I also just got a 2013 Leaf-S, 16K miles for under $10K. I don't understand all this battery talk, the warranty on the battery is 96 months or 100K miles. ; -----Original Message----- From: EV [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lawrence Rhodes via EV Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2016 11:09 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [EVDL] EVLN: No tumbling Leaf EV values
This could not be further from the real truth. You can't get a very good deal on a new Leaf Lease. You can however get a 5 thousand dollar discount on used Leafs or off lease cars.. I bought a 2013 vehicle near pristine for 14k. 18 k would be the price I'd have to pay for my 2012. Minus 5k that is still 13 thousand for a year older with 39k and a degraded battery pack and a 3.3kw charger vs. the 2013 with a 6.6 charger. The 2013 has a better battery pack since it only has 2600 miles on it...yes 2600. No typo. I could have gotten a 22k mile vehicle(2013) for 10k. So adjustments have been made. You will simply pay more for a 2016 with extended range. Much less for a used Leaf. Plus Nissan is committed to a replacement pack for 5500 dollars. A used Leaf 2013 or newer is the best deal. Stay away from 2012 and 2011 models. Seems the battery packs are not as good as 2013 on. Lawrence Rhodes -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
