Idk what I'm getting myself into here. I don't know the first thing about these or electric cars at all. I know she bought it, was disappointed because the seller lied about it's range. She/they drove it briefly and then moved on. Registration (California) is 3 years out of date but she thinks she non-opped it.

She's offering me the car for free. Just come get it.

Not asking to be spoon fed here (please spoon feed me!)

46k miles on the car I think.

2014 Nissan Leaf. Possibly total loss in an accident without collision coverage. How could I sell it best for salvage value, how much is it worth? I can add more photos for under the car to give a better view of whether the battery is still intact ? It had 10 bars.

Bought the car a month and a half ago 2017 leaf S. Owner provided nissan documentation of a new battery installed in December 2024 and it was driven 5k miles after the install. Gemini says this should last me about 10 years considering my driving commute (20 mi rt) but I know theres something shes missing and this sub will tell me.

Today while driving to work my dash lit up like a Christmas tree and said "Service Battery, power reduced". The leaf protected itself and put it into "limp mode" only allowing me to go 20mph tops. I pulled over and had it towed to the dealership, thinking that I had just overheated the inverter by driving it a little to hard in the early morning.

Just got the call from the dealership, the car has the "code of death" and the only way to fix it was to replace the battery but "Nissan isn't offering replacement packs". The dealer mentioned something about it being tied to the ongoing Level 3 charging recall and that I should expect a call for a buy-back.

I am this car's second owner, it has about 30k miles on it and never DC fast charged it so I'm not sure how the recall is related. Have any of you experienced this?

Did you do anything to get your buyback offer faster? Morley has had our paperwork for over a month (I think 45 days) and now the dealer is pushing for us to return loaner (our car has been at the dealer since early this year). We've made every payment on time on a car we can't use, are paying for gas, and cooperated at all points so this is just unbelievably frustrating.
