    Any luck lowering the end of lease purchase price?

    As baseline for your negotiation, you can use KBB value

    Expiring Lease; Now What?

    GlennD, I know your problem, I am looking for cars with high seats too. From this viewpoint, Hyundai Kona Electric might look interesting but it won't be purchasable till 2019 (at least in WA). Did you try Bolt (seats)?

    Expiring Lease; Now What?

    I was told (by dealership salesperson) that new b250s must be sold before April 1. Resale value is concern to me but I don't think it's 0. Average KBB price for my car is ~18.5K and buy-out ~20.5K.

    Expiring Lease; Now What?

    Other Electrics Available Now

    Main question for me: what EVs I could drive without regret about B250, without losing much of MB fun and comfort? Alas, currently - almost nothing for affordable price. Maybe - Bolt Premier (I was able to sit in LT, seats are not good...) Kia SOUL is lethargic compare to B250 sport mode Ford...

    B Service

    Interesting observation. I had B service last week and yes, there are some increase in range. But I relate it to warmer weather in Seattle. Also, it could be tire rotation :) Currently - full charge (not extended) - 99 miles.

    Motor whining, needs replacement

    High pitched noise (whining?) was since beginning (almost 2 years). A lot of quieter than ICEngine noise and only noticeable over 50% power or on low speed and quiet road. I never worries about it - seems to me as "natural" sound of electric motor. Nothing else (like acceleration) was affected...
