I'm no expert, but at $2400 it ounds like a pretty decent deal, if you have the chops to rebuild or replace the battery yourself. If you have to pay a dealer to do it, ehhhh, I'm not so sure. This brings back memories of the 1980s, and the Citicar and Comuta-car ads I used to see with the same wording. The main difference, other than the fact that the Leaf is a much more comfortable and capable vehicle, is that most C- cars would do about 30 miles with NEW batteries. Usually the used "needs batteries" C-cars would barely move, if that. (The one I bought had a few dead-flat railroad NiCd cells in the battery boxes. It also had non- functioning brakes.) Then as now, "Electric car - needs batteries" often denotes one person who will probably never buy another EV, and another person who is about to buy his first.
