I owned a 2016 Leaf for 7.5 years before Nissan bought it back under the state's lemon law for a failed battery. We received a check for more than we purchased the car for, so I am in no way unhappy with the Leaf or Nissan. Other than a flaccid battery, the Leaf was stone-cold reliable and a great daily driver.
I am looking at a 2020 Leaf SV Plus with about 4,000 miles on it. It lived in Nevada before coming up for sale where I live. The Carfax report has the the normal stuff, but at about 3,000 miles the battery and "computer module" were replaced. The price is about $6,000 less than comparable 2021 and 2022 SV Plus vehicles. Part of me says "all the expensive bits have been replace, what can go wrong?", while another part of me says "run". It also seems weird that a three year old car would only have 4,000 miles on it. At a minimum, I could run LeafSpy on the battery and see if there are any problems.
Let me know what your gut reaction is to this incredible buy / lemon in the making. Thanks
