Hmm… I know many of the Hyundai Ioniq cars in Virginia have between 13K and 15K off of the MSRP in rebates from the dealer for leases, which always includes the $7500 rebate; wouldn’t that be in the same range as the $7500 plus $5780 advertised here? Where did you read or hear that there is no $7500 for the Leaf in Virginia?
Thanks so much; could you give me an idea of what the money factor would be for a 800+ credit score and approximately what the residual value would be after 24 months of driving the car less than 5000 miles a year?
I have no idea. You can ask on Edmunds that’s why I posted the link.
Oh, sorry, I totally missed that box. (I guess I had assumed it was an ad box put there by the website – like on some other forums – and just ignored it.) Thanks; I will check it out.
How much Hyundai gives in incentives has absolutely no bearing on how much Nissan gives.
As is always the case, you need to work out indepedently from anything a dealer posts what the applicable incentives are for your stiuation and determine a pre-incentive discount target by researching comparable deals.
Stop looking at dealer advertisements. They’re irrelevant
How would I know what the applicable incentives are besides the obvious small ones (military, recent grad, etc.)? I can see the big-amount incentives that dealers offer for various cars and then only certain VIN numbers of the same model but don’t know where to see those incentives independently of what dealers are advertising. Seems to be great variability in those incentives. Could you please let me know why you believe that the $7500 incentive posted by that dealer for the Nissan Leaf was incorrect?
