The Nissan dealership closest to me has their first LEAF. They have it parked up front right in the middle of the showroom. It looks exactly like mine except for the Sunroof.
When I bought mine I was 4 days without a car. I needed the best I could find on the spot in my area. I called 4 dealers and all I found was one 2013 and one 2011. The 2011 was $21,000 with only 11,883 miles. But the interior was dirty. Stained. Didn't really want other people's dirt. I wanted brand new.
I really wanted black on black with leather and 17" wheels
Mine is Brillant Silver with Leather and 17" wheels. The only option that is missing is the upgraded Bose and 4-way camera. (The dealer had no idea that option existed, in the past they ordered an SL and got the backup camera but with the 2013 you don't get a backup camera unless you buy the Bose updgrade)
For me I really like the silver over the black now. I like it because the lights blend in with the silver color. On the black the lights really stand out because they are all clear plastic.
The lack of the stereo upgrade bothers me a little. All my past cars had very loud stereos. I'm an audiophile. If you search google images for Lasareath you'll see what I mean.
I need to research upgrading the speakers and sub.
Well the main speakers are ok. They don't handle the bass that well though. I think if I add a sub and turn down the bass on all the stock speakers it may sound much better. I'll have to experiment.
I wish you guys good luck in gettin your LEAFs ASAP because they are fun as hell to drive. I LOVE mine!!!
I just couldn't wait 6 months for a car. Needed one ASAP.
