Yep, bought a 2015 Leaf with 19k miles for $8,500. Will never buy a gasoline car again.

- throwawaymanbot 9y agoI Hear the leaf's (Leaves? lol) are going for cheap. But im wondering why? do their battery packs degrade quick or something? Great bargain if they dont!
- akhilcacharya 9y agoWhat's the range like with 19k miles? I'm considering one for my first car.
- madengr 9y ago70-80 miles
- JshWright 9y agoWhich is effectively the real world range it had when it was new.
- FigBug 9y agoUnless you live somewhere really hot (Leaf only has passive battery cooling), a Leaf will make it to about 100,000km before it loses it's first bar on battery life meter. (There are 12 bars)
- grecy 9y agoWow, that's cheap! Does the mileage drop badly in very cold weather? How long does it take to charge?
- FigBug 9y agoI live in Vitoria, BC. It doesn't get that cold here, but it was below freezing I lost maybe 10% of range. It takes maybe 3 hours to change with my level 2 charger.
- grecy 9y agoAwesome, thanks. For that kind of money, I am thinking about it for a Yukon commuter car! - so nice not to have to leave it plugged in all day or let it warm up for 20mins when it's -40 !
- cmiles74 9y agoI'm in New England and I'm seeing 100 miles with a full charge in the summer, down to 85 in the winter. Mine is in a garage at night, which may make a difference. That said, that's just what the car estimates. I can get close to that number if I stay off the highway, but I do think it's a bit optimistic. I typically come in between 5-10 miles less then the estimate.
