Hello and thank you for reading.
I live in Japan. In Nagano and it snows heavily in the winter. I see other Leafs driving in the winter so I figure if they can manage so can I for 3 months with winter tyres.
I'd like some advice on which of two Leafs I have short listed to buy.
These are Japanese Leafs, and the I can't really see the difference apart from the names.
S = lowest grade, no auto climate control model
X = middle model, gets auto climate control
G = top model, more factory standard with extras?
2016 / July S 30kwh - 11 bars (880,000 yen - lets just say US$8000)
43,000kms. LED lights, heated everything. Basic aircon and aftermarket stereo, so no remote stuff. Silver.
About a 3 hour drive away.
2015 / September X 24kwh - 12 bars (970,000 yen - lets just say US$9000)
29,000kms. Halogen lights, heated everything. Auto climate and Nissan navigation. White. Been sitting unregistered for about 2 years. He moves it around his car lot but that's it.
About 30min drive away.
Both are from private dealers.
I feel the closer dealer with the 24kwh leaf is the way to go, I can imagine me using the remote climate control. However, both models have heated steering wheel & seats. I also really want to install LED lights if i went with the X 24kwh. Is that even possible?
Then the more research I do, I feel I should go for the 30kwh because it has the Lizard? To be honest, I am confused and would like your advice. What would you do?
Thank you very much.
