Is this the Walmart on Irwin SImpson/Mason Montgomery? Would be nice to have another charger up this way. Wonder if they will be free or pay stations.

Any problems with Leaf Spy or towing the car back?

Good luck in Cincinnati. I'm in N. KY and bought my 13 SL (new) this May from a dealer near St. Louis that gave up on selling leafs. I borrowed my friends SUV and rented a tow Dolly from u-haul ($130) and towed it back. Before I found the new one, I was contemplating buying one from off lease...

Really? I thought they had to let independent mechanics work on the car? If they won't allow this it makes junk yard leafs and used battery packs worth even less than the $2700 I mentioned above. Also makes the car that much less attractive as a used vehicle. Leaving the packs to be...

Hi Maybe a 2013 junk yard battery would save some money if there is no warranty claim. I searched on car-part.com and found a 2013 battery for $2755. So about half of a new battery. You would be taking a chance, but it would save some money. Of course you still need labor and the few adapter...

Found my serial. 411444 Also, fired up leaf Spy tonight and I'm up to 263 GIDs. Seems to be regaining some.

Production date is 6/13. So almost two years of just sitting.

First successful commute. 26 miles each way, 52 round trip. With AC on during the trip home. Ended up with 26 miles left on the GOM. I think this car is going to work work really well for my commute. Hopefully I get some GID's back. Will check them again next week. Highest number of GID's...

Well, not really. It was about 350 miles away from me and I took a chance. Knowing it may have some degradation from sitting around charged. The first time I actually saw it was when I picked it up to tow it home. I figured I could live with the degradation and it was just too good of a deal...

Thanks, I got the 7,500 for my volt in 2012 but had to play with an IRA. I checked my taxes for last year and I should qualify, if not Ill move some out of an IRA again to qualify for the full amount. I think the loss is due to the battery sitting also. But it was still a good deal even...

They did not have any others on the lot. The sales person said it had been about a year and half since they sold one. My guess is that they didn't advertise it very well and didn't really want to sell Leafs.

Yup, $9.5k after I get the rebate. Well, I still have to pay my State Sales Tax. Which is about $1k so more like $10.5 net. I tried to convince a friend in Colorado to buy it. He didn't have any interest till after I put money down on this one. In Colo. it would have been closer to a...

Thanks Gerry That was my thoughts also. Having the Volt, and able to get 40+ miles out of it routinely lead me to believe I would be good with the Leaf. Considering I only get 10Kwh with it, and should get more than double with the Leaf. I will see how my commute does tomorrow.

Hi Long time reader. Just bought my new Leaf. Found a leaf that was sitting on the lot for a while in St. Louis. New 2013 SL, $17k. Starting mileage of 408. Couldn't pass the deal up. $9,500 after Fed rebate for an originally priced $36k car with the factory 3 year warranty. I have...

Nice! Are you sure it's not a 10 bar? (2 bar loser?) Sometimes it's hard to see/count, maybe my eyes are just going! Think the GOM is anywhere close? I have a 46 mile commute now with a large hill at the end (The 75/71 cut in the hill in Northern KY). Things have changed a bit from when I...

That's good information to have..... (Average Above). Do we know when the number of cars coming off Lease this summer? (Example, 1200 in June)? I'm not to concerned with battery loss, as long as I could make 42 miles most of the year. I can do some lite hypermiling. (i.e. no heat, drive the...

Wow, nice to know it's close to trade in value now. I will put up a wanted add when I'm ready. Only problem is I'm in Cincinnati, so would have to truck/ship it home. I don't think I would have a problem making my commute as I routinely make it on under 10kwh that the Volt provides.. If I...

Hi So I'm currently a Volt driver and will be looking into getting a used leaf this summer or fall. My daily commute is 42 miles, about 9 months out of the year I can make that in all electric with the volt and the other three months I'm usually only short by a mile or two. I think my commute...
