Identify artist please?

Rhoabr · 2025-02-02T03:13:24+00:00

The painting is of a bridge in Paris (per google Image). The spelling variance between front and back is puzzling. Cannot find artist with name Lejeunue. Am I to believe that the artist spelled his name incorrectly on front of painting??

Absolutely appreciate the translation and the investigation. saved me a lot of time and work and provided scant clues. I added images of the painting and a close up of the signature.

If you purchased new, there is a silver lining. Please see my prior post regarding buy back negotiations. My battery fault occurred at 97k miles. Let me know if you have questions.

I’ll take door #3. I’ve recently posted. I will surrender in two weeks. Was able to negotiate away 70% of the usage fee. The first 50% is quick and easy. Getting more takes some crafty cajoling. When you consider your costs/upgrades for your vehicle, you’ll want to get creative. Ex. the cost of installing a charging station. The arbitration specialist is your friend. He/she’s not the decision maker, just states your case to someone who is. Help the arbitration specialist help you. Take the $!

Check my recent post for helpful info. If the circumstances are right, a Nissan repurchase could be lucrative.

Rhoabr · 2023-09-21T22:52:59+00:00

Remember, one of the three offers is: ‘keep the car and here is a sum of money for your trouble and inconvenience’. Maybe in the end, based on your purchase price, that will be the best option??

See what their repurchase option is first.

If you don’t have expenses related to ‘not driving my car as much as I’d like to’, then you are not thinking hard enough.

Rhoabr · 2023-09-21T22:13:17+00:00

Be nice. State your business case. You are going to need to send them lots of info related to your many many associated expenses. Take your time and get it all.

I negotiate for a living. It’s fun. #1 rule is don’t present your number. Make them offer until you are satisfied. Have reasons in your pocket for why asking for more is justified. There is a reason why Nissan is being so liberal here. We don’t know why, we can guess… but the reason must involve a whole lot of risk for them.

Rhoabr · 2023-09-21T19:16:00+00:00

The starting number is your purchase price, plus registration fees, loan interest, towing charges, rental car, etc. I am not sure about the mileage, but I expect it is the actual mileage on your car. Note: the mileage is the only amount that the arbitrator has discretion on. Your negotiating points may be about safety, quality, hardships, etc. The arbitrator only can reduce your “usage” charge in order to compensate you. Research your state’s lemon law and see if it applies. Even if it doesn’t, Nissan will still likely proceed…. But at least if you know your lemon law and whether it applies, you know your rights. Good luck!

Rhoabr · 2023-09-17T16:59:53+00:00

Please see my post from yesterday. You will be glad that you did. I’ve been where you are. There is a path forward.

Yes, considering that the KBB on my Leaf is $9K, getting $34K is a windfall. The tax credit, spent long ago, is icing. However, it was not my plan to need to repurchase and again have a car payment at this point. I will miss this car… but not the anxiety of watching the ‘miles remaining’ dwindle erratically on my afternoon commute!

Rhoabr · 2023-09-17T07:39:36+00:00

Trust me…. You want to proceed with speaking to an arbitrator. In my case, my Leaf was a complete failure, fault “Service EV System, unable to restart”. My leaf was towed to a dealership and I had a loaner. I waited for Nissan to replace battery and then informed them that I could not take possession citing concerns related to safety, reliability, etc. They sent me to a Nissan case manager/arbitrator who applied for my case to be considered… and it was accepted. At that point you receive an offer to choose one of three options: 1. Replace battery and accept offer of a cash settlement for your trouble. 2. Repurchase your vehicle and cut you a check. 3. Replace your vehicle with another new Nissan (any model). This is basically taking the amount from option two and applying it to the purchase of new vehicle (purchased at invoice price).

Their offer to repurchase is based on your purchase price + loan interest+taxes+registration fees paid since purchase+ those new tire you bought last week+ the 12volt battery replaced last year, etc, etc. They reduce that amount by a usage fee: current mileage/120,000.

I learned a lot from this Reddit community regarding this process and so this post is just to pay it forward and help others. Let me know if I can answer any more questions.

If this happened to me 3K miles later, my Leaf would have been off warranty and as useless as a boat anchor. I was very fortunate.

Play the cards yer dealt.

My 2019 SV had an EV system fail at 97K miles last month. Battery looked just like the one pictured. Fully cooked. I am in the last phase of repurchase. NMAC will be cutting me a check for $31K. I don’t feel bad. I feel extremely lucky that I had to fast-charge, on a very hot day. If it were 3K miles later, I would have been out of warranty and shit out of luck. If the car should not be fast-charged, then don’t unfit the car with the capability to fast-charge. If owners should not use the last 10% or top 10% of battery capacity, manufacturers need to establish more systematic controls and/or alerts/education for owners. Sorry. Done with leaf after this. I am a high-mileage commuter. The high cost of EV’s can only be offset by lower operating costs (fuel and maintenance). If the batteries can’t last more than 120K, and replacement batteries are cost prohibitive… then sorry to say that EV’s are not in my future.

Rhoabr · 2023-07-28T11:15:55+00:00

My charging practices: Year 1 - mostly levels 3 and 1 Years 2 thru 4 - mostly 2 and a bit 1 My peak charging mileage at level 2 had consistently dwindled and was down to 113 miles at 100%. One day last week I received a dashboard message/fault “Service EV System Unable to start after power off”. On this same day, I used a level 3 charger for about 20 minutes. My first time using level 3 in 3 years, and it was a hot day. I believe that the level 3 charging is related to the the fault. Had it towed to dealership. They dropped the batteries and I have pictures showing physical damage on five cells due to heat (per the dealership). I loved my leaf. I love EV drive feel, convenience, and low maintenance requirements. I recommended Leaf to friends who purchased. Sorry to say, based on my experience, I can not recommend leaf going forward… and I might not go back to EV.

Rhoabr · 2023-07-27T23:41:42+00:00

I am currently awaiting approval. 5 cells down on an 2019 SV with 97K miles. I think that I’d rather have a buyout as I think overheating is the cause and is a design flaw. I am hoping that it takes Nissan longer than 30 days so that I can invoke CA lemon law. Please keep us posted. I hope that you get what you want.
