I live in Washington State and heard that there is also a $7500 tax incentive credit and no sales tax. I make $40k/year and my credit line is above 800. An electric vehicle is ideal for me since I do a lot of city driving (around 40 - 50 miles/day). The Nissan Salesman told me over the phone it is better to do a 2 years lease at 261/month and $650 down for an S model. That way I will automatically get a $7500 tax incentive credit through Nissan and I will have a chance to buy it after the 2 years lease. I am planning on waiting until the 2014 model comes out and do a 2 years lease if what the salesman told me is true. I hope it will be available in June like most other Japanese makes would release their new models. Anyways any advices would be great. Thanks everyone.


Answer
I was just reading a new Nissan Technical publication on the LEAF go on-line "nissanusa.com" read all you can the 2014 all new LEAF is built in the USA now and has many features that are better than the previous version. I do not recommend the base model S with halogen lights and would buy a more optioned car with LED headlights and more cool options. Home charger is a cost and you will want to have one installed. Shop for home chargers from different suppliers call your electrical service provider get the best deal you can. As for lease only do lease if you can deduct car interest payments from your taxes. Buying a LEAF out right may be a better deal on a second generation car.

At year's end, which automobile offers the best gas mileage and the best all around deal?

I see so many advertisements for year-end deals on automobiles, zero-percent financing, cash back, five-star safety ratings, great gas mileage, and so on, and my head is spinning.

If I wanted to buy a small-to-midsize car with excellent gas mileage, good safety rating, and the most attractive financial deal out there, what kind of car should I be looking at?

All opinions are welcome; help me make sense of all these offers, please!



Answer
If you can get in a Toyota prius on the financial terms listed particularly zero percent financing, five star safety ratings and great gas mileage the Prius is the best bet. Everything has its downsides, Prius is not a snow car but it does fine in the winter.
Then Honda's Insight, its a great buy, but its not cute.
The Volkswagen Turbo Diesel powered engine cars.
If you can wait until January 2014 Mazda 6 is a stunner gas or diesel.
The 2012 Mazda3.

My guess is you are asking why. The Prius has been around for a decade, whatever was the problem should be none at this point. On a tank of gas the latest Prius has been known to get 1,200 miles on a tank of gas. Honda's Insight has a part time electric engine strategy, only when the car starts until 20 or 25 mph then the gas engine take over. Reportedly this car can roll somewhere in the neighborhood of 700-800 miles on a tank of gas.
VW Turbodiesel variety in the Passat and Beetle are good for 700 miles on a tank of gas and Diesel engines are notorious for 1 million miles.
The Mazda6 is mechanically a new car from scratch improving every mechanical bit that moves the car, nothing new, just lighter stronger and more capable. The brand calls this approach SkyActiv. Based on the reviews and pictures this is a gorgeous car that will be right up there with Volkswagen's mileage of 700 miles on a tank of gas.
The Mazda 3 is practical 400-540 miles on a tank of gas using the SkyActiv package really good value.

The reason I listed these cars, you have the best chance to get the most out of them while making payments and they have the best chance of reliable service life after the terms of your loan has been completed. The goal with any car buyer should be to pay the car off in order to have a perfectly working car well beyond the monthy payments. The two cars that show the most promise would be Toyota's Prius and Volkswagen's turbo diesel variety. Hopefully this will clear things up a bit.

Enjoy
