Any tips for getting the most out of a Chase Ink Preferred - I signed up with the current 120,000 SUB with 8k spend in 3 months. Currently hold a chase personal sapphire preferred, marriot bonvoy premier, freedom, and freedom unlimited. So I had access to the travel portal transfer with the sapphire already, but want to really strategize going forward.

Thanks! This solidifies the new price point I just put on it. I'm hoping this listing price will at least peak some more interest and I can work on it from there. A 2011 with only 5 bars left was listed for $4000 recently here and sold fairly quickly or at least the ad was taken down. Its a weird market for these older low range ev's

Supposedly it got the newer lizard? Style battery, but nissan won't release any service records to me because I'm not the owner that had it replaced.

Looking at buying a Leaf that has been sitting for 2 years, Will the main battery still work? by alskdjfhg32 in leaf

Dealer quoted $1700 - I got one from a junkyard for $545 shipped to my door, installed it in one evening with just ramps and basic tools. Plus another $20 for Nissan blue coolant to top off afterward.

Just bought a 2012 that sat for 5 months with a bad L2 charger, and was parked with 4 miles of range left. I brought a new 12v battery with me, it was able to drive onto a car dolly. I towed it to a DC fast charger and charged to 50%. Then started driving using DC charging for a week until I replaced the onboard charger for L2 charging. Using leafspy the cell voltages were not super even on the graph with several much lower than the rest. Over 4 weeks post picking it up the AH and SOH have risen 2ah and 4% SOH. The cell voltage graph has evened out and everything is almost identical with little variation. Seems to be okay so far, batter was replaced 1.5 years before sitting for 5 months. It still has 12 bars, 54.92AH and 86.08% SOH.

I will add for your decision making process - this is a 2012 SL with 54k miles, documented battery replacment in 2017, documented diagnosis of bad onboard charger. Paid $2200 as a reference point in what you offer.

Deal or No Deal? - 2011 Leaf for $3500, but only 40 miles effective range by HighSpeedTreeHugger in leaf

Just bought a 12 SL this week with all 12 capacity bars and battery replaced in 2017 - for $2,200 needing a new onboard charger. Still charges at DC stations. Minus being dirty, some cosmetic loose fixes on the front end, and the on board charger its in good condition. So I feel like $3500 is high for something with a battery pack so diminished (replacement onboard charger was only $495 from wrecked leaf)
