Hi folks,
I’m thinking about buying a near new 2018 40kwh Nissan leaf in Ocober 2021.
This is from reputable car dealer in New Zealand.
The current kms is 850km and the soh 95%.
I am a little worried as this car would have been sitting around for most of 2 and half years or so.
Does sitting around for that long affect the batteries soh?
Also, on there website for this company they do have an exclaimer stating:
If the battery deteriorates to greater than 15% in one year, they may reimburse 10% of the car’s value.
The deterioration seems a lot before they may reimburse and 10% is not an awful lot of value considering. Is this something to be concerned about?
I’m thinking about getting the battery tested independently, which would take a couple of days.
I would really appreciate any bodies advice as this is the first electric car I have consider buying.
Many thanks
Tiaka
