Hi,
I am looking to buy a 2015 Model S with 12k miles and 12-bars on dashboard. The only concern is that the range (GOM) only shows 71miles on 100% charge !!! I am aware that range/GOM depends on earlier ride but I have never seen so low even on my 2013 model which used to show 81miles with 11 bars and 101miles when it had 12-bars.
I am planning to check with LeafSpy, but is this a concern? Is it worth checking with Nissan Service center on the state of the battery?
----------- from my earlier post --------
My 2013 Nissan Leaf got totaled recently. I am looking into buying a used 2015 Leaf S from a local auto dealor (not a Nissan dealor). This was a lease return and sold at an auto auction recently.
Total Price (including TTL) : $11K
Model : 2015 Leaf S
Mileage : 12K miles
Battery : 12-bars
Factory warranty : 3-months remaining
Leased in Texas earlier.
CarFax report looks clean. Should I get the battery inspected at the dealorship or 12-bars a good indicator?
My initial preference was to do another lease but there are no 2017 models and 2018 models seem to be 1-2 months away. 2018 model lease pricing is not yet out and I don't expect to be cheap at least in Q1'2018.
Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks
