Yeah, after reading more into it, maybe it's not as exciting as I hoped. But, it may work for my needs. I'd rather spend 3k on a replacement even if it will last half as long as a new battery @6k.
I very much doubt that the refurb pack will last half as long as a new one, and I willing to place a bet that the warranty will not be anywhere near that long. The real value of the new pack is 5y/60k warranty (presuming it is still in effect.)
But regarding coming up with $6k, Nissan has a payment plan that I think works out to ~ $100 a month. Something to consider.
All valid points...I'm more worried about getting the car totaled after shelling out 6k...I'm sure my insurance company wouldn't cover the value. What happens if I'm paying 100/mo on the payment plan and something happens.? Do i have to pay the remaining balance in full? I'm good for now, but by next year my Leaf won't be able to have enough juice for my daily commute.
You would have to pay the balance.
Do you remember that famous line from the mafia movie "Godfather" that you can insure anything ?
I presume *someone* is willing to provide more gap insurance for the right monthly payment.
