I expect there have been some long forum threads or informative posts on how to shop for a used leaf. Rather than repeating all of it, can someone point me to the best thread or posted advice on shopping?
I"m starting the process of shopping for a used leaf for my daughter to use mainly as a commuter car to High School. Round trip is 10 miles but with excursions, shopping, visiting friends, going to music lessons and they gym she might hit 30 miles per day give or take. We are in the Vancovuver WA area (Portland metro) and can buy any car within driving home distance of zip 98607. Taxes and registration are the same whether I buy in OR or WA so doesn't really matter. Anything in metro Portland or possibly as far away as Salem would be possible.
This will be our 3rd car in the family. We also have a Highlander and a Prius so for longer road trips she can always swap cars with me or my wife. But I don't want to get an older car that is totally played out.
Budget is in the $10,000 range. Would like a backup camera as she is a new driver. Other goodies are not essential but having bluetooth music and voice interface with an iPhone would be nice to have.
I read in another thread that a member named Leftiebiker posted excellent used car buying advice but I can't find that thread.
Thanks
