Advise on Leaf Purchase, 2018 SV 40

[Bre620]

Hello everyone,

I might be a leaf owner... seeking your advise here. Is this leaf a good/fair buy. I suspect the low battery SOH is a result of the battery being charge to 100% for every charge at L1/L2. Report claims only one quick charge. I'll ask owner if that could be true.

Your expert advise on the report result is appreciated and welcome... Private seller wants KBB and is willing to go through online dealer for EV rebate.

First picture is after full charge.
LeafSpy reports screen shots following shows at 66%, charge to 100%, then after drive across town.
What do you experts think?




@ 66%:


later that same day after non use:


Next day after full charger to 100%:




Same day after drive:

If you can truly get the Federal rebate via an online service, then I suspect its a decent deal. There is some strangeness with the ODO readings in your pics. But the SOH looks about right for a 6 y/o battery. Not plummeting. I have a 2 y/o 40 kwh bat and its around 90. Put some real $$$ numbers up here. No one will sabotage you and buy it. There are just not that many people on this site.

But be aware --- the listed range of 130ish miles is NOT real unless you drive in a very specific set of circumstances. Slowish constant speed, not too hot, NOT too cold.

My 2016 with replaced 40kwh pack is really great around town, but if I go up to 65 mph (on a 70 or 75mph freeway, any slower and you run the risk of being ran over) on a cold day (say 30F) and want some defrost, I am lucky to get 100 miles. And heaven forbid I try 100 miles if its 0F outside.

Just be aware of Nissan's financial situation in the news. Who knows what is going to happen.

Huge red flag for me because LS doesn't match the dash. And you would expect 11 bars now but that could be imminent any day now. The saying if it's too good to be true ... has me wondering.

Based on the OP's location, I expect the car may have been from Canada, so it makes sense if the odometer is proving readings in km, while Leaf Spy is providing readings in miles:
70,664 km = 43,908 miles

Why the odometer shows "miles" instead of 'km" is another issue.

Thanks for the correction. 82.6 SOH is past the expected one bar loss at ~85%. I wonder what the lowest SOH is with 12 bars still showing.
