I have a Leaf, and must say I don't particularly trust my dealership's
advice,
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

What is the warranty situation?
I am in California and the mandatory drivetrain warranty requires the mfg

It would probably cost $2,500 to get a surplus leaf battery, plus labor
to swap the modules over, so even a DIY mec
I've been shocked (no pun intended) at the low prices used Leaves bring.
Beth, I'm not qualified to appraise your car, and I can't even guess what
you might get for it. However, a look at some Leaves sold recently on Ebay
shows 6 examples from 2011 to 2013 that went for between $3000 and $3700
Hello -- I'd like to give everyone an update and restate my initial post
with further detail.
First, thanks to all who responded earlier!
To summarize: on June 1, my previously reliable 2012 Leaf (~60,000 odometer
