Crap, I paid many multiples of that for my place, without a house. We had to build that !!!

Stoaty said:Never heard of hyperbole? - an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.” If this is the best example you can provide, I'll stick with Tony.EVDrive said:Above you stated that the Leaf costs half the value of a house.

Please accept my condolences.TonyWilliams said:My 23 year old son just bought one in Feb 2012 in Phoenix for $65,000. We just sold it after his death for $85,000.
EVDrive said:Sure maybe it was a hyperbole, still it is ironic in the context of building a legal case against Nissan for overestimating the Leaf's range. Maybe the irony was lost on most people, not on me. And yes, you could get a trailer or a manufactured home on wheels for 70k but that is not the average in the USA. Sure you could even buy a cabin for 70k, still not the US average. Tony you don't have to take my advice. And for the record I wish I could buy a house in the bay area for 70k, that would be sweet.

i have to say it was a new one on me. But if the LEAF did test on such a thing and get 100 miles then we dont have much of a case here do we because that is the only 100 mile claim i am aware of not to mention we have a thread detailing people who have driven 100 miles and there are a lot of them.

wow! my ex neighbor paid $65,000 for a bare lot just under 3/4 acre in size about 18 months ago when prices were actually lower than they are now. put another 11,000 in for utilities and septic. didnt even get timber rights. he says he heard they got almost $10,000 for that
bioburner said:In regards to the original thread about the class action law suit, does anybody know anything about the status of the suit???? I have a 2011 Leaf sv with 3800 miles on it and lost my first capacity bar/dot at just over 3600 miles. The local dealer says that the batteries also degrade over time not just number of cycles. We bought the car new only 13 months ago. We files a complaint with NNA customer service but they refuse to even acknowlage I am complaining about lost battery capacity and insist I am complaining about a charging problem. I'm tired of being ignored by Nissan North America and we are ready to get professional ( legal) help.
what do you think the ROI would be? I am always on the look out for opportunities to make some moolaztanos said:DaveinOlyWA said:ztanos said:Here in Georgia, house prices are much much cheaper than the avg.

Yeah, there are houses around here that are going for less than $50k and they look nice. Wish I had a little money to throw at them for rentals.
Hmmm, 3800 mi in 13 months works out to about 10 mi per day. That's just about my commute although I seem to have doubled your mileage in a year from other recreational trips (see signature). So, if the battery loses 9 bars and degrades by 75% (25% or the original or about 3 bars), you should still be able to travel 0.25x72mi=18mi. Sounds like your good for the next 20 years:bioburner said:In regards to the original thread about the class action law suit, does anybody know anything about the status of the suit????
