out of interest I fired up the LeafSpy (hadn't used it in over a year). SOH is a bit over 87%. I think around 85% is when it loses a bar.
it's had 21 quick charges, 878 L1/L2 charges. probably par for the course.

Depends on how old it is.

People tend to lose the first bar (<85%) around 4-5yr old.

Uh oh, mines at 4-5 years old :eek:


Still on 12/12, need to fire up LeafSpy again last I checked was before lockdown and it was at 91%, I'd say sitting around gathering dust for 6 months has done it no favours

Correct, it's another reason to see if a prospective purchaser has the funds to go from L24 to L30 as nearly all L24 now gone out of warranty and there's still years left in a L30 warranty and the kilometer allowance is quite generous.
Pure peace of mind, eg if I sold my 162 as a L24 then EV component warranty expires in less than a year, but as it's a L30 then all covered until 2024.
Used Leaf likely a second car in the house and/or first EV purchase so that extra warranty a good selling point.

Ugh, I didn't realise the warranty on the 24kWh was shorter :mad:


I was planning on selling my 2016 Leaf 24 next year, might need to accelerate that plan a bit

Didn't know leather was an option here, and it looks Irish. Maybe it's the images, but that's the first time I've seen a Kona and thought it looked well inside. Red looks great too.
Bargain indeed.

Just to update, I sold my 2015 L24 with 96K on the clock for €7800, there was a ding in the door that would cost €500 to repair. Battery was 91% SoH, for 60 fast charges and 1600 L2\L3s. I sold it to an EV dealer.
When I factor in savings on fuel, tax and servicing for five years, the total cost of ownership to me on the Leaf was €5000.
Good value I think.

unkel

EVs are great value as their cost of running is very low. But your above figure is not the total cost of ownership though as that has to include all costs, including the big ones like depreciation and interest

But yeah, it is well possible that if you buy a €4k EV now, that its total cost of ownership over say 3 years is lower than if someone gave you a similar age ICE car for free...

There's a lot of plastic and it's a bit tight but it's still a very good car. No love for them on here though.

unkel

I did a quick tally up of the total cost of ownership of my Ioniq that I bought brand new and kept for 3 years. Including depreciation, opportunity cost of money, tax, insurance, maintenance, servicing, tyres, tolls and fuel it cost me €225 per month or €8,100 over 3 years, everything included.

My last car, an old banger, cost me about the same per month on petrol alone

I think all the Irish 64kWh had leather, no ACC or LEDs though afaik.
Saw a new one (Single paint colour) in Waterford dealer on Sunday with a windscreen price of €42,500!

Ugh, I did some calculations on my Ioniq vs my old car. Ioniq is certainly cheaper, but the depreciation over the last 18 months has been pretty hard, but any car I was going to buy was going to depreciate anyways. Ioniqs were holding fast at ~21k for a while, then dropped to 18k around the start of covid.

unkel

Yeah COVID doesn't help. My Ioniq was for sale, but sale provisionally agreed and car to be picked up and payed for in a couple of days when all those imbeciles spread rumours via whatsapp that all supermarkets were going to be under armed guard by the army from that evening

And of course one of the main attractions of EVs is for people who do big commutes, they save themselves a fortune on fuel. When big commutes are mostly gone, there's a lot less of a reason to buy an EV.

We purchased our L24 SV at four months old with 1200 kms on the clock for €22.5K. We traded in a three year old 1.6 diesel fabia. My wife daily commute is 8K, suburb to city centre.
My comparison is based on what if we'ld kept the diesel and run it for five years.
Fuel, servicing and tax for five years, € 10K saving. Leaf needed one set of tyres and 2 sets of wiper blades, headlight bulb.
I can't see a diesel doing 95KKm without some major service such as dmf,dpf timing belt.
So 22.5 - 10 - 8, gives me 5K, for a much nicer car to drive.
We're going to try that again with an ID3.

thanks for the data here. I'll be revising my pricing down. That's a good level of SOH given the mileage.


Agree on the other posts re. cost of ownership. it can be very cheap TCO but you need to be doing the miles to get the benefit. I certainly ain't!

Ugh, I'd been hoping for €9500 for my 2016 Leaf 24 but my stats are worse than yours


Battery @ 87% SoH after 143 fast charges and 3076 slow charges.
57,942km on the clock


Reckon I better revise my pricing down

Is there not a counting error with L2 charges on the Gen1 Leaf where it double counts each charge? So 3k charges is really 1.5k. Think about it......you would have had to plug the car in twice per day to get to 3k L2 charges on a 2016 car.

Looking to sell my 141 Grey Leaf - 24kwH / 6.6 charger / 11 of 12 bars remaining. Perfectly functioning car but with two kids we had to go back to ice for now, apparently

That would make more sense, unless someone has been secretly charging my car during the day

Priced competitively, given the age and mileage and compared to others,

Done deal Link did not work for me

Telephone NCT , wait on hold for 20 minutes then they will add you to cancellation list and send you text within 2 weeks with Random date and time for test. Also check website after 11pm as cancellations go online late evening. Car is worth more and easier to sell with fresh nct. (Or knock 1000 off). Note most cars got 4 months free compared to paper cert on your window so check due date on nct site carefully as you may be due 4 months more than you think.

cloughy

Hopefully link works, NCT was out end June so extended to 31 Oct.

Will try and get NCT date, as torn between trading in, have 18d waiting for me ir holdong on and selling privately,

Assistance welcomed

In fairness you just post the full link anyway and boards will turn it into a link on it's own
The link seems to be working now.

Dublin based if anyone is interested let me know,

We sold our 09 Prius in February this year, just before Covid struck.
Same colour as yours, but the slightly higher spec one, with updated sound system, cruise and fogs. Mileage a little higher, iirc about 190K km. Our asking price was €4950. The car was an Irish car and had a full service history with Toyota, incl the hybrid health checks and according to Toyota was under warranty for almost a year more.



Within the first day of the ad, we had about 6 callers, a few of course time wasters, offering the usual 2K or less. There was one very interested, who came down the next day (About a 150 km drive), drove car and we accepted his close offer.



Back to your ad, I would suggest better pics, the one of the engine bay shows leaves not cleaned out and looks uncleaned. And the photo of the rear of car shows a lot of marks on the sill. Also the centre console armrest looks to be stained, may just be the pic, but ours cleaned up well before advertising.


Good pics help sell a car, also mentioning service history, health checks etc are also important.


Good luck selling the car, they are a good one..

Thanks for the comments, and yes I have cleaned the car outside and inside at the weekend, so will take more pics tomorrow and upload.

Also managed to get NCT booking for Thursday week, in another dublin centre, just refreshing NCT booking page, on Saturday morning could have got one for tomorrow, but thought I had someone buying the car, only today for them to pull out.

The seats have a bit of wear due to age, but scrubbed them today so hopefully look better.

Think the trade in allowance against a 181 prius is about 2,500, what realistically do you think private sale with NCT could achieve, as if not that much in it, would just trade in.

Getting a decent deal of €20k plus my Prius for a 181 Prius Luxory model, with less than 30k km on the clock, from main Toyota dealer, which I think is a good deal, what do others think?

I am out of touch with the prices of Prius now, but I would imagine you would do a better deal on the 181 even if you sell your 09 at the trade in price.

But there is a lot of convenience in trading in...
