Should I just call Nissan and check if the battery warranty is still applicable with the VIN number? What else should I look into? I am not the owner. I am planning to buy the car if I can get a free battery

As long as the car isn't on the "opt out" list, you should be fine.

mitrals said:Chatted with them and they said warranty is good till 11/28/16 . Looks like I will be buying that leaf. Do you guys think 7K is a good price? Has some scratches and a couple minor dents.
mitrals said:Deal fell through . The seller wanted to hold on to the car till he can get a 200 mile BEV. I told him about the battery and how he should check with Nissan. He called today and said Nissan is giving him a new battery. That could have been me . Atleast I got some good karma
I wonder about that...Evoforce said:There will be plenty of deals out there like that.

So of the 19,000+ in the class to start with, likely many were sold to people in very warm climates, but certainly not most. Let's cut the likely number of vehicles eligible for replacement, given the settlement criteria, down to say 8,000+<br abp="590"><br abp="591">Second, given the actual resale value of these cars is so low, you have to think that any one Nissan actually still owns (i.e., was a leased vehicle) they probably just scrap when they come off lease (as its likely way cheaper for them than the cost of the replacement battery+labor) if it looks like it might end up qualifying. I think the only likely cars out there are ones that were purchased in those areas and their owners are just unaware of the possibility of replacement, like the owner the OP found.<br abp="592"><br abp="593">So can there really be a lot of them on the market?Evoforce said:There will be plenty of deals out there like that.
