We've already trade in value thread and a long running "Wholesale value of the 2011 Leaf @Auction". Let's post other resale value discussion here. I remember seeing something recently and FINALLY found it again.

I also just found http://insideevs.com/kbb-says-2013-nissan-leaf-resale-value-will-drop-compared-to-2011-and-2012-model/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, not written long ago that points to http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130603/RETAIL04/306039947/experts-used-leaf-prices-expected-to-fall" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.Meanwhile, early Leaf models are now coming to auction, abandoned by rental car companies after customers shunned them in favor of traditional internal-combustion vehicles. Many of those at auction have less than 10,000 miles and carry an average transaction price of just $13,700.

Some rental car companies bought Leafs but quickly sent the EVs to auction after customers shunned them, agree Ibara and Ricky Beggs, managing editor of Black Book.
Over the past six months, Beggs says he has seen many 2011 Leafs cross the auction block with fewer than 10,000 miles, and some with as few as 1,200 miles. Beggs says Black Book data show the average auction price of the 2011 Leaf SV in mid-May at $13,700.
