I think this is the worst story on this forum
...I decided I would sell the M3 and buy my 3rd Leaf knowing full well that the Leaf is certainly not comparable to Tesla but will serve my purpose of having an EV for around town driving. During final negotiations with the Nissan sales manager who I bought my previous Leafs from I asked if he had any interest in my M3, and he agreed to match the Carvana $39k on trade which saved me $900 in sales tax. So for a 2020 Leaf S MSRP $34,610 my net cost was $20.150.
The Leaf doesn't have liquid battery cooling or the ability to set charge levels. The latest generation models are not holding up well on the battery degradation side because of these design flaws. Also, I was talking to a Nissan representative recently and found them to be rude. Before it's too late, you should trade in your Leaf and get another Tesla. All Teslas have liquid battery cooling / configurable battery charge levels.
Nissan has some work to do on both the design and customer satisfaction sides.

Too late, I think OP fled the scene immediately after posting.
OP only posted 40 times since 2013 so he posted here just to show off.Too late, I think OP fled the scene immediately after posting.
If ever there was a case of ‘should have consulted the forum first’
I thought he meant his "net cost" was $20,150. So, he made $4k on the trade, due to high valuation, tax credit and sales tax. Presumably, he must have knocked off $10k in price negotiations. He's proud of his car-buying skilz cause he's so experienced.I tend to buy and sell cars very frequently. My wife's father and brother were Ford dealers so she grew up accustomed to there being a new car in the garage every few months. I read a WSJ article recently reporting that used car values have risen due to the post lock down buying boom. I have also been following Carvana's business model and decided to see what they would pay for my '19 M3 standard range. Input the data - white, 19" wheels with 3200 miles. They replied with an offer of $39,000 or $1,300 more than I paid for the car last year not counting the $1,875 tax credit.

OP - congrats on the sale! I Also traded in a Tesla with Carvana at a very good price but I traded it in for another Tesla.
I'm not going to hate on you for buying a Leaf 'cause it's also electric, and I'm sure it suits your needs.
