Thanks to some of your who posted advice on my other queries. As of now I'm still shopping around for a used Leaf and came and across this situation:
Guy with a 2013 leaf (produced in 11/13), says the previous owner had a new battery installed within the past year. Nothing on the Carfax shows a new battery was installed, just a lot of"vehicle serviced" and "body computer/module reprogrammed", and electrical system checked. l He's "looking" to contact the previous owner to get some info that will allow me to verify this to established remaining warrenty of the battery .....I should immediately sense shadiness, but he's a bit of an odd duck so i am entertaining a response from him, if it ever comes....
In the meantime, I'm sleuthing... I can clearly see the dealer that serviced this vehicle. Could I just call them, provide the VIN and ask about specifics of "service" provided on the vehicle.
Or..
I finally got my ODBII/leafspy stuff. Would I be able to use Leafspy to determine the validity of us new battery claim?
