Just closed a 36 mo / 12k lease on Nissan Ariya Empower+
I am ok with the outcome. If anyone has feedback, it would be super helpful for future leases.
Thank you to all the forum members for sharing valuable insights. I felt a lot more informed compared when i started looking for leases.
Gratitude!!
My feedback would have been to find a trim with better residual/incentive or another brand which does not entail paying 500/mo for an EV but glad you are happy with the vehicle!
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback. I will keep this in mind for my next lease in about an year.
What should I target for RV for a 36 month lease for an EV? This was pretty low, at 53%…for 24month it was around 64%
I was trying to keep it between $350 and $450 effective monthly cost. I was keen on ioniq 5 limited first, but wasn’t really getting any deals in nor cal. I kinda settled for Nissan Ariya, because the car was overall ok and I needed to close by mid August.
If i kept my lease term to be 24 months and 10K, i was getting bettet deals…but wanted to be set for 3 years.
Yea I get that. For some finding leases is a headache, so worth it with 36 months. Most EV leases I have seen lately have been 24 months so if you NEED 36 kinda self-limiting options. For comparison sake, I think when I leased my blazer ev residual was like 81%? Granted there wasn’t 10k incentive but still…
Why you need such a long commitment for EV car? My friend leased a car 18 months ago for 18 months lease with $360/m, and he was crying why he couldn’t get this payment for 3 years. A month ago he switched to Ariya for another 18 months with $90/m payment. I do not need to comment that. LOL
Thanks for sharing. 10% off isn’t bad for a 2024. But 36 months definitely isn’t the sweet spot for Ariya this month.
What was the breakdown for the $10k in rebates? $7,500 lease cash + $2,000 select summer bonus + $500 college grad/military?
They didn’t list the breakdown of the rebates that way. Probably because my entire negotiation was around $0 DAS and ~$470-$500 monthly payment (including tax) for 36 mo / 12K annual miles.
Good point about splitting this up into two 18 month lease. I wasn’t thinking like a true leasehackr lol. But I know I will most likely be in the market in for another lease in an year+ time.
How do you like your Blazer EV?
Yea, the 36 month is a self limiting. The way I approached was as follows:
Optimized for $0 DAS on all.
Then figured out my effective monthly cost on all. The 36 mo was somewhat in the same range for 12K mile lease. I do need 12K miles (10K wasn’t going to work out).
With my simplistic calculation + a need to have a longer term vehicle, I ended up with this.
But I would be thrilled to get an RV of 81% any day 
You could have gotten BMW i4 at this monthly with some hard work.
True. Would have loved it. Was looking for an SUV though for cargo space
