That is a very good deal. Did you get the O down O% financing? Does it have
the 6.6kw charger? Chademo? If you want the battery to last don't too deeply
discharge it. That is get home with 1 mile on the range or accelerate fast.
Don't drive 65 on the freeway too much. I try to keep the energy consumption
to 5miles per kw. That increases range. Learn about the displays. Battery
percentage. Energy use. Etc...It is controlled by the top left of four
buttons above the charge port button. Coast down hill when you can especially
if it increases speed. Not exceeding 2 blue dots gives the best speed and fuel
consumption. 3 dots or 4 to accelerate on to the freeway. My freeway speeds
vary from 45 to 65 mph depending on the terrain. Lawrence Rhodes.....

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.

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
