In Reply to: An $8,000 battery. Let's pause there ... nt posted by free.ranger on September 9, 2021 at 08:07:47:
Is an eight year old Leaf worth $8000? Maybe.
When my daughter went to the Subaru dealer last week to pick up the plates for the car we bought her, our salesrep told her he'd sold the 2014 Impreza we'd traded in. It had 75k miles on it and was in good shape. He told her they'd gotten $14k for it.
So maybe $8k for a new battery isn't more than the car's worth. At least in today's used car market.
Although, I would not have an electric car. IMO, they're not ready for prime time.
