What kind of electric car costs $8500? Used Leaf?
- wlesieutre 9y agoI heard from a friend that the Leaf's battery pack had a major redesign of the cooling system in recent models, that might have driven down the value of used older versions with worse anticipated battery wear.
- mavhc 9y agoYeah, that's why I got the 2014 version. Turns out it also had the 6.6kW charger, even though it wasn't advertised as such, that was nice. You'd think the Nissan dealer would know something about the cars they were selling.

- aphextron 9y agoI just bought a 2011 Leaf with 40k miles in mint condition for $5,000. They are insanely cheap right now, and amazing cars if the range works for you (I get about 60-70 miles on mine). Also with the free quick chargers everywhere in the Bay Area I literally drive for the cost of car insurance now. I think it's just a combination of fear from the consumers and lack of knowledge on used dealers part combined that has left these things dirt cheap.
