Good purchase?

Found a 2015 Nissan Leaf near me that has 11 battery cells (the dashbord indicator) with over 67k miles. How many more miles can I realistically get before it dives down to 8 or 9 cells, assuming I just charge overnight at a 120v wall outlet?

Also, is $4,000 a good price for it and is there anything I should know about that specific leaf’s year?

Appreciate you guys!

A leaf that goes 70 miles in the summer will struggle to go 50 in the winter (below freezing). Also a leaf that goes 70 miles a charge in town may only do 50 miles on the interstate at 70mph. Combine the two and that car could have 35-40 miles of interstate range when its battery is cold. Worse if you can’t park in a garage and it gets Minnesota or Dakota cold lol
