I've been on the forum here for many years but I think that everyone here has a Leaf already wouldn't be looking or in the market for one.

Is CL better? Ebay maybe? The only reason I ask is because mine has the Brusa/L2 upgrade and so people here might appreciate it more then an Ebay'er.

I don't need 3 EV's now so time for Astro to go.. :cry: but hopefully to an awesome home!

Thanks for any advice!

Start with CL because it's free and easy, then move to Ebay if it doesn't sell. And if you want suggestions for price, post info on the car.
Yes, Craig's List... Be patient if you can... As you note, the right person is more likely to appreciate the Brusa... Good luck.
 
I might try CL then.. Basically it's a 2012 SV that's fully loaded except with no CHAdeMO which is why I decided to setup and help engineer the Brusa config on it (remember that this Leaf really is the 1st one to have a fully automated CAN controlled L2 boosted setup). When we went down to Tony's party in Sandiego, we also went with 3 other Leaf's that had DCFC... I was the only one without L3.

While at the chargers, all 3 were waiting to L3(30 to 45min ea) while I was at the L2 pulling 32a and needed 2hr or so and finished in the same they did :lol:

Anyways, Astro has 32k miles now and is JUST ABOUT to drop the 4th bar so whoever gets it will get a new battery (warranty is up at END OF SEPT-2017). The way I'm tracking it is with GregH's awesome LeafXL unit, this is a RARE unit that only a few were made and show all aspects of the car including having PRECISE control over the Brusa and how much power you want to pull from the J1772 (say a Blink that is 24a). Its gives you everything and is shown in my early youtube vids which I've included below as well. Now it's mounted and in a nice custom 3d printed case (shown in the pics). I also have this in my Rav which monitors everything!

Note: The Brusa is upgraded from the air cooled unit shown on the youtube vids and is now liquid cooled! ALSO INCLUDED is the Upgraded V2 Nissan L2 Brick that will do 20a continuously.

Besides that, it has the Zero Emission side decal which was factory as well as the "clear bra" option on the entire front of the car! This was done by Nissan as this was a Nissan corp car and I bought it from them. Brian B. remembered my car when he came out here because Nissan Irvine had a SV demo car and Astro was the one ;)

Paint and interior are pretty much flawless. It does have the front AND REAR HEATED SEATS I've taken awesome care of him and he gets ALL THE ATTENTION as the events and shows! Wife is very sad about that... Rav just doesn't pull the attention Astro does.

As far as price goes, I don't know, the SoCal market is aggressive.. but I'd be interested in hearing others thoughts.. Images and vids below.

Thanks!
