I'm using Carfax to shop around for a 2014 or newer Leaf, and I can see each car's history. Most of them were sold at auction. For instance, https://www.carfax.com/VehicleHistory/p/Report.cfx?partner=CUL_1&vin=1N4AZ0CP9FC302418&compCode=3TXOkBQ9Gt1K8apOCxLpM43tWkSiC%2FHF
... was bought & serviced at Mossy Nissan Kearny Mesa near San Diego, then sold at auction. Currently for sale 89 miles north in Anaheim: https://www.carfax.com/Used-Nissan-Leaf_w536#vdp=1N4AZ0CP9FC302418
Meanwhile, Mossy Nissan has several other used Leafs for sale for considerably more: https://www.mossynissan.com/inventory/?s=leaf
I'm curious why so many Leafs go straight to auction. Is it a weird car in that regard? Does Nissan just not like the used Leaf market? Are auctioned cars likely damaged? And does buying an auctioned car change the warranty in any way?
