I bought a 2013 leaf with 32% soh with plans to replace the battery. I have not had the time to locate a battery. Anyone in the Chester country, Pennsylvania are want to make an offer?

You did it backward! Buy the battery first--that is the hard part.

You're right, lesson learned. If someone has a battery, this car would be a great option.

I'll give you $300. Maybe post a dozen pictures and an asking price if you want to get serious inquiries.

Are you looking for a new battery or an original, high-SOH battery?

This is how you get battery packs for decent deals.

This one doesn't have much damage so probably won't be a great deal but worth watching.

Why is that in a salvage sale? I don't see any damage. Says clean title. Nobody is buying that for the battery. Should still be under warranty.

Oh wow, I didn't look at it that closely but damage is listed as "Wear and Tear" o.o. Very weird that it's for sale on insurance auction... repossession maybe?

Well dang, now I may actually have to bid on this thing. I do like that color.

One reason that vehicle could be at auction is dealer buyback for failing cell. Also slightly possible the pack was harvested already and a bad pack placed in there for auction. This is happening.

My understanding is that is mostly happening on car-part.com since anyone can sell there, and not so much on the insurance auctions, since you need licenses and expensive paid memberships to sell there.
