I am sure you guys are thinking I am nuts, but I was QCing my car over the weekend and ran in to a pretty good deal on a 13' SV for 12,900. Is fully loaded with AVM, Bose stereo, and my wife is sick and tired of putting gas in the truck since I came back from deployment and the Volt has been gone since November. :lol: Was just curious as guys with the 13's and newer seem overall happy with them. It has 6,200 miles on the clock, looks like brand new, and my LeafDD was showing Hx101 and still above 60ahr in the pack. After doing some plodding around on here some seem to believe these 13's have the magic battery where others I guess got the crap 11/12 battery. I know a lot of you guys have moved on to the Kia Soul EV, B-class, and Model S (wish I could!). Unfortunately here in Virginia though stuff like that isn't even available. Other reasons I was looking at too is cause I was debating doing the Brusa upgrade on my 12', and determined it just wasn't cost effective at all. So at least with this I can get the 25amp EVSE upgrade cord, and have 10amps over my 12' at the house, and the full 30amps at all the L2 EVSE's going in around here since all the Chademo units keep getting busted. I do appreciate everyones help over the years. Haven't been active a whole lot lately, but still do a lot of learning on here about things going on as a whole.
EDIT: Forgot to add the car was built in November of 2013, so is a late model to my understanding which is also why I think it has a good battery in it. The VIN is 1N4AZ0CP5DC421712 , and it seems all the 2013's that have the low ahr/hx readings are all in the low 40000 range from my poking around on here.
