I had mentioned this in another thread, but didn't get too much feedback. There is a 2011 Leaf at a dealership that I used to work at with around 52K miles on it. The battery appears to be down to 8 bars - however, I called Nissan with the VIN number and they told me that the car I am looking at is actually warrantied until 5/2019 and/or 100K miles (whichever comes first - this is for the battery pack). He told me it would be no problem bringing it in to get tested to see if it qualifies for the replacement. I had some anxiety over getting one of these, but seeing as how the battery pack has another three years on it and another 48K miles, I'm considering it again (had basically taken Leaf off the list in favor of a Volt). The price seems about right at around $7600 and since I used to work there, I can probably get a better deal on it anyway. This is also the SL model (the loaded one with nav, backup camera, solar panel in spoiler, etc.). I've put less than 20K miles on my current car in the two years since I've owned it, so I'm not too worried about racking up miles on the Leaf. I don't have access to the OBD II thing at the moment, but on the surface, this seems like it would be a decent pick up. One other thing to note - the Nissan guy told me that this is one of the original cars made and that it has the "charging" battery - not sure what that means??
