Hi Mitrals
Do you know if it has the cold weather package? Especially the battery warmer.

I thought it was standard on '12s and beyond: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/19/2012-nissan-leaf-higher-price-tag-standard-equipment/.

A '12 SL with heated seats and wheel also has the battery warmers.

Yes it does. It was standard after 2012

Do have another to sell?

I do not right now. Leaf prices have been on the rise and 2012s are getting harder to get. Pm me your e-mail address and we can talk more

Sorry, but I still find this a sad note (but of course great news for those in the used market) that a car that listed for over $37K has lost $30K of value in less than 4 years! Yes, I know (at least perhaps for the original owner in IL; these cash rebates are gone now) you need to deduct both the 10% MSRP IL EPA rebate and the $7,500 Fed Tax Credit but still --- recall an '06 Mazda3 GT 5-door hatch (quite similar size; just not of course an EV) that I paid about $23K new still had a trade-in value of $9K after 6 years and just under 60K miles on the '12 LEAF SL that replaced it --- my '12 is 11 months older than the car listed here; a bit over 39K miles and perhaps now what, $5 or $6K at trade-in? Of course its all on paper until you do something but a bit of a shocker for those that bought these instead of leasing ... mine is also at 11 bars so definitely not on track to get the 'free' battery replacement; its still quite cheap to both run and maintain so its not going anywhere until Tesla Model 3's show up out our way --- I've kept an ICE for trips, etc. so this is our work commuter so I can wait things out -- on OP's last note; perhaps we've seen the price bottom out on these?

Redleaf: all the cars I have bought and sold have been leased vehicles so Nissan is the one losing money here. Unfortunately leaf is not a car for everyone. My daily commute went from 20 miles to 60 miles without reliable charging at work and the leaf no longer works for me in winter. I switched to a cmax energi. It's painful for buyers that bought new but the savings in gas and maintenance reduces the pinch a little

Yes, we also had at least one and perhaps a few other Chicagoland early adopter LEAF owners who needed to switch to a Volt or other PHEV because of range; not because of degradation but winter driving or job change, etc. --- I still can do 60 miles during 3 seasons fairly easily but my M-F work commute hasn't changed at 30 miles R/T and that would still be at 80% charging. The car is still somewhat pampered; M-F 80% charged; 100% on weekends; heated and cooled garage; L2 charging at home about 99% of the time --- last winter was a bit mild so not many days did it stay home; first adopters always take a chance on the eventual residual values so that's something I accept but don't have to like it!

Thank you!
Just bought a 2013 one.
I noticed that, prices are rising, aren't they?
