If you find a lot of 2-year-old cars available for sale, you should assume that they are unwanted for reasons that would lead most people to shy away from them. ...Many who have already dumped their 2- or 3-year-old Leaf have likely done so because they got one of the many lemons that Nissan let out the door in their haste to meet demand. Used 2014s may be rare, but GOOD used 2014s are rarer still.
Don't know if I can agree with that. I bought a 2014 Leaf S (man date 4/14) just off a two year lease (a Georgia car) with 21,000 miles on it and 12 bars. I paid $11250 back in October. I have put over 2,500 miles on mine since October, and no problems, other than upper strut bearings that needed replacing when I got it, and I had covered under warranty.
Many folk turn their cars in at the end of the lease because the residual is ridiculously high and they can buy an off-lease for substantially less.
I have gone 93 miles on a charge, and still had 6% SOC left. My car looks and runs like new.
2014s are available, but you have to shake the trees for them: I bought mine at a Ford dealership.
