Just leased #3537 yesterday. Auburn must have traded it to Hanlees in Richmond. We plan to turn in our leased 2013 Leaf early. I just couldn't pass up a chance to replace the Leaf with a 2nd Rav4EV before they were completely gone. The new one is significantly cheaper than the first Rav4EV we leased 14 months ago. A bigger discount off of MSRP, bigger rebate from Toyota and no bank fee on the lease means the monthly payment after sales tax is $127 less than our old one and the residual is $498 less even with the "premium" for white. Gotta love Toyota for giving us a "Baby Tesla" ......It's a shame they never marketed it properly. Most people have never heard of the Rav4EV and even if they have, do not realize it has a Tesla drive train.
Walnut Creek and Palo Alto have quite a few left but want full MSRP for them, but Hanlee's was great to deal with. Only issue is that for some reason Auburn put on ugly door and fender edge moldings that stick out and will probably increase drag. I will be removing them. Also when I parked the new one side by side with our 2013 I noticed it sits about 1 and a half to 2 inches higher. I wonder if Toyota has adjusted the suspension, or if it just needs time to settle in?
