Kids are starting school in the fall so after 5 years of being a single car family, we needed a second car. Main car is a Kia Niro (45mpg aint too shabby). Second car only needed to drive a few miles each day to drop kids off in the morning so we had wiggle room on the range. Found a local deal with several California Buyback titled Leafs that were decent mileage. Ended up with a 2019 Red SV with the technology package. 46k miles with a brand new battery from Nissan. Car showed 100% battery health and 150 miles of range but that was expected since it was most likely all reset. Got it right under $10k and it still has just under 3 years left on the battery warranty.

Got the OBDII dongle and Leafspy gave some really interesting numbers that explains why it needed a new battery lol. SOH is 97.13%. The odo says 28,596 which is interesting. 500 Quick Charges. Being from southern cali with that many quickcharges means that it definitely just toasted the battery.

Outside of the initial trip home of 30 miles the longest drive was yesterday. 10 miles and the GOM went from 150 to 140 with 93% remaining. Seems spot on. Loving the car so far just hoping that battery does actually hold up. Hopefully the worst that happens over the next few years is degradation but like I said, I only need to drive a few miles each day so I was willing to take a gamble. Lost of info here which has helped me so thank you all!
 
I also got new to me 2019 SV with technology and winter package 2 months ago. I am the 4th owner. It has 82.5k miles on it with the original battery. I live in Minnesota so not as toasty as California. The last owner was a Door Dash driver and put 35k in a year on it. It has all bars and mostly level 2 charged. I am getting 145 miles in the city and 130ish on the highway so far. We’ll see how much my range will drop in the Winter. Loving it so far😊

The price you buy is very good for what a 2019 SV brings. Perhaps I will also consider buying another similar one for the family to move more conveniently. By the way, can you share where you found it to buy? Would be grateful to receive a response!

Atlanta, GA in the USA. Place was called Atlanta Best Used cars or something like that. They did actually have two of them there. Checking again they have a new one. This place definitely likes doing the buybacks from Nissan and reselling them. 2018 with 22k miles for < $10k. If you qualify I think you can also get $4k tax rebate which is just insane.
