I too bought an used 2013 LEAF recently (described couple weeks ago on this thread). I think you got a very good deal. However it's the first time I have heard of a SL w/out rear camera. How is that possible? It has navigation ... the screen is already there to accept the video from a cheap...

Another 2013 Leaf S from a dealer, w/QC and other options, 12 bars, even cheaper at $11,000 (but has 28,000 miles): http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/5006704829.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here is the same car (with QC) with slightly higher mileage by a dealer at asking price of $12,000 (so one could probably buy it for a bit less than $12,000): http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/ctd/5002657074.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Maybe prices are going down...

I did not know about Nissan firming up the suspension for the 2013. That explains why I feel the car being more bouncy, I thought it was because of the newer car with tires pumped up. That's too bad, I would rather have a smoother ride. But I do like the new Eco mode. A note about tires...

It's been over 2.5 years since I leased my 2012 Leaf. After 2.5 years, all things considered, I can say the Leaf is the best car I have ever owned in my life. Briefly, the reasons are: pollute less than 40% of an ICE car, very fun to drive, very reliable, zero maintenance, very cheap to lease...

$2500 from California is for new cars only. Otherwise you and I can sell a used $100 EV back and forth to each other 1000 times and receive $2.5 million dollars from the state. That would be fun! This is the web site we go to to apply for the rebate, but it must be a new car (purchased or...

Thank you for the comment about 2014's Lizard battery. I have not kept up with Leaf battery news and did not know about the Lizard battery. You probably already know this, the 2013 I just purchased has 10 more miles in range than the 2012. Has anyone heard any thing bad about the 2013...

It's been over 2.5 years since I leased my 2012 Leaf (see my last post above). After 2.5 years, all things considered, I can say the Leaf is the best car I have ever owned in my life. Briefly, the reasons are: pollute less than 40% of an ICE car, very fun to drive, very reliable, zero...

Bought a late-2013 Nissan Leaf S w/QC,6.6kW,camera w/ only 8,000 miles, Nissan Pre-Owned Certified, for $13,300 (before tax and fees), in SF Bay Area. The car was in like-new condition.

FYI I just bought a late-2013 Leaf-S w/ QC+6.6kW+camera w/ 8,000 miles for $13,300 (before tax and fees) in the SF Bay Area. More 2013s will hit the market as each month goes by as their lease expires.

WTB: one OEM rim with tire (old tire is fine) If anyone has one for sale please PM me. I am in the south SF bay area, near Palo Alto / San Jose. Thank you.

Here is the lease deal I signed couple weeks ago at Sunnyvale Nissan: 36m/45k: $3000 (the value of my trade-in) + $250/mo x 35 payments = 3,000 + 8,750 = $11,750 (so, -$2500 from Calif. = $9,250 net cost for 3 years 45k miles) It's my understanding others here have gotten better deals in the...

Last couple days (Oct 25-26, 2012) Sunnyvale Nissan received 7 LEAFs. They were all immediately sold (i.e. leased). If you got your LEAF from them, would be great if you could share with us your exact deal terms.

Check to see if they want any other "drive off" fees? Assuming you mean the following: (227.35 x 1.0875) x 36 + 1600 = $10,500 for 36m/45k That is not too bad IMO. Some on this forum have gotten it as low as $9,300 for 36m/36k I was only able to get them down to $11,500 for...

Thank you for your feedback dgpcolorado. Did Nissan disclose any other improvements for the 2013 model in addition to the 6.6 kw charger? For example, is it likely they will have a battery with a longer range? Also, I am not very technical, what you are saying is the 6.6 kw charger for 2013...
