Hi,
I'm in Atlanta, and I'm sold on purchasing a Leaf. Just having a hard time choosing between a 2013 S and a 2011 SL that may end up qualfying for a battery replacement under warranty.
Here are my choices:
$6200
2013 Nissan Leaf S (08/2013 manufactured)
36,000 miles
not sure of battery health, but has all features I want: heated seats, quick charge (and 6.0 kW charger), heated steering wheel
Battery warranty expires 9/17/2018
Second one is $6500
2011 Leaf SL
40,000 miles
Battery: 9/12 capacity bars, and warranty expires on 1/30/2018
extra throw-in - includes JuiceBox Open Source Level 2 EV (power=15kw, current= 60A and voltage: 120-240V
What is the probability that the capacity will be reduced to 8/12 in the next 12 months assuming I would drive 12k miles per year? And also, even if the battery is replaced under warranty, is the 2011 SL with a new battery likely superior to the 2013 above?
I would very much appreciate some help here. Thanks in advance!
