CarMAX in OC gave me 16k for the car. The other dealers were giving around 12-15k for the trade in. Cerritos Chevrolet offered 20k for the trade in but wouldn't budge much on the price of the car, but Simpson Chevrolet said they'll beat both by giving me a fully loaded Volt and a trade in for...

I traded it in for a Chevy Volt for 21k. The car was exactly 1 1/2 years old with 23,000 miles.

Sad to say that I had to part with my LEAF and now I have some accessories I would like to sell from it. 1) Nissan Cargo Trunk Organizer - $100. Cheapest I've seen is $170 on eBay. 2) Custom Car Cover with LEAF logo - $75. BRAND NEW. I thought I was going to park my LEAF outside but never...

Thank you for all the good suggestions. I have much more documentation on this and I've been keeping a small spreadsheet on how much I've driving and also the amount of energy usage each time it charges. I haven't been active much since my wife typically drives this car, but now we're...

Yes I will definitely put more information on that. I just started this blog and haven't had time to put up all the information. Thanks

I've been looking on this forum since even before I purchased the vehicle back in April 2011. I just haven't been very active since my car was running perfectly. As for the blog, this is a new blog that I'm putting up, but this problem started at least 3-4 months back. I've began by...

Hi, after many attempts to have Nissan figure out the issues with my LEAF and their reluctance to do anything to solve it, I've decided to start a blog to record findings and keep track of daily drives with my 2011 Nissan Leaf. I've had this vehicle for about 18 months with almost 23,000 miles...

I saw on the Japanese site that some guy put in the black bodykit on a white leaf. He also put either vinyl or painted parts of his car black also, so it looked ok. But I don't think it would look that good on a blue leaf. IMO. I like the white bodykit on my white leaf.

That's pretty much how much I paid for the kit, but my friend helped me out by bringing it from Japan. I'm thinking as soon as there's more demand for it, Nissan USA should bring it in to the US. However, the price I don't think would be significantly cheaper due to the yen being so strong...

Pics with better lighting:

I looked into that also. The airline that we brought it on has the same fee for a ski bag or a 6 ft box.

Sorry for the late replies guys.. All the parts that were installed, I had my friend in Japan purchase it for me at the Nissan showroom. He had to carry the parts with him when he flew back to the US. But checking the prices to ship the pieces, the most expensive part would be the side skirts...

I wanted to post some pictures of my new Nissan Leaf Body Kit. This was purchased from Nissan Japan. Sorry for the poor quality pics, I snapped it on my iPhone this morning in low light. I'll try to get some better pictures up later. However, this is not the full kit yet. I'm still missing...

I would like to just post an update on what happened. I contacted Nissan Leaf Support and told them about what had happened and how AV was treating my situation. They were able to escalate the situation to a supervisor and then they contacted a supervisor over at AV. Within 2-3 minutes of...

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I'm trying to find some paperwork from AV that I fully paid for this charger but can't find it. The only thing I have is a CC statement showing the charge and the dashboard showing the order statement, no formal receipt. I'm hoping that should be okay for tax...
