The tax incentive requires that you buy the vehicle at a dealer.

That's the keysavvy.com part the seller mentioned. I haven't looked into it deeply, but my understanding is that keysavvy acts as a middle-man in the sale, allowing the buyer to claim tax credits/rebates as if buying from a dealership. I assume that keysavvy must get some amount of the transaction but don't know how much.

Can the OP clarify if the asking price of $8750 is before or after the federal rebate? We have been shopping for a newer 62kWh Leaf but every time I find one that we could afford, after accounting for available federal and state rebates + a private sale of our 2014 SV, I find somewhere way down the webpage (and in very tiny font) that those rebates are already included in the listed price.

Yes, many dealers are committing advertising fraud by including the tax incentive in the price, allowing them to claim a "Great Price" based on KBB Fair Market Value, when their price is actually thousands higher that the highest KBB Fair Market Value!
This is fraud. I have been reporting them to the California Attorney General, who is looking for more cases. REPORT IT!

How on Earth are you only getting 150 miles out of a 62kw battery? I think you must have the 40kw upgrade. That's a150 mile battery. My 60 kw battery (now 53kw) still goes over 200 miles! (I do average 4.5 miles/kw, but still...).

While it's misleading and frustrating, I don't think it meets the recognized (certainly not the legal) definition of fraud if a full accounting of the price is spelled out in the fine print.

KBB prices are useful as a starting point or reference for both buyers and sellers, but don't really mean anything in the real world.

If KBB says my car is worth $5000 and I want to advertise it for $10,000, there's no rule/law that says I can't do that. If you're happy to pay $10,000 there's no rule/law saying I can't accept your money.

Similarly, if I want to price my $5000 car at $2000 because I'm hoping for a quick and easy sale, there's no rule/law saying I can't do that.

Every car is worth exactly as much as someone is willing to pay for it.

I'm not the OP, but the ad says:
"Price reflects keysavvy.com transaction with full electric vehicle federal tax rebate eligibility. "

So seems like actual price is $12,500. With the 30% tax incentive applied, that'd be al final price of $8,750.
KeySavvy costs approximately $200 so not sure who is paying that fee?

Based on their reasons for selling, perhaps this car does not have DC Fast charge option?

Also, see that it is at ~86% Health which means it has degraded 14% already.

While the dash shows 12 bars, it may be dropping to 11 bars soon.

LeafSpy does show 25 quick charges, so why is he selling the car?

The battery had 25 quick charges while it was in a 2019 before that car was totaled and the battery installed in my car. None since, as I lack L3.
You are correct; I’m looking for L3 capability and some autonomous capability. I have some evening commutes and I’m 60. Back in 2013, there were no quick charge locations in OR.
You are also correct that during this limited time I could recover some of the equity in the pack upgrade.
I’ve actually reduced it to 7750, _which is the price the buyer pays_ but I’m pretty firm. Having a cheap-to-keep paid off EV is great too!
I listed the 150 range based on my real-world OR freeway (70 mph) speeds, heat pump on in the winter, not the guess-o-meter. I also only charge to 100% once per month. Of course when I have 40 mph commutes in summer, I get more. Beside, yes, I will lose the 12th bar soon as mentioned.
I’ll pay the keysavvy fee.
