No argument here. If you can get a new Leaf SL for a net price of about 23k, you should storm down there now and get one.

Yes. I think the line is about $25,000 or so. If you are going to spend more than that you should consider a new one, if you expect to see the tax benefit. I did almost pull the trigger on one of those nice lease deals before I bought my used Leaf. This is not a bad idea for alot of people...

One of the reasons to consider used is if you are not expecting a tax liability large enough to be worth the difference in price between new and used. That can be the difference of ~3k-10k depending on your tax liability. Some (like me), think that is enough $ to make the difference. The...

$22k 8,000 miles Mine had a few extras on it like tinted windows and rock-chip guard.

Congratulations! I think I saw that one online (is it blue?) when shopping for mine. I bought a used 2011 also last month and it has been great. I had a hard time justifying the new EV price not paying for itself in lack of gas bill for about 6.5 years, so I was happy to have someone else pay...

I am updating this thread now that my hatch is fixed. I took it to the dealership yesterday and they verified that it was a disconnected (or maybe he said 'loose') wire near the hatch handle. They were able to identify and fix the problem within about 45 minutes. No cost because still under...

I was able to open the hatch manually by opening the plastic cover on the inside and pushing the white lever. I took this step because I wanted to see if something was stuck in the latch or if it wasn't closing properly. I discovered that it looks fine mechanically, opens and closes with the...

Is there a manual emergency hatch release inside the car somewhere?

Fair question. Yes,I'm pushing the larger button. It was working before.

Yes.I've tried that. Actually,I thought might have been what started the problem. That button is working to lock/unlock the other doors. Just not the hatchback.

I think I pressed a combination of buttons that locked me out of my rear hatch. Can someone help me. Things that I've tried: -clicking and double clicking fob unlock. -clicking and double clicking door unlock. Help please.. :?: :!:

I won't post exactly how I verified the dealer's story about this Leaf being locally owned, but here is a tip for those of you intending to trade in a car that has a navigation system - Make sure that you remove your address history first (especially if one of them is labeled "Home"). :)

Some of the usuals like tinted windows and internal protectant. and also some that I would not have thought of like a Cilajet paint treatment and a full Clear Bra rock chip kit. All of the treatments seem to be done very nicely. I am happy with them. I am hopeful that they will help the car...

Yes. I think so, but it is a bit tough to guage in this new market. Blue book was about $25k-26k for 2011 with 8k miles. I calculated that there were about 5k+ worth of add-ons with original purchase. I negotiated $22k. No sales tax for EV in WA - this made me happy. With these details, I...

In that case, I hope to be able to offer something to this forum about my coming experiences with this Leaf. There were about 6 or so in the south of Seattle area that I had to choose from. I liked this one for the extra things that the original owner added and the perfect condition it was in...

First post on this site. Hopefully I don't embarass myself. I just picked up my Leaf 2 days ago, and used this forum extensively during my research phase. I ended up getting a used 2011 SL. I am very happy with the quality of this used Leaf. I don't see a lot of posts from people that have...
