Just from a parts value it's probably worth $2000-$3000, but you'd have
to find the right buyer. I parted out the salvage EV (with damage to
front & back ends) I bought to harvest my battery pack out of, and got
around that much overall, after 8 months of labor selling parts on ebay
/ craigslist. [Definitely not worth a junkyards time to put all that
effort into it...]

even a DIY mechanic is looking at 3,000+2,500 + labor..... and has to

probably have similar range.
From Beth's previous post on this car, we know that the car won't power up.
The dealer says the battery has at least one failed cell. We don't know how
accurate that evaluation is.
Edmund's estimates the private sale value of a 2012 Leaf SV with 60k miles
in average condition as $4,509. An SL would be worth $263 more.
Assuming Beth's car's rust isn't structural and that the battery failure is
the only mechanical problem, taking Jay's $2,500 number for a used battery,
and allowing $500 for repair labor, we get a value of about $1,500.
Seems awfully low.
I don't know how much the recent repairs would add to that. They're normal
maintenance on a 60k car, not improvements. Stilll, you'd think they'd be
worth something, if only the tires. Maybe a couple hundred?
So depending on model (SV or SL), and how much the buyer values the recent
repairs, I get an approximate value range of $1,500 to $2,000. Still seems
on the low side.
But again, I'm not a pro. And one non-running, won't-power-up Leaf did go
for $2650 on Ebay. So maybe that's the benchmark.
And that's a possible plan - put it on Ebay at $3k, with best-offer ticked,
and see what you get. A 12-photo listing there will cost $25.

One of the problems with modern society is that it places
more importance on things that have a price than on things
that have a value.
