    Budget 12-13k


    You could get a 30kWh Leaf and buy the adapter slave1 showed earlier


    Other than that, seems like the 22kWh Zoe is the only option in that price bracket


    Personally I'd get the 30kWh Leaf and live with needing to use an adapter. It's got more range, more space and rapid charging and probably 4 years left on battery warranty

    Budget 12-13k

    There was an Ioniq sold from a reputable second hand used EV specialist last week for €13900. Now that was very cheap, but if she can up the budget a bit, another Ioniq might be on the cards. Far better value than spending similar money on a first generation Leaf. Alternatively, the first gen BMW i3 would also be within budget, and if she can up the budget by a few thousand, she'd get the later, 50% more range model

    Or just keep most of the budget and spend €6-€7k on a 2014-2015 Leaf 24kWh with the newer chemistry and roughly 100km range in summer

    2 Ioniqs in the driveway might get confusing, especially if they wound up being the same colour :D

    Saw that one exact same colour as well. Would be weird and good at the same time. Looking at a 171 Leaf tomorrow in a garage 15k with 80k Kms on the clock.

    Silly expensive imho. For €15k you should be able to buy a 171 Ioniq if you keep an eye out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,595 ✭✭✭patmac


    Was thinking that, was going to have a look anyway. There is one for 12500 a few posts back on donedeal, might bid on that if we like this one.

    I assume the Ioniq is superior, seems to have an extra 40km range for a start and of course I love the car��


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 65,936 ✭✭✭✭unkel
    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Well it's up to you, looks like she doesn't need the extra range of Ioniq. Leaf is a great car, but very old skool now. You are guaranteed a higher total cost of ownership on a 12k 2016 Leaf 30kWh than on a 15k 2017 Ioniq over a few years. Unless there is something in the Leaf that you don't like or can't get in Ioniq, it would be a poor choice of car to buy.

    Don't forget a 2017 Ioniq still has a full year of bumper to bumper manufacturer's warranty remaining too...

    I wonder would it make more sense to get a 24kWh Leaf for around €9k and save yourself the €6k versus a 30kWh?



    I feel like the 24kWh Leafs have lost a lot of value in the past couple of years so you can pick one up with decent battery health for fairly good value. The 30kWh ones are holding their value for now but they could have a big drop in the next year or two


    I guess the debate is whether you go cheap(ish) now and minimise the losses or take the risk of spending more now and hoping the value doesn't drop too much in a few years


    It's also worth considering how long your wife wants to keep the car for. If she'll want to change in a few years then future value becomes important. If she's likely to drive the car until it's ready for the scrapheap then you'll want a car that'll last a long time

    Cheers for the recommendation but it's still a bit pricey for what I want it for. If I just use it for the excess solar, it will be a long time paying for itself, especially when the FIT comes in.

    I'll keep an eye out for a second hand one or the Type 1 cable. If the adaptor you linked worked, I can't see how a similar homemade one wouldn't work.

    Thanks for all the replies, looks like a 2017 Ioniq or a good, healthy 24kw leaf. What is the best things to look out for on the Leaf?

    I wasn’t selling but got a knockout offer for it, so it went today. Would have looked at another Model 3 performance but lead time was too long.

    Replacement is electric, pics will follow soon :)

    Has got to be a Taycan so :D

    Would you mind sharing how much you got for your Model 3 Performance - it was an early 2020 car I presume?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 992 ✭✭✭bf


    I’ll drop you a PM on pricing, agreed to keep that private with the purchaser as my car was never advertised for sale. It was a 192, one of the earlier registrations.

    And no, unfortunately not a Taycan!

    Is that the "MASTERPLUG 10A 2.3KW MODE 2 TYPE 2 SOCKET ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING CABLE 5M"? Just new to the whole EV thing so wasn't 100% if this was the right one for a 2015 Leaf 30kwh. If it's the right one consider it bought!

    Type 1(round shape connecter) is what you need,not type 2 (D shape)

    Best of luck with the car.

    No official ad yet, but most likely selling my Ioniq shortly.

    171 reg
    ~69k km
    Just NCT'd
    Only difference from stock is the front and rear bumpers are wrapped in black, and there's a boot liner in the boot.
    New 12V battery too (think the motor factors said there's 2 years warranty on it, and I only bought it last month).

    I'll get a price in the next couple of days. Have to suss out viability of a replacement first.

    Only difference from stock is the front and rear bumpers are wrapped in black, and there's a boot liner in the boot.
    New front tyres less that a year ago, and not like i've driven much.
    New 12V battery only last month (think the motor factors said there's 2 years warranty on it).
    Still under full warranty
    Battery is at 100% health

    Still no ad, but if anyone on boards is interested or knows anyone interested, i'll take €16250, if not i'll be putting it up on Donedeal for a few quid more in a few days. I think it's pretty fair given what's advertised at the moment. Only the black 120k km one is cheaper @ 15k.

    You taking part ex? That would make your car a lot more appealing to a lot of people. It's tough going buying a car and then having to sell your own after. And if you try sell your own first when you see a bargain other car you want to buy, you're pretty much always going to be too late and miss out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,419 ✭✭✭✭ELM327


    Ideally not but if its the difference between sale and no sale I will. Particularly for an EV/hybrid/something interesting.

    I did have a look. TBH (and FYI) what you've spent on the car recently helped put me off it. Wasn't the main reason, but it does highlight that the model S is a pricey car to maintain. Main reason is the same for all S's - the size.

    I'm actually talking to someone about trading his leaf24 + cash for mine (re unkel's trade in comment earlier).
    Outlander are a grand car but sure they are nearly as big as an S. I really don't get the whole "size" issue. It's no bigger than any other premium sedan.

    Amazingly charging an Outlander at an FCP looks to be cheaper than Petrol even on the PAYG rate. Goes to show just how expensive fuel is
