Hi everyone, thanks in advance for any help. My wife and I are looking to purchase our first EV and after some research we've narrowed it down to a used (2013-2015) Nissan Leaf. We're on a fairly tight budget and want to spend less than $10,000 because we are already financing a vehicle we bought in 2016. I would be using the Leaf to commute up to 23 miles each way near Boulder, CO with chargers at my workplace and many others in the area. Below is a description of one car we are looking at. It might be questionable because of its age, but I wanted to get some expert opinions.
2013 NISSAN LEAF
4DR HB SV
$8,707
61,207 miles
CARFAX 1-Owner, bought and registered in Boulder, CO
12 bars remaining (which I understand to represent anywhere from 100% to ~85% battery life, which seems like plenty of range for my purposes)
Found at a Nissan dealer,
Is this a good deal?
Should I be concerned about accelerated battery depletion because of the age or high mileage?
As a side note, some of our must have features are included on this model, like cruise control, heated seats, 6.6 kwh charger, Bluetooth, heat pump, B-mode. Feel free to correct me on anything I am wrong about. Thanks again!
