Cor, lately I have seen a few of these older Leafs with a similar problem IE
diminished battery pack and am wondering if one could simply just
"troubleshoot" the existing pack and replace the sub par modules? I have not
worked on one yet so I have no idea if that is even feasible let alone
advisable, I just have seen "good used" modules on Ebay for $100 or less and it
got me to thinking about this tactic. On the other hand you mention that
particular 2011 Leaf with a "new" battery pack, I am curious - are you
replacing the 2 batteries in each module (essentially "rebuilding" the modules)
or have you simply found a reasonably priced supplier of new OEM replacement
modules? I am in AZ and I would possibly be interested in looking for a
discounted Leaf in my area to "rehab". Like I said I have seen a couple similar
deals where they appear to be going cheap as the current owners are afraid of
what they might view as a rapidly diminishing pack. Would value your input on
this. Regards Dach.

agreed with such a view.” - Aldo Leopold

Subject: [EVDL] Anybody interested in 2011 Leaf with new pack for $8k?
Two months ago I bought a 2011 with a new battery for $8800 so I am not
waiting to buy another Leaf at this moment,
but a local Leaf owner is trying to sell his 2011 Leaf SL (the most
luxury version) for cheap since it lost 3 bars and he
has changed job so he no longer needs it.
I can install new modules in a Leaf battery so the total price comes to
$8k (I should have waited with the other Leaf I guess
but I did not know in advance that this would come around)
so you would end up with a nice Blue 2011 Leaf, I believe it has 63k mi
and no other blemish than a shallow scratch
on the front bumper due to a shopping cart (did not even break the
paint, just left an indent)
and the best is that it will have its original range, some Leaf owners
even report better than original range.
Let me know - don't wait too long with expressing interest as I need to
tell him if I put down a deposit to hold the vehicle,
else he might sell it any day...
