The official "I got my Leaf" thread

Also, how do I know exactly when my warrenty expires?

Marckubu: I've read the warranty starts the day the car is sold to the first owner. I used Carfax to get my vehicle's history before I bought it, so that's what I'm working off. Surely your Nissan dealer would be able to give you that information, too.

And I got my Leaf in early October, a 2015 SV with 3500 miles for $11,200 plus tax. I've been very pleased with it so far.

For new owners of used Leafs: I learned that SiriusXM extends free 2-month trials to new owners of cars with their radios. So I'm playing around with that for a bit. I don't expect to renew, but it's fun to check out.

I've read the warranty starts the day the car is sold to the first owner.

That's pretty much it. The day the first owner "takes delivery" of the car is called the "in-service date" and that is used as the start of the factory warranty.

If you decide to get a Sirius/XM subscription, do not give them your credit card number. Pay by check and pay the $2 service fee. They are not a super-ethical company.

The car is amazing! I like cars, I even have auto news blog http://new-auto2017.com/, where I speak about all new upcomming cars, but my dream - is electro car!

I bought mine just last month from Boulder Nissan in Boulder, CO. It's a 2013 SV, manufactured in 8/2013 and originally sold from the same Boulder Nissan in 10/2013. I bought it CPO with 28,500 miles on it. It appears to be in excellent condition, and the battery is holding up very well, based on the LeafSpy data.

AHr = 60.07
SOH = 91%
GIDS = 261 at indicated 100% on the dash, 97.2% SOC from LeafSpy

Picked up my 2014 Leaf S three weeks ago, and love it! It was a Georgia lease with 21k miles on it, and wound up on a Ford dealer's lot here in Northern Utah. It has the QC package, which is the only option I really wanted.
I have about 22.5k on it now, and it still has all twelve bars. A wonderfully quiet, smooth ride: my last car was a Smart ED, so quite a difference.

Congratulations!! Would you mind sharing what you paid for it?

We are on Day 6 with our new-to-us Leaf! Husband mentioned we might be able to save a bunch of money on gas, and I went a little crazy looking at what was for sale around us. I also spent a lot of time reading around this forum and learning a lot of things about the car and various models/years/options/etc, so thank you all for the collective knowledge. I went shopping on a whim when I had Veteran's Day off, and ended up buying a car!

Our car: 2013 SV with Quick Charge (04/13 build), 24k miles, 12 capacity bars (not sure yet if I'll splurge for LeafSpy), and overall in really great shape. Still all shiny with the new car smell! So far I just love it, and I am having FUN driving it! I'm in the process of getting permission to charge at work, which will add a little extra to the financial benefit too. I'm hoping it holds up alright in the Florida climate.

For those still shopping or thinking of selling soon, we paid $7650 + $640 dealer fee so $8290.
