2 LEAFs there now, $28K with 5K miles and $27K with 13K miles....
Only reason to rent would be for an extended test drive.TomT said:I think one issue was that the rental cost was high compared to what a similar ICE would rent for... Many people probably said, "Why bother AND have to worry about range and chargers..."
Where were you reading ?ENIAC said:I can give you one data point. I was reading where year old LEAF rental cars are now being sold off which were never or very rarely rented. Many only had a couple of hundred miles on them.

Just as a point of reference, Rental Car firms have very firm parameters for rotation of vehicles out of their fleets. These are 1) milage limitations (usually 30K miles) or time in service (usually less than 1 year)evnow said:Where were you reading ?ENIAC said:I can give you one data point.

I doubt most of the used cars sold are rentals. May be people buying Leaf without realizing the limitations & selling them off in a month or two (like one Google guy who used to post here did ?).

And then when the 2015 models come out the pre 2015 models could loose a lot of value. Repeat.
The LEAF, as with 99.9% of cars, is not an investment. It loses money the moment you sign the dotted line and every day you still own it. Every few years a new, better, flashier, faster, more efficient, better equipped model of every car is on sale and the one you own goes down in value - it's just the nature of things. Add to that buying a first gen of anything you typically pay a higher price for something that will only improve of functionality and get cheaper in price.
Heck, my first generation Barnes and Noble Nook was $250 (a gift) and you can get one now for $89 that's smaller, has a clearer screen and better battery life.
With that being said, with the incentives we received for the car I think it's resale is doing quite well for being 1 year old.

Not if it was brought to LA from Arizona . It is at a Chevy dealer, it looks like somebody trade it in for a Volt.
