Hi all - thank you in advance for your advice. I've read the used leaf buying guide and all the resources here are much appreciated.
Basically I am in the market for an inexpensive car to be used by our future au pair and am thinking about a Leaf.
I've come across a number of listings, specifically from Carvana on 2016 62kwh Leafs that seem extremely... inexpensive. See this link (I used myev instead of Carvana itself because it lets you filter by range better than Carvana's filter does).
https://www.myev.com/cars-for-sale?make=nissan&model=leaf&sort=price-asc&page=1&mileage-max=39985&mileage-min=5&range-max=226&range-min=112
Basically there are a bunch of similar 2016 Leafs with 226 miles of range for about $12k and roughly 30K miles. These are about 30-40% less than similar cars at Carmax as far as I can tell. Can you guys tell me if I'm missing something? I understand the possibility of battery degradation but it seems unlikely that ALL of these are secretly degraded batteries.
thanks-
