$9k for a 2015 is easily 30% too high.

I can't see where you are getting that opinion from? You can realistically expect to get that car for $6300???? I don't think so..

KBB says $9k private party, so maybe you're right.

But don't forget that new 40kWh 2018s can be had in several states for under $15k all-in. The 2015 has half the usable battery capacity, lower horsepower, and less time remaining on the warranty.

Market rates vary widely area to area. In states with larger incentives, I can see it.

Hgreg didn't want to move a single dollar so I wished them good luck selling the car and moved on. Although EV's are exempt from most tariffs where I live, they aren't from all so I had a real incentive to keep the price as low as possible. Found a Tesla trade-in at a reasonable distance for only 4k. Yes, it did loose 6 bars but that is enough to cover the Island where I'm currently living on and this summer the car will get the Mux treatment

Wish there were more posts on buying experiences, but I guess the forum reflects society: no buying happening.

I was originally in the market for a used under $10k, but when I realized I could buy new, more range, no mileage and no hidden issues for around $20k (with $7500 rebate), I refocused only new.

As for new: April has $3k Nissan rebates on 2020 and $3500 on 2019. Dealers are doing about $4k on top of that (for 2019s at least). Will May bring even more deals? It seems like a crazy time to buy with things the way they are, and further reductions almost certain at a time when nobody is driving, and 20% of people may not even have a job to drive TO.

When I bought my 2017 the new price was several thousand less than the locally available used prices, at least for an S trim model.

Now I'm thinking of buying a used 2013 for $5k and putting in a 40kWh battery for another ($6k?) but as you mentioned, new prices are not that much more and then you get a new car, newer tech, a warranty, etc, etc. The car would be for my folks and I'm not 100% sure they want one even though they really liked mine and asked about how much it would cost to buy one. I suppose I could give them my 2017 and keep the 2013 for myself but I don't really have time for a project like that at the moment.

My friend bought a 2016 in 2017 for about $16k, and with the $7500 credit ended up under $10K! Years later I was searching craigslist and couldn’t find the same 2016 for under $12k, and that’s with 50k miles on it and 4 years of time (and depreciation). I’m kicking myself for not taking that 2016 deal With him, and looking to come as close as I can now on a 2019.

looking at my first leaf and have tried 3 dealers. Best price so far is 36k out the door on a 2019 sv plus with tech package. This is with no fed or state incentives figured in. does this sound like a solid deal?

It’s not a bad deal for today, but demand has crashed, and better prices will be ahead, if you can hold in there.
