Here's another thread to idle away your time on while you're waiting for that "pending" to change to a date. What do you think will be the reason for the first used Leaf on the market and when do you think it will happen?
My first guess is that it will be a repo. Someone will lose a job and not be able to make payments.
My next guess is typical buyer's remorse. Someone will find it just doesn't have the range they need, for example, maybe due to a job change or move farther away, or the second baby turns out to be triplets, etc.
Third choice is the car ends up in the hands of the non-user spouse, such as in a divorce settlement or unexpected demise of the guy (okay let's be sexist, it will be the guy who really wanted it) who actually bought it and wife/widow wants nothing to do with it.
Fourth: dealer demo or other unit from the test drive series maybe?
How soon - within two months of delivery, but when will that be? Keep watching the dashboard.
Then will it sell at a premium, assuming it isn't salvaged or damaged? There are plenty of people on this forum who might jump on it rather than wait months, but my guess is they'd have to get at least have the tax credit knocked off the price.
