I bought a used Leaf for $11K about 5 years ago. Best car purchase I've ever made. I still have a ICE vehicle for road trips, but man do I like the way electric engines produce power!

Used EVs can be a great deal! I've had my eyes out for a good deal on a leaf for ages, but not many pop up in my rural area.

Leafs have problems with battery life but they are popular in Southeast Alaska because it’s not really possible to drive very far. They import them used from the lower 48.
