Hi all, It's been great owning a LEAF, definitely one of the most fun cars I've owned. I turned my 2012 SL with 33k miles yesterday. I was thinking of buying it out but the residual is way too high. I got myself a used fully loaded 2012 Volt with 42k miles for exactly $15k at another dealership in CT in pristine condition, leather, bose, rear view cam except GPS. So far I really like the volt except for the fact that it has really bad rear visibility, other than that the suspension on the Volt is tuned more sporty and less on the comfort side, im fine with that. Surprisingly when you floor the accelerator on the volt even in sport mode it doesn't feel as torquey as the Leaf but when you look at the speedometer you do see the speed climbing faster than the leaf would.
I have a 2" tow hitch I removed from the leaf, If anyone is interested I'm giving it away for free, local pickup, I'm in westchester NY, all you would need to buy is two big machine bolts from home depot or somewhere and fish on to the chassis frame, the other two bolts that go on the passenger side I was able to remove before turning in the car. I'll post pictures of it later.
