Looks like a great deal! Btw - Your VIN number is actually displayed in one of the pictures if you wanted to run a report on it (I would). One of the other pictures shows your battery life (think high-level/generic) and there aren't any bars missing - another good sign. Full disclaimer - I am only in week 3 with my Leaf and I love it! I had a Jetta TDI before with great mileage and sold it back to VW (part of that whole emissions scandal). One thing you should look at it is your daily commute. That battery is rated for 84 miles of travel on average - but I read about people doing round trip commutes every day of 70 to 75 miles - no issues. Budget for an L2 (220 V) home charger to reduce some range anxiety and charge time - best to assume $1K after purchase and install - this forum has tons of great recommendations on charging stations. You can use the 110 charger it comes with (better verify that original owner left it with the car) but it will take a very long time - 15+ hours to go from empty to full charge. If you don't have a long commute, you're fine using the 110 (level 1) charger - I used mine for a couple of weeks since my commute is about 40 miles daily on average and was fine every day. I've read of others that use nothing but the 110 charger - just need to plan accordingly. Good luck!krossari said:Hello, I'm new here.
I'm thinking of buying this Nissan Leaf:

Any thoughts on if its a good or bad deal?
It seems like the best option right now is either to buy a used 2013 that's come off lease or to lease a new 2017.
Do you know if it's bad to plug it in even if the battery is at say 70-80%? Or is it better to go down to at least 15% before you plug it in?
