One last thing, I'm concerned you may not drive enough to make the 12k a year. It requires you to average 33 miles a day based on a 7 day week. PushPak's chart shows you a price per mile analysis. If you only plan on 10k year, you should find a cheaper corresponding lease. People who don't use their miles essentially pay too much for their lease. Never go over, either. Also, you can always turn it in a month or 2 early if you hit your miles.

I've never heard of anyone getting a lease for less than 12K miles, at least here in AZ. Maybe they have them in CA, but I've yet to see one person say they were able to obtain one.[/quote]

Not common anymore. When I was a new car sales manager 25 years ago, our most common leases were 10k and 12k a year. I only recall business leases at 15k. Now almost all leases seem to be 12k and 15k. I've only seen 10k proposed twice on any Nissan thread. But I believe from my experience of leasing 4 cars over the years that Nissan is very flexible. When I leased my 2012 Leaf SL last October, the dealer wanted me to do the Nissan 39 month lease, which I declined and countered with 36 months (the warranty term). They agreed. Then they tried to hit me with the $395 dispo fee in the finance office which they claimed was non-negotiable. I refused until they took $11 a month off the monthly lease price to compensate. Another local dealer did the same for PushPak last week. And Kumar's friend in TX got it waived. So much for non-negotiable!
I believe a dealer would be happy to lease Carolle a car at 10k miles a year for 2 years, though probably for pretty much the same price as 12k! We are fortunate that our Nissan dealers within a 35 mile radius have 300 Leafs in stock, and they are dealing. Things haven't change much in the last 25 yrs.- same old horse trading business. If they can make money on a deal, they'll find a way to make it happen.
