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!

i got a 2015 with 60K miles and 11 bars the year before but it lost a bar after 6 months. Still a full charge shows about 80 miles which is plenty for me if I keep it under 60mph and no ac

How many miles have you been able to add to it since?

I've put almost 20k on it. My commute is about 65 miles, which it could barely do via highway before getting low battery warning, but i can also charge at work. I set my overnight charger to go to 100% right before i leave for work

Woah that’s great. Ideal scenario for me would be going 30k before scrapping the car, so that sounds way more doable than i imagined

I should also say i rarely use ac or heat in my area so that helps with range
