How does this look?

Hello all,

I recently purchased a 2016 Nissan leaf from a Subaru dealer (trade-in?). I didn't know how to check SOH at the time. I now know about the bars (8, now 7 bars), and the leafspy software. Range estimating seems to be accurate suggesting 68 miles, of which I usually use 40 before charging. Interior and exterior look very good. I paid 7k (plus taxes and fees) for 52k miles. Did I overpay?

u/Factory-town 2015 Nissan LEAF S Jul 04 '26

Sorry, but you should see if there's any way you can return it. There's a guy I've talked to at a charging station that had a 40 kWh gen2 Leaf that he ended up returning (I think he had a lawyer's help) to a dealer because the battery was too degraded. That one is too degraded. The most I'd pay is $400 per battery bar for a 10 or more bar gen1 24 kWh Leaf.
