yeah, and maybe they should factor in the average car bought and sold, there's still a LOT of car owners/buyers that stick to the used lots.

- Gibbon1 10y agoYou can buy a fairly low mileage used Nissan Leaf for approximately $10,000 right now. Look on Craigslist take your pick. For the life of me I cannot imagine why you wouldn't be able to buy the same cars for $5,000 five years from now.
- ourmandave 10y agoThe warranty on the battery pack is 60 months / 60,000 miles. A replacement battery costs $5,500 plus taxes and labor. I wonder how many on Craigslist don't want to write that check.
- Gibbon1 10y agoA fair number of vehicles on Craigslist at the $10k price range have 20-40k miles on them. More than likely the battery will last 100k/10 years. Unlikely someone selling a leaf with 25k miles on it is doing so because they fear the replacement cost of a new battery. Also, replacement battery costs are dropping year by year. So if one bought a used leaf, drove it for five years and replaced the battery you wouldn't pay $5500.
