31st August. Damn, I best try and see if can get it sorted out, hopefully thats the cut off day for requesting it, not actually getting it.

I do have 3 other questions I'm wondering about now with having this

1. When it comes to returning the car, at the end of 2 years, do you have to take it yourself to the particular dealers, eg Nottingham place in the earlier linked site?

2. The option to rent a normal vehicle for up to 14 days, is that only redeemable from the particular garage you bought the car from? so again, would be Nottingham, or can you pick it up from any Nissan dealer.

3. Likewise with question 2, but to do with getting it serviced after the first year

Yes, you are allowed up to 2 chargers per house.

If anyone is looking for an existing model Leaf it looks like you may have to hurry. They aren't building them due to the new model being launched on the 6th so the only ones left are stock models.

I think the 4 day test drive offer runs out on 31st august. It was a bit of a faff getting it set up though, took a good week to organise. No limit to how far you can go but obviously range will limit you more, and access to fast charge points!

Also....does anyone know if you take out a PCH or PCP are you still entitled to claim this deal?

charge.pod-point.com/nis…HAQ

Oh I didn't realise you could do a 4 day test drive. I've just searched and looking through the info on that now.

Is there limits to how many miles allowed to do on the test drive (ie so I could try it for work commute, plus the regular shop trip on the 4 days...(so around 30-50per day ish probably?

I've had one on a 4 day test lately, must say I'm impressed overall, although the 0-60 doesn't look that good on paper they really do go esp between 20 and 50, and they are so smooth and response is instant. It was the 30kw version, with moderate driving it looked like 140 miles plus was quite achievable, did about 55 miles of fast mostly motorway driving at around 70 /75 and range does drop above 60 mph quite considerably though.
Standard charger is the 10amp (2.4kw, so assume about 14 hours for full charge). There's a Lidl near me which has a free fast charger, the LEAF also uses the "chademo" attachment which charges at 50kw, it is very rapid up to about 85% charge then continues to charge at a slower rate as it gets to 100% (though still much quicker than the standard 10amp charger, and free!). It took just under 30 mins to go from 50% to 98%, I disconnected before 100% as someone else turned up to use it. However if battery was empty I imagine charging to 80% should take a similar time ie around 30mins.
Still deciding whether to get one though, if can get a 2 year lease deal that would be perfect.
Bear in mind that the new one is out soon so hoping for some bargains, apparently they are flogging them off for $15k in the USA, however the new Leaf is rumoured to have a 147bhp motor, Vs this one's 108bhp, so it should be considerably more lively, perhaps around 8 sec 0-60 so hot hatch territory?

Thanks.

The Sandicliffe ones look like they're showing "in stock" cars, and showing £145.26 for a 9+23 or £161.22 for a 6+23. I wonder why this site doesn't let post deals from that website you linked to. Hopefully those info put in are accurate, and when actually select to obtain proper quote they don't miraculously change


From what I gather, there's no longer free charging points anymore for the most part, and from what I can tell, looks like a £1 connection fee, plus then the cost to use......still that's more of a rarity at least. Most of my journeys are for work uses, from site to site, but would normally not be more than say 60 per day (but typically around 30ish) . I'll have to check on what power connection options are, but assuming it as able to be plugged into a regular power socket (albeit at the slower overnight charge)

Nice

Yes, road tax would be included even if it was a gas guzzler.

Yes, normally deliver anywhere in U.K. Without any additional charge

Thanks. I think I'm starting to get my head around this, I realised shortly after posting that being a zero emission car gets no road tax

So from what I gather, on a 2 year deal, the 6 + 23 means for the first month my bill is 6x the typical monthly rate(so 1200 if its £200pcm), and then the next 23 months would be £200

I'm just looking at your Sandicliffe nottingham deal....while I live nowhere near there, i'm assuming these sort of deals are delivered to anywhere in UK? Sorry, I'm very much of a car buffoon knowing little, as I've never been a petrol head:)

Everything you say is correct except Tiad Tax, that's included.

I've had my lease car 11 mints and I've already got a scrape on the door I'll have to have repaired before I give it back and last month I had to replace a tyre because it got a screw in it.

Delivery times can vary these lease brokers sometimes have a specific selection of cars that have quick delivery

so only things to pay for seperate to this are

1. personal insurance
2. Road tax
3. Tyres (not normal wear and tear in 2 years of lease, but presumably you have to pay should you get a nail etc)?
4. annual service charge?

How long generally before actually receive the car ordered?

I have an MOT due in 2 months, and car starting to give me some issues, so tricky decisions to make :disappointed:

Most things are covered by manufacturers warranty

an older thread I know....but ok, these don't include insurance. It says don't cover maintenance too? What sort of costs are these? Surely if a new vehicle breaks then thats up to them to fix?

No. Lease deals very, very rarely include insurance. Sometimes dealerships/manufacturers have separate PCP deals that might include insurance

does it include insurance?

For some reason I can't find the deal anymore, but it was definitely from here...

Wow, you're hard.

Can't post this as a deal, but I'm pretty tempted as I can't quite justify a merc c350e.

centralukvehicleleasing.co.uk/Vol…ss/

Golf GTE, cheapest around at the moment.

The top range advance DSG with 1 month down and then 23 payments for 10000 miles is £299 a month.

Hi just in classifieds several deals regularly post deals on there. Linky

Can't seem to find the deal now. It was without a fee and I think Nissan Nottingham so you could contact them direct.

