Not sure if ok to post these here or not. Last night, I sold my E-Golf back to the dealer I leased it from, and now I want to see if anyone here in the bay area wants to buy my OEM All Weather Floor mats or the OEM Sun Shade Window Blinds. Both sets are in like new condition as they barely got...

I leased a Bolt in November and have slowly grown to love it. The EV's I've leased include the Honda Fit EV, the RAV4 EV, the E-golf, and now the Bolt. I have had a Model 3 reserved since day 1, and finally rented one on Turo a few weeks ago and realized it is not the car I had built it up to...

I actually hadn't experience noticeable degradation. I drive the same number of miles to work and back every single day and I check the SOC with car-net every time I get home and every time I get to work. When I drive 35 miles home after charging to 100% and keep my speed on the highway at...

I have a white 2015 SEL with 31,200 miles. White with the black leatherette interior. I leased a Bolt a few months ago and have stopped driving the E-Golf. I have 10 payments remaining on my lease, and my total payoff as of today is $15.7k ($13.4k residual + 10 payments of $230). I've been...

My charge port failed in December 2016, which was just shy of 12 months into my lease on a 2015 SEL. Had the same repairs done as described by the OP. It took several weeks, but I was lucky given a loaner vehicle. The funny thing is that I showed them the details other people here and on...

I'm in the bay area and I got my SEL in January for almost exact same price. $0 down, 35 payments of $236 which includes the sales tax. I also got the $2500 a few months later. Mine was also 12k miles per year. At the time I believe the SE's were even cheaper, but I couldn't deal with that slow...

I preordered 2 just for the hell of it at the Tesla showroom in Corte Madera, CA around noon on March 31. Took over 2 hours for the line to die down. There must have been 500 people in line when I showed up at 10am. Never seen anything like it. Line snaked through the mall and around to the...

Correct, dealerships handle it differently. Some even order the decals as soon as they have a VIN and you get the stickers when you pick up the car, others will file the paperwork and pay the fee, then there are dealerships like mine that didn't do anything related to the HOV stickers, other...

I leased my car on December 31 and had to wait for the DMV paperwork to be filed by the dealership so I could get my plate numbers. I didn't get the plate numbers until January 18th, and that same day I mailed off the HOV sticker application and the $8 check. The DMV cashed my check on...

I work for an insurance company, and can tell you that unless car colors were evenly distributed across the population, then that is a completely meaningless statistic.

Sure, if you buy out the lease, there's always sale tax due to DMV, right? But the sales tax on all the incentives and cap cost reduction was already built into my monthly payment.

Well, I don't think I actually paid a premium for mine. It was actually cheaper than the 2016 SE deals I was seeing around here at the time. With that said however, I would never lease a base SE because of the slow level 2 charging capability. Same reason I would never lease a Volt or Spark...

Keep in mind it was a 2015 SEL, not a 2016. I leased from Hilltop VW in Richmond, CA on Dec 31. They had 3 2015 SEL's in inventory when I leased mine, yet they only showed 1 in stock at the time. I still think it was a fairly good deal considering I've just made my first actual payment of...

Funny, you got me. It is indeed leatherette. Was just trying to point out the difference between the SEL and SE trims. And I wasn't offended about the poor guy not asking, I just hoped that people would use this forum to be informed when making a purchase or when leasing. I'm just sorry he...

That sounds like a terrible deal. Does your $160/mo include sales tax or not? If you knew about this forum, why didn't you ask here BEFORE leasing? There are plenty of great threads on here that would have helped you realize you shouldn't ever put that much money down on a lease (if you get...

Thanks for that post. That should help alot of people that are looking to lease. Since you seem to actually know what you're talking about, I was hoping you might be able to answer something for me. I took the lease deal on the 2015 SEL last week because it was $0 down (sign and drive...

Are any new owners having issues with car-net? I called and set up my account 5 days ago, I've registered and I can log into my car-net account. However, nothing works. On the web portal, after loggin into: https://carnet.vw.com/ , whenever I try to click on "Battery" it takes me to blank...

Thank Christ, that made me sick to my stomach reading that the 2016 SEL's were going that cheap. The only reason I leased my 2015 SEL last week was because the incentives on the lease added up to $17,700 (which included the pass through of the $7500 federal tax credit) plus the CA $2500 rebate...

I just leased a 2015 SEL on Dec 31st at Hilltop VW in Richmond, (sf bay area) . $260/mo with nothing down (sign and drive). They had two more silver ones on the lot too.

Miimura, nice to see you on here, I remember you from the myrav4ev forum. You're the guy that built the solar spreadsheet, right? I used it to come up with an annual NEM calculator based on my historical usage and estimated future usage, and incorporated PVWatts data to determine how big a PV...
