I found a 2014 Leaf SV with all of the options I want (quick charge, LED lights, around view), and the color I want (inside and out), and 32k miles on the clock. I'm hoping to get it for $11k out the door (that includes 6.25% sales tax, plate fees, etc). The car has been dealer serviced its whole life, and came from Ohio, so it shouldn't have any heat related battery issues. The GOM had an indicated 84 miles when I first got in, and all 12 bars were there. If the dealer wants to play ball, I will go back and run Leaf Spy to check the AH and SOH numbers on the pack.
I drove the car today and it's absolutely immaculate, and has brand new tires. It drove perfectly too. And the car will work fine for my commute, so that isn't a worry. The one thing that keeps nagging me is that the 2015 models have the better battery chemistry.
Should I do it? I don't need another car until August, but this seems like a damn good deal. Is the newer chemistry worth it?
Thanks all!