Or check the 2nd comment by me on this deal

Was having a look on that forum. Is there a specific section where they post deals? Pleas could you provide a link, I'll keep an eye out then

Just trying to work out the maths here

So £998.58 - initial payment, this seems to be 6 x months payment upfront for the first month, and you only get 1 month 'credit' for this payment
admin fee of £295+vat, so £354
23 x months at £166.43
Total price £5,180.47
Adding it all up and dividing it by 24 equals £215.85 per month


Does that sound right?

Hi yes it was an official nissan leaflet that came through the door. Have you tried the SpeakEV forum? Usually plenty dealers offering deals in there.

Hello Harry, was this a dealer or Nissan flyer? Looking to purchase a 30kw Tekna but can't seem to find any deals less than £275 at the moment.

Loadsa money!

May I ask what kind of car you currently drive?

Found the dickhead

no one needs an electric if i was you i would rub two brain cells together and think about it im debt free i pay cash for everthing having nearly £5k for a car in cash sounds better than not even owning the car and having to hand it back after 29months. I dont expect you to get it but you cant educate stupid people have a nice day

‌ :thinking: who's described it as nice?
Even if somebody did describe it as nice, it's a subjective opinion rather than a claimed fact that can be in/correct

Quite aware of said process thank you. It still doesn't explain the incorrect description of this car as being "nice"

so by saving up £166 a month for 29 months you'll get the same car?
I mean you were making a comparable suggestion right?

Thanks. Damn, I have to pay more attention as that seems rather good to me. Still, my old jalopy runs well with good mpg so can't justify it

It was a deal from HUKD last September. Wolverhampton Mercedes. £141 a month 9+23

i like the idea of keep your old car and save £166 a month and buy a car for cash in 29 months

You don't get how it works do you?
Firstly, if you're a big manufacturer like Nissan, you don't put all your eggs in one basket by spending an awful lot of money on some great design, to mass produce a car for a market that is limited in uptake. Where assembly lines are set up for mass production, it becomes inefficient and costly to change the run for a handful of vehicles. Tesla is a slightly different segment of the market with it's own proposition.

Secondly, you create a not so great looking base model for the masses but then add a better looking one with halo effect and charge substantially more for it. More than the actual difference in production costs.

Think BMW 3 series and M3 or Audi A6 and RS6.

...ignore me, I just saw your previous post. Shame they are so rare, nice car despite lack of rapid charging. Only second hand ones seem to be in stock now.

Cracking stuff.
I award you the HUKD Moneysaver Hero trophy for putting one over BG

Hi. I have only used it once. It was a free install 3.3 kw charger. I charge mine in work and only use the car sporadically at weekends. We have another car for journeys over 100 miles

Yes, as for me having a decent looking car is important (but I know it isn't for some), much the same as wearing decent clothes vs tatty ones etc....and I agree the juke is in the same category!

Are you really *that* concerned about what it looks like?! Not sure that's the priority for a lot of people. IMO It's inoffensive, unlike say, the Juke LOL :fearful:

I am amazed some people can describe this as a "nice car" it is, imo, awful looking and I would genuinely need to be paid to drive this and even then I would still be wishing I could take the train or bus which I find annoying to bad at the best of times. I mean surely they can design better looking affordable green energy cars?!

Out of interest what home charger are you using and does the Solar PV charge the vehicle?
I read somewhere of you want to make use of the Solar PV to charge the vehicle during the day then it needs to be a 16amp home charger. The faster 32amps won't make use of PV

Have had a 30 kw tekna for 5 months now. I'm on a £220 a month deal. With a saving of over £100 a month on fuel and solar PV fit payments the car costs me nothing. Looking FWD to the new model in 2019 :thumbsup:

I'd love to get an electric car (at the moment I have a Lexus CT hybrid - which is great), but living in an apartment block with underground parking means no access to charging :disappointed:

Looks to be a good deal and I'd be very tempted if I could!

I got the 30Kw Tekna from the deals posted in Feb. Try and find one with 30kw/h battery even if it is a bit more money.

British gas offer for having a smart meter isnt it?

£125.84 FOR 2 YEARS ON A 30KW LEAF ACENTA, NO DEPOSIT. Canterbury Nissan and now 15 months in and no regrets. Range is 80 miles at best don't believe the bullshine!

Not a good deal. I got a 30kw Tekna on a 10,000 mile/year 2 year PCP for £200/month with £500 down. Free charger installation too.
Have a look on speakev forum there are usually deals on there.

Great car BTW

This seems a pretty standard price now the higher kw batteries are available.

Decent - but I pay less for a B250e Mercedes with a slightly longer range (albeit no rapid charge) and it's really great quality and fast as hell!

£166 a month = to more debt for idiots

There's a new leaf being released next month with a 40kwh battery, so keep that in mind if you want a new car.

I bought my leaf on PCP in April. It was 18 months old and costs me the same a month so this is a fair deal, but prices will fall more soon

A growing niche of a niche!

Good deal, but hybrids are the way to go just now.
Hopefully the price on those will drop.

The deal I've linked to is via What Car for a 6 +23 payment profile, doing 8k/miles a year. The deal is offered by Lookers Nissan

There is a cheaper alternative but unfortunately it appears I can't link a deal to it (banned?)

Alternative (cheaper) deal, on same contract terms is via Sandicliffe, here.
They charge a fee but payments are less and totals £4762 so about £55 less overall. Maybe get a dealer to match payments and wave fee making it even better?
