Hi All,
I'm a newbie in the market for a used Leaf. Thanks for all of the great information on the forum!
I'm considering a few different 2015 S models with quick charge that have less than 10,000 miles. My question is whether I'll regret not purchasing an SV or SL at some point in the future, which isn't in the budget right now. If not a base S model, I don't think I could afford an SV or SL newer that 2012 or 2013.
I live in Minnesota, where we see both very hot and cold weather. For that reason, the idea of the hybrid heat pump is appealing for winter driving. That being said, this car would be my family's second and used almost exclusively for my daily commute of just 20 miles roundtrip, so I'm not real concerned about range. My garage is uninsulated and unheated, so it can be both very cold (0 degrees) or very hot (100 degrees). The "lizard battery" of 2015 may take care of the heat issue? My employer also plans to add Level 2 charging stations in the near future.
I don't care about the navigation or premium stereo. I'm most concerned about battery life and value. Given my modest needs, does the S fit the bill? I'm excited to join the ranks of Leaf owners and want to make sure it's a positive experience.
Thanks in advance!
