Well, looks like i wont be buying a leaf after all. My brother just bought a Tesla Model 3 performance and is going to “give” me his 2013 Volt. While the volt does not exactly meet my neeed to have 5 seats it is really hard to beat the price. Plus i can drive it back without stopping every...

I have looked at a couple of 2015 SL Certified Nissan Leafs. After looking at what the "Certified Pre Owned" Nissan program covers makes me believe that it is a complete joke of a program for the Leaf. It covers NOTHING for the car. Does not cover the battery or any of the important drive parts.

I am sure there is a kb on this, if so please point me to it. Other than the battery chem changes, are there any differences between a 2013 Leaf SL and a 2015 SL? Meaning, if i buy a 2013 Leaf SL with max options will it be the same as a 2015 SL with max options?

Problem with the Volt is that it only seats 4. I have 3 kids and on occasion need all 3 in the back. Also Oklahoma has age/weight limits on who can ride in the front seat of a car. I must have a car that seats 5. There are a few on my radar now in the sub $14k range that are 2015’s with...

Most every car i am looking at will be in the oklahoma, texas, kansas area. General summer temps in the 90’s. We have not had many scorchers the last 5 years above 100 for more than a day or 2.

I have looked at carvana but i dont think any of their inventory is in OKC. I contacted vroom.com about a car listed in okc but reality is all of their inventory is in Houston. Those listings are a sham to make you think the car is local when it is not. Also, i have seen a couple of...

Very big business here in Oklahoma. Heck there are even chains like Car Mart where that is their primary business model. Buy car at Auction for $3,000 or less. Sell car for $6,000. $500 - $1,500 down payment $200 a month car payment. Most will make 1 - 5 payments then default. Some never...

Well, i offered $7k for the car and they said they have more than that in it and the best option is to visit the store to make an offer. It is a 1.5 hour drive and i hate to go if the car will be much more than 7. Their Nissan store quoted $7,500 for a battery. Told them $7,000 for the car +...

Car Fax shows a manufacture date of 7/25/2013. Looks like it sat on the lot for a year before being sold. Looks like it was traded in to the dealer about a month ago. My thought is to offer $8k and see where that goes...

Oh, and thank you for your help. I have enjoyed reading the comments on this site the last few days.

I have been debating about buying a new leaf but really dont want a large car payment. Especially on a car that looks to lose value very quickly. It also looks like Nissan will release a 2019 model with a larger battery pack that may push the value of 2018’s even lower faster. So, that leaves...
