I can't get anywhere near your price. The best offer I could find on a 2016 last December was the straight up Nissan offer which was lease then buy and would've had me at $20,500. The 2017's have the same. NY is rumored to have $2,000 tax credit for this year but we won't know for sure until April. That still makes it $18,500.
.
A 2013 with 30,000 miles for $8,500. Drive it till 70,000? and put a $6,000 battery in it to get you to 110,000 miles of ownership and 11 years of ownership for $14,500. Cheaper than buying a new Leaf.
.
Except that there is a good chance that every 30kWh battery will end up getting a capacity warranty replacement judging by the early feedback on the other thread because of the extended warranty. Depending on where they make the bars corrolate. That would swing it the other way if you drive a lot and wanted to keep the car for 20 years.
