Well, I bought it. Got it checked out by a dealer and it's a new battery, replaced last March! I have no idea why CarMax couldn't tell me that, but I'm pretty happy. :mrgreen: Edit for typo.

Ah, I see my mistake. It's 38%SOC, 37.4% Gids.

Thanks for the advice! I called, the guy I talked to could see that the car had been serviced but not what was done. I asked about the 3227 update and he said he didn't see it. So it sounds like a new battery is unlikely. mwalsh, thanks. I was going by what I was hearing from the dealerships...

It would be cool if the battery had been replaced, but if that were the case I would think CarMax would be using that as a selling point. The trouble with calling the dealer is I have no idea which dealer. There's no database, I'd have to find the individual dealer that did the service. I've...

Speaking of, has anyone made up a table of Gids vs. bars? There are several threads with data about the typical AHr range where a bar drop can be expected, but I haven't found something similar for Gids. But I'll keep looking.

Yeah, being non-sketchy is kind of their thing. But the fact that the pictures of the car on their website showed 9 bars while the car showed 12 bars in person set my alarm bells off, and now I have set my cynicism to full effect.

Huh. That makes me wonder if the whole, "oops, someone accidentally unplugged it overnight" is a ploy.

Hi all, Following the advice of several people on this board I got myself an OBD2 dongle and the LeafSpy Pro app before going out used-car-hunting, since it was pointed out that dealers could reset the computers on a used Leaf to make it appear that it has 12 bars of battery capacity on the dash...

mrringtone, did you happen to use LeafSpy or some such to see how many AHrs the battery had when you bought it? I'm likewise looking at a 2011 Leaf SL from Carmax, also for 11 grand. From the pictures online it looks like it has 9 bars left, and according to the sales rep I talked to the...

Re: Superchargers, good to know. My question came partly from "could I void the warranty doing this" and partly from "if I expand my search from San Antonio to Austin/Houston, will I need to have it delivered?" With the latter in mind, I was looking and it seems like there are adapters or...

Thanks for the responses! OBD wifi dongle is already being shipped to me. As for putting in a call to Nissan to verify if a given vehicle is covered by the capacity warranty, would that be the customer support line or would I have to take it to a dealer? And this is probably a dumb question...

Hi All, PaxEmilia here. It's about time to replace my old '97 Civic (OK, past time to replace it) and I really want to go EV for my next car. My friends have a Leaf and love it. I've been browsing what's available in my area. Buying a new SL or SV is more than I wanted to spend. I'm...
