I noticed on the Leaf owner's forum that members are claiming a rise in used Leaf prices.
It's amazingly true, even here in southern California the used Leaf prices are headed up. Only last December, I and two friends of mine all bought 2013 Leaf's all with less than 25,000 miles at $6200 to $6400. Now sellers are asking about $8500 to $9,000 for the same car. I have ours listed now on Craigslist for $9,000 (and receiving inquiries) as since I am a Model S owner since 2013, my wife's Model 3 may show up within a few months.
I wonder what is driving the higher prices? I had thought when the Bolt, Leaf II, and Model 3 became eminent, that the used Leaf prices would crash. The opposite has happened, even the used Spark EV, Fiat 500E and eGolf have gone up in price! Even the lame Focus EV is up by $2,000!
I had read yesterday that in California, new EV sales are now 5% of purchases. Maybe it is backlash for Trump policies, people taking the climate into their own hands. Any ideas what is driving these increases?
