In In June of 2018, I bought a standard range Leaf S for $16,350, after all the discounts and tax credits. It's MSRP was $33,350. Two years later, in the middle of a pandemic, I sold it for $18,500. I paid $15 in maintenance during those two years to rotate the tires. The first rotation was...

In late 2017, I bought a 12 bar 2015 Leaf S. It was just off a one owner, three year lease. I am looking at the LeafSpy screenshot I took soon after I bought it. 28,950 miles SOH - 95% HX - 91.52% 369 Quick charges 593 L1/L2 charges.

Don't forget that if you are over 59 1/2 and don't have the full $7,500 Federal tax liability (or $15,000 in your case), you could do an IRA to Roth rollover to create the tax burden. I received the $7,500 Federal credit on both our '18 S and our '19 SV Plus, but not in the same year. For...

Yeah, I might have traded all of the fluff options I got for the All Weather option, but you have to work with what's in front of you. I watch our area deals for months before I pull the trigger. Surprisingly, I find the '19 SV Plus heater works exceptionally well and much better than our 2018...

I just grabbed the papers out of my file to refresh my memory. I paid slightly less than I said. 2019 Graphite SV Plus: MSRP $40,375 Manufacturer options: Protection Package, kick plates, splash guards, carpeted floor mats and cargo area mat, cargo cover, cargo net. Incentives and Discounts...

The myopic conversation about the (2018 and up) Leaf as compared to other EVs, fails to address its exceptional value. I paid $16,350 for my 2018 Leaf S ($33,350 MSRP). A few months back I upgraded to a 2019 Leaf SV Plus. I paid $22,435 (MSRP $40,435). Right now, no other EV offers the value of...

20 years ago, the paint on my brand new Honda started to fail. The dealership would not fix the paint job. The regional manager told me to take it up with the BBB, which I did. If the process is the same as it was then, and the dealership you bought the Leaf from is a member of the Better...

On 9/15/17, I bought an off lease 2015 Leaf S for $9325. It had 12 bars and was in perfect shape. When I got it home, I found the original lease papers deep in the glove box. The car had been returned just two weeks before (after a 3 year lease) and the end of lease purchase price was $12,892...

Those over 59 1/2, with an IRA, can do a partial Roth conversion to create additional tax liability. Convert just enough of your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA to reach the $7500 tax liability. Say you are retired and buy a new Leaf, qualifying for the $7500 Federal tax credit. If your Federal...

I will be parking my 2018 Leaf S for the next five months. It will be parked in a garage that will be around 45 degrees F. Are there any particular issues I should be aware of to make sure I am taking proper care of the main (and 12V) batteries?

Just yesterday, I bought a brand new Leaf SV Plus for $22,375 at Portland (OR) Nissan. MSRP was $40,375, but it had $18,000 in incentives. $2500 Oregon EV rebate, $2500 PGE (electric utility) rebate, $5500 Nissan discount, and $7500 Federal. All but the Federal tax credit were deducted...

Here is the Update I posted in June of 2018 regarding the matter. Find the Leaf Defects topic and discussion, here. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=25516 After replicating the random heavy braking issue, the dealership Leaf specialist consulted with Nissan technicians...

In late 2017, I bought a 12 bar 2015 Leaf S. It was just off a one owner, three year lease. I am looking at the LeafSpy screenshot I took soon after I bought it. 28,950 miles SOH - 95% HX - 91.52% 369 Quick charges 593 L1/L2 charges. With all the talk of battery heat and avoiding Quick...

For me, the Leaf is about embracing EV technology without sacrificing value. We could afford a 3, even an X or S, but we chose not to spend that much on transportation. Our 2018 Leaf S had an MSRP of $33,440. The dealer took off $4,144, Nissan offered $3,000 in incentives ($2,000 for being a...

This is the charger I use and I love it. I had a "dryer plug" installed just below our garage breaker box and it works fine. Very easy install. Drop out of the bottom of the box to the plug, then install the charger next to the breaker box and plug it in. It took the electrician 18 minutes to...

A month after we purchased our 2018 Leaf S, I filled out the obligatory email survey about the car. I mainly focused on my disappointment about the malfunction of the AEB system and the subsequent two week visit to the Nissan dealer while it was being fixed. As an aside, I mentioned a (plastic...

I have one of these units (10 months old) and really like it. Curious if Siemens did anything for you on the dead unit. It has a three year warranty. Were you just outside the warranty period?

We bought a 2018 Leaf S in June, so I just sold my 2015 S with 33,000 miles, 12 bars, 93% SOH. It was an off lease Oregon car when I bought it at a Portland Nissan dealer in September of 2017. I paid $9325, but sold it 10 months later for $10,750. The Northwest used Leaf market had gone up for...
