I am about to buy a pre certified 2013 Leaf S with 21k miles for $10k - This seems to be a good deal based on autotrader and other guides.
My two concerns are:
1. Battery Life: I ordered a ELM327 Bluetooth reader to hook up LeafSpy to the car (I hope the garage is okay with this) but most of the LeafSpy guides online are for owners, can someone give me guidance on what numbers to look for when checking the life of a used 2013 Leaf S. I know it has 12 bars but I want to know is that 98% health or 86%.
2.Battery Warranty: The Pre certified warranty covers the battery and other components for 100,000 miles or 7 years but my understanding is that they only guarantee to get the battery back to 9 out of 12 battery health. What percent drop in health and range is 9 out of 12? Do they ever get you back to 12 out of 12? This will have a big impact on my ability to resell the car in a few years.
I appreciate any advice or direction before I buy the car
