I live in Los Angeles. Currently have about a 20 mile round trip commute (if you call that a commute). I was at CarMax over the weekend and saw some used Leafs and was amazed how cheap they were. I am seeing 2013 models with 30k ish miles for 8k or even less in some instances. This blew my mind how cheap. I'm starting to wonder Why they are so cheap? Is it because the batteries have seriously degraded by this point? I would LOVE to be able to buy a car for 8k and pay cash and not have a car payment. I'm coming from a $400+ per month payment so this would be a dream.
I have so many questions I don't even know where to start. I guess I'll start out with a few obvious ones.
1. Would a leaf be ideal for someone with my short commute who has chargers on both ends?
2. Are the prices I saw at carmax legit, meaning these aren't cars on their last legs already?
3. What year / mileage do you recommend I look at if I want the car to last like 3-5 years or more would be great? I'm really just looking at a cheap vehicle that will get me to / from work for the next few years with little issue.
I'll start out with those three questions for now and I'm sure I'll have a lot of follow up questions based on your replies.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
