I have an opportunity to buy a fully loaded 2013 Leaf SL that has lived its life in Arizona for a great price. It has less than 35K miles and shows 9 bars of capacity left on the battery. The only negative is that the Carfax shows that it was rear-ended about 5 months into the lease, but was still functional. The vehicle cameras all appear to be functional and no visible body damage can be seen at the quarter-panels or weld seems. Do you think Nissan will void the 5yr/60K mile promise for 70% battery capacity if the car was rear-ended? Are there any issues that a rear-ended Leaf would have that I should be considered about?
I should also say that it does not have a salvage title, the airbags did not deploy, and Carfax says there's no structural damage reported.
