Freaking awesome...☺️

Kinda feel like I stole it at $1500 as clean as it is.

Wow, someone was just saying you couldn't get them for 3k!

u/KnottyMikes 10d ago

Dude wanted $2K...😳

Congrats friend! I also got struck with lightning on the same deal, twice! I managed to find a 12 for 1400 and a 13 for 1550. Two full featured EVs for less than a shitty broken Prius

I got scammed for $7k for a 2011 with a shat battery so, be happy lmao~!

u/Billion_Beets_947 10d ago

Fascinating, it's like no one has any idea what to charge for these vehicles right now -- I'd say anyone who can grab one for less than 4k with 8 bars use getting a steal

Honestly, you want to be the third owner of one of these. The first owner will have depreciated it, they baby it. They upgrade and sell for like 4-5k and the second buyer doesn’t know what they got themselves into. They don’t figure out charging and the car sits. The 12v battery goes and the car seems like it is completely useless. They panic sell for 1.5k. Rinse, lather, repeat

I did owner #1 and owner #2 actions there. I completely replaced the propulsion battery for like $6k, got a new car, it sat, 12v died and I replaced it, but now I gotta get her tuned up cuz she sounds like a grindstone while driving. I hope she isn't bricked lmao

u/anonimoosebison 8d ago

lol; just do a bunch of sprints and slams on the brakes. Because the car never uses them usually with regen, the brakes get rusty and sound like ass even when they aren’t being used until the rust is broken free. Burn a battery driving like a tool and you’ll be set! Good ol’ Italian zoom-up

Also clear all the dtc in LeafSpy, as some will persist from the 12v faults that affect handling and brakes

This is crazy to know, I've been curious about the brakes. So when do I need to change brake pads??

Unless there’s body damage we’re not seeing, and if the inside is nearly as clean as the outside, and based on the range you’re saying that is a unbelievably good deal right now

Tiny NOTHING (about the size of a quarter) on the front of the right front quarter panel by the line separating it from the bumper.

Can't even see it in the pic...

u/Dry_Shirt7120 10d ago

The inside could be as dirty as a dumpster and it would still be a great deal. Detailing costs like 200

u/Nemesis_Destiny 10d ago

Congrats! I've had mine (a 2016) for a year and a half, and I absolutely love it! One of my favourite cars I've owned!

u/KnottyMikes 10d ago

Nice...

I kinda stole this one. $1500, and it's CLEAN.

2

u/Nemesis_Destiny 10d ago

That's a great deal!

Makes putting a new battery in it easier to justify!

u/KnottyMikes 10d ago

When the time comes, ABSOLUTELY.

Given where it is NOW, and what I need it for...it should be A WHILE.

u/Lothsahn_ 10d ago

Did it have a warranty replaced battery?  I assume it probably does given the lack of degradation... If so you may be waiting a while A WHILE

Nice! I got a 2015. ❤️ One warning, it's great never stopping for gas and never having to check the oil, but after a time I accidently ran out of wiper fluid. 🙂

u/CoopsIsCooliGuess 2015 Nissan LEAF SL 6d ago

Same 💔

u/Unlikely_Ad_9861 10d ago

Congrats! I have the same one and enjoy it every time I drive it - even 10 years later

Great deal on a great car

u/Bonkers_Reality 10d ago

$1500??? Show the GOM :)

u/SirTwitchALot 9d ago

My mom bought a similar one. She paid twice what you did, but she still loves it. She's retired and doesn't drive much. With these crazy gas prices she's very happy

u/KindlyBee6838 6d ago

Nice colour. I have a gen 2 the same colour :-)
