Good deal for broken 2919 Leaf

CANT EDIT TITTLE, ITS 2019, NOT FROM THE FUTURE!!!

My co worker has a 2019 SV plus that is broken and is willing to sell it for $3500.

The issue is that it stopped charging. It connects to charger, it is recognized by charger, but doesn't draw any power (only 0.3amps).

He took it to the dealership and they said is the PDM. Needs replacement.

I have seen them on eBay for $500ish. I'm experienced mechanic and studied electronics, currently work in industrial robotics. I'm very sure that I could follow the steps safely and do it myself.

He is not so confident and more or less ready to move on. If the insurance doesn't pay him for the repair $2-5.5k, then he will sell it as is, for scrap.

Let us assume nothing else is wrong with the car, and it has lived all it's life in the PNW so relatively cool climate, batteries should be ok. He only uses it for 50 mile commute, no supercharging if ever.

The car 62k miles .

Is this a good deal? Assuming batteries are in "very good" condition.

Thanks for the input.

Currently I have a 2012 Mitsubishi Miev, and is an ok electric car, but I desire more.

Charger Recommendations

I just made a down payment on a 2019 Leaf SV with 18k miles. Very nice car, it's the limited edition jade frost metallic color. Anyways, I do not yet have a charger at my house. Luckily, there are many charging stations near me with the Chademo so I'm good for the time being. But obviously, I need a charger at my house as well, and being a used car it doesn't come with one. Where do I go about buying the best at-home charger? This is my first EV, so friendly comments only. Thanks!

Recalls on 2026 Leaf

Edited to add that I am in the U.S.

I just found out about a battery recall when I went in for what was supposed to be a 2 to 3 hour visit to address the defective rear seat belt issue. They inspected my car's seat belt and determined that I needed the remedy, but then they said they had to order the part. Why tell me this will be a 2 to 3 hour visit when they don't even stock the parts? And then they mentioned there is also a battery recall; first I had heard of that, not for fires but for sudden loss of charge (?), for which they will need the car for several days to remove and inspect the lithium battery. After reading tons of "buy back" posts here my heart is sinking. I have loved driving my Leaf--I sure hope this does not become a huge thing. Oh, and I told them my tires were leaking air, and though they had the car from Friday through Monday they didn't even look at them. First world problems for sure, but an annoyance anyway.

The long-term feedback you’ve been waiting for is here!

2.5 years and over 100,000 km after upgrading this Leaf from 24kWh to a VIVNE 62kWh battery.

Here are some of the numbers:

Ahr: 180.0 Ah → 179.87 Ah

SOH: 100% → 99.93%

Hx: 97.66% → 97.59%

Cell voltage difference: 18 mV → 13 mV

Mileage: 205,614 km → 307,629 km

DC fast charges: 109

AC charges: 689

The car has now driven 102,000+ km with the VIVNE battery, and the owner recently drove it another 2,200 km from Dalian to Hubei. Video in the comments.

Joining the ev crew… 2014 Leaf

My job was trying to get rid of a test vehicle they bought at the auction to test our reman batteries. 300 bucks took it. Risk I took because I know nothing about it and no one here knew much about what was done to it, if anything at all. 103k miles and here’s the dash. Also needs a new rear window since someone broke it and the door handle to try and steal who knows what.

Is this saying anything good? I read about it having 12 bars as full. Is this 10 or 8? Do you count the red?

Charging at NACS (non Tesla)

I have done it a few times at different charging stations so far. It will NOT WORK at any Tesla Superchargers. Sometimes it will not handshake on the first try, but unplugging and plugging back in will fix it. But I think that’s just a quirk of using adapters. But basically I’m piggybacking A2Z Nacs to Ccs adapter to my A2Z Chademo to Ccs. All the CCS chargers were busy and obviously Chademo is non-existent lol.

2019 leaf buyback

I went in for the recall and my car was bricked. They told me to expect a call from Morely’s. Any ideas of what I can realistically expect as an amount? It’s a 2019 SL with about 69k miles on it.

Really freaking out because I just bought this car for my son in May.

4th LED on the granny charger.

For shits and giggles I was customizing the granny charger that came with my leaf. To my suprise I found out there's a 4th LED on the charger I did not know about. Does anybody have a clue what this LED indicates?

Lock switch back light not working

Im not sure if this is just a faulty wire or all LEAFs are like this, but the lock, unlock and window lock button are the only switches that wont light up at night. I swear I thought they are supposed to be lit up but I dont remember.

Its a bit hard to see them at night so I bought a whole new switch console that has backlit switches and those 3 switches still arent lit up.

Is this likely just a wiring problem or is this something that all LEAFs have in common?
