I'm looking at a 2011 Leaf SL with only 21k miles, 82% SOH and 92% capacity remaining for about $13,000. This car has, literally, every option that was available at that time. It's loaded.
However, many have pointed out that I could receive $10,000 in federal+state tax credits if I were to buy a new, 2015 Leaf. In that case, I'm considering the base model with very few (or zero) options to get the initial price down as low as possible. However, this might be short-sighted.
My primary use would be a daily 36-mile round-trip commute plus weekend errands--probably less than 10,000 miles/year. Summers here are hot, but the rest of the year is mild, with cool-ish winters.
Does anyone have any compelling reason to spend the extra money for the SV? The SL? Alternatively, are there any must-have options if I went with the S version?
Thanks!
