I've been eyeing an electric car for a minute. Now, I've narrowed it to the Leaf...but I'm confused by all the options. For the past week, I've been recording how much I really drive daily. I'll be lucky if I get to 25 miles on any given day. I work from home and I only go out to check the mail, pick up the kids, the usual and hardly ever past 10 miles from the house. On top of that...when the weather warms up, I'm on the Harley. I've been known to not drive my car for a week.
So, theres a 2012 SL QC....for sale $6995, but then there are these '13 SL and SV Premiums with QC $9000 max. The only difference I see is the mileage on the cars. More miles cheaper. It seems like a no brainer to get the one with the most options and highest miles, since I'm not going to put very many more miles on it.
So what am I missing? What should I be checking for? Do I need to download this android mobile app and attempt to get the battery information before hand or while I'm at the dealer? Should I go for ones with some factory warranty left?
Is Premium really worth it (surround view and Bose). All my reading on this forum leads me to believe a leaf is a leaf, except for the creature comforts. Since an electric vehicle will be a novelty in itself...I can't miss what I never had, can I?
What say the forum?
