This week's EV bargain that I'm not buying V2

I've a 2015 L24 that's just dropped to 9 bars. It's got 212k on the clock, so yep seems like the L40 battery holds up better

No problem. I thought you were looking at the longer bars and mis-counted.

The circles represent real time energy consumption, almost like a rev counter. The 4 circles on the left represent regen in real time when the foot is taken off the juice pedal. The large bars on the right are the state of charge. 12 bars showing 45 miles gives an indicated 70km or so. 60 more realistic. Grand shopping trolley.

My previous Leaf is for sale. The in-laws picked up an ID.4 as they needed the range for long journeys (Dublin to Sligo).

Cheapest by a long shot. 7 bars remaining. No cabin heat…just heated seats, hence price.

NCT til May 2027. They have no space to keep it (as you can see, its parked on their path), so they are looking to move on fast. Few marks, but a genuine "this weeks bargain im not buying" because Im putting money aside for a larger solar inverter.

Boardsie discount available of course.

Something missing?

Ah. Easier to point out the typos, cheers.

😂. I only edited it once to fix the NCT date and delete the folding mirror repeat. The inlaws wanted the cabin heater mentioned, but i didn't want to write a paragraph. Anyone interested will know their Leafs anyway, but will also be explicitly told.

The lived reality though isn’t. I had this car for 5 years before my in-laws took it 4 years ago. I looked into fixing the cabin heater when I got the car, but it wasn’t worth the hassle. My FiL used a 12V heater to quick demist the windscreen in the colder mornings. Other than that, the car does what it needs to.

A 2026 car isn’t what’s advertised. What is advertised is a 14 year old EV that will cost pennies to run and has been inside my family circle for nearly a decade. I’d buy it back if I had the space to keep it for my next son who will be starting his driving journey next year.

This is a local run-bout. A learner car. A shopping trolley. I think whoever owns it next will get over what it lacks for the cost of it.

It's amazing how negative posts above about the same ad don't attract attention. Why single mine out.

I merely said in 2026 having to plug in an electric heater into what's on paper a newer car is a ridiculous proposition.

I never said anything about the price. Yes it's bargain basement and fair play we know why and the car would be grand for someone. But the point is fairly valid about the heater. That's not an unfair commentary.

I don't appreciate I'm singled out for saying anything about the ad when other posters above who said stuff that wasn't positive didn't get quoted and replied to or called 'a downer'.

Why ?

I actually would . That's the gas part 🙏

But I'd be tearing it down to fix 😄 couldn't be plugging stuff in. I'd be afraid actually of it burning out the wiring from the 12v.

Well maybe 1800 :)

But 800 is alot of pints.
