I am considering purchasing a Nissan Leaf SV. I have two options. One has 26K miles with 12 capacity bars. The other is 34K miles and 11 capacity bars, with the premium package (not particularly important to me).
Complicating things is that the lower mileage leaf was manufactured before 4/2013, and the lower capacity leaf was manufactured after 4/2013. I understand from this board that the post-4/2013 leaf will have an improved battery.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or opinions to help me make up my mind as to whether or not I should bite at all, and if so, on which one. The low mileage, full capacity leaf costs $8,600. The other leaf costs $7,600.
I live in a flat area, and would mostly be driving 60 or 65 on the interstate. What sort of real-life range could I expect with one capacity bar missing?
