I normally wouldn't consider a 2011 or 2012 due to the battery and heater, but recently a used one came on the market in my area that just had the battery replaced by Nissan under warranty. It is an 2012 SL model and they are asking $9,500. Price doesn't seem too bad to me considering it has a brand new battery.
I was wanting to stick with a post March 2013 model so I could get the 6.6kWh charging and heat pump, but this seems like it could be a pretty good deal.
I still have range concerns, my one-way commute is 32 miles. I live in the midwest, so we get some hot summers and some really cold winters. We do have level 2 charging at my office that is rarely used by anyone else. I'm probably more concerned with range on cold days when I have to run the resistive heater. I do plan on trying to pre-heat the car at home while charging in the morning.
Any thoughts or concerns I should consider?
