I'm considering buying a 2013 Leaf S with nearly 40K miles on it and 11/12 bars. I would be buying the car at auction with the intent of driving it a bit and reselling it later. I just returned my leased 2013 SL to NMAC because it had only 10/12 bars at only 25K miles. My SL had a manufacture date of 3/13. The car I'm considering buying has a manufacture date of 4/13. I remember reading on this board that the "lizard" battery chemistry was phased into US built cars 4/13 so this car should have the lizard battery correct? And if so is it "normal" to have lost one bar at this point?
Thanks for your help.
Full Disclosure: I'm thinking about starting an online used car dealership that is focused purely on EV's and PHEV's. However, I also really loved my SL and was sorry to see it go. Today my two sons told me they hate the smell of our gas car and wish we could get another EV...so I'm looking at this 2013 S or something else and I'm wondering if loosing 1 bar at 35-40K miles is normal. Thanks again.
