My contact at a local Nissan Dealership told me that there are tons of Leafs at the local processing centers, about to hit the auctions. He told me that over 100 will hit the auction this week in Atlanta. There is no doubt that prices will be dropping soon. I would say that if you are a...

I've also noticed a slight price increase in 2013 models. However, I'm convinced this is temporary and we will soon see prices continue to trend downwards. The majority of leased vehicles have only really begun to come off lease and enter the used car market. In addition, there is still a very...

Added to my list and amended with manufacturer date and state of ownership. It would be great if other 2013 owners would post their current same specs and we can keep a running list. Based on my limited data, there appears to be zero correlation between battery life and month of manufacture in...

From what I recall, all cars were manufactured between March and July 2013. I didn't think there was any correlation between month and SOH.

Had day off today and some fun checking out some Leafs. I posted the same info in the battery degradation thread - hopefully this will be helpful to some people.... All cars tested were 2013 models. Model, mileage, SOH, AHr, voltage?, Hx, QC/L1,L2 SV: 16k, 90%, 59.29, 377.08V, 90.41%, 0/852...

I've been considering the purchase of a 2013 Nissan Leaf (posted a thread in the buying/leasing forum) and have checked out a few Leafs in Georgia over the last 2 days. Perhaps this info from Leaf Spy Lite will be useful. All cars tested were 2013 models. Model, mileage, SOH, AHr, voltage?, Hx...

Checked out a 2013 Leaf SV with 16k miles - it was very low on charge at the time (13 miles range remaning). Leaf Spy lite returned the following values: AHr = 58.97; SOH = 90%; 359.70V; HX = 89.77%; 42QCs & 562 L1/L2s; and SOC= 21.8% How do these values shape up? From what I understand 90% SOH...

Still looking for a Leaf, but have some time now. Anyway, I wanted to check if anyone has noticed that on some leafs there appears to be a much larger gap between the hood and front panels or charging door and hood? Any reason to avoid a Leaf with a larger than normal looking gap, assuming no...

Would be great if you can update with some August auction numbers. Thx

What is the consensus on car color.... is there a significant difference in battery life between a white/silver Leaf and a black Leaf?

Whoops, not power steering....I meant cruise control (edited to avoid confusion!). Also thanks for the clarification on the heat pump/resistive heater workings. Leftie, I also just noticed you have the SV without QC. Do you every regret not getting the QC package?

Gerry, cwerdna: The resistive heater is really 100% efficient.... so surely running it at a lower current will match the heat output and economy of a heatpump? cwerdna - I read your posted thread where you referenced your Leaf Spy numbers...Ahr=60.15, SOH of 91% and Hx of 92.12% What benchmark...

What do you guys think about purchasing an SV model without the quick charge port? I plan to charge only at home. I'm also still considering the S model (w/ QC and sub 15k mileage) I test drove which would be similarly priced at just under $10k. Since Atlanta is not really that cold in winter, I...

Atlanta and surrounding burbs rarely hits temps in the single digits or teens. The heater factor is starting to sway me towards an SV or SL model. Going to check out a few tomorrow. If my ELM327 dongle does not arrive today, do I have any other options to check if the system has been reset and...

Update: I checked out a 2013 base model with quick charger and odometer under 15k. There is just under 1 year left on the 36 month warranty. The seller is asking under $10k. The battery display had 12 bars and an initial mileage reading of 84. I have not yet received my scanner, so I was unable...
