I’m not very savvy and looking for some selling advice.
I have a 2013 Nissan Leaf with 81,000 miles, a range of only 45 miles left at a full charge, and a sizeable crease in the driver side front panel from a low-speed backing out encounter with a light pole. Original battery, 10 bars, built 12/13.
I bought it from my (ex) brother-in-law for $4k 2 years ago; KelleyBB puts its value at average $3750 but without taking into account the driver’s side dent.
But I also see comparable cars listed in the area for $4,500-$5,500. They all have battery ranges listed as “100 miles” but I’m guessing that’s a default.
In this strange world of battery degradation and fair value, how much would you sell it for? I have a known entity offering me $3,500, no haggling or test driving or any of that pain. I feel pretty sure it’s worth at least that much, even with the dent and the degraded battery. I think I could get more if I put it online and wait, but with that limited range, I don’t want to screw anyone over, either.
What would you do?
