Although my I-MiEV does not come up for lease turn-in until the end of the year, I am starting my search for its replacement now. I have been looking primarily at 3 cars: 2014 I-MiEV, LEAF and the Volt. The I-MiEV, to no one's surprise(since Mitsubishi already announced the price) has the lowest purchase cost. LEAF and Volt are actually close in price(due to some incentives from GM). My goal is to get the lowest monthly payment with the lowest(preferably zero) up front cost. Has anyone heard any rumors about lease deals on the 2014's? I was able, in Jan 2013, to get a decent rate. From what I have seen, the crazy, low lease days are over. OK, no issue with that, all good things eventually come to an end. However, I'm still looking to stay in an EV and at the best cost to me. Assuming that the $23,000 pre rebate price stays, any guesses on what kind of lease deals we will see? And, when might we see such deals? As a side note, is it common for the finance company to try to retain you as a customer on a follow up lease? Do they offer incentives or is that wishful thinking?
Thanks,
Lou
