So I got an older leaf (2012 SL) that I am considering getting a "new" battery pack. But $5499 from Nissan is way too expensive. Seems like the most cost effective way is to get a battery pack from salvage leafs. I don't have the tools to DIY, so it has to be done by a shop/dealer for sure. But I am not sure how the logistic go. In my mind:
1. Buy the whole salvage leaf (or can I just get the pack?)
2. Ship the whole thing to...my place or the shop? (but I need to drop the salvage pack)
3. Drive my leaf to the shop
4. Let the shop do the swap
5. Then what do I do with the salvage leaf without the pack?
Anyone has any idea or experience with the process?
