Hey gang!
We're looking at a couple of different Leafs here in Japan. The prices and options are different from the US, so basically the difference between the 2013 and 2012 are the wheels, heater system and slightly more range (30 km).
There are 2 dealer test drive cars we're looking at:
-2012 top of the line with 9000 km for $20,500 after taxes and everything (but it's silver and I dread silver )
-2013 top of the line with 4000 km for $27,000 all in. (White, which is nicer to me.)
We only drive about 6000-7000 km a year, though we live in a cold place so I think the heater would be great. We plan to keep the car for 8-10 years.
It's not that the 2013 is expensive for what you get, it's just that the 2012 is insanely cheap I think. I think I could like it, but I also feel like I might have that regret that I should have just waited for the better heater and range. We're not in a rush and can wait up to a half year, though the super-cheap 2012 may disappear.
Any advice is appreciated!
