Battery dies quickly,cost of replacement is 20000t. we were also told by Nissan dealer that the litium battery is not available or manufactured by Nissan anymore.
We made the big mistake to get a used Nissan leaf with 80 000 miles! Sadly it not not like the regular engine, that can be fix or refurbished.
So put your money in

Battery Degrading
It's a great car. The only problem is that the battery is dying. The range for driving the used Leaf was 50 miles. Now, it's between 26 to 32 miles. But, it's such a great car, I'll drive it until the battery dies. I've saved thousands of dollars by not buying gasoline,. Unfortunately, a new battery costs $5,000 and a used one
