| Have you looked into the Chevy Volt? They are very reliable and would be compatible with the amount of driving you say you do per day. Even if you go over that amount it has an engine so you won't get stuck. | |||||

| @Dan, unfortunately a lot of people are being hoodwinked by the barrage of electric car propaganda and they don't bother digging below the surface or doing the math. | |||||

| @ChuckTobiasgood point, I agree. then the price would make sense.Personally I have a feeling it’s even worse, I think he means it’s just a used battery. although it’s still quite a bad deal - $3.5k to make his car last maybe another 2-3 years… | |||||

| That $3500 price may be for a "rebuilt" battery (only the bad cells replaced) rather than a new one. | |||||

| I do very short commutes (maybe 30 miles round trip a day or so). I currently have a 2014 Fiat 500L 6 speed manual and I only have 54,000 miles on it. on weekends i drive one-way about 37 miles to my parents house; so not much driving is involved in my week. Also each car was selling for a little over $7,000 | |||||
| 1989 Nissan Sentra (project car) | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | Sunny Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello Scotty, Thank you for welcoming me here. Recently I bought a 1989 nissan Sentra XE 2 door sedan for $2300, that has the 90 hp GA16i engine with manual 4 speed transmission and has 122,410 miles on the odometer. Now this was my first time buy a car by myself so I was very naive to the process. I'm just a full time university student working two part time jobs. I already have a car as a daily driver, which is my 1998 Honda Accord. I felt I paid way too much for a 30+ year old car and that was a foolish mistake, it was initially offered at $3500 whe ... | |||||

| As for the engine, I think it should last you at least(of course this is an estimate) 150k miles (250k km)Its a design from the mid 2000s designed by nissan/Renault, is multi-port fuel injected and naturally aspirated. Here is what I found on engine-specs.net: The nissan HR16DE is reliable and durable. This engine sometimes has problems with the alternator belt (whistle noise). It needs to tighten or replace the old belt with a new one. Sometimes the engine may shut off. The problem is in the relay of the ignition unit. nissan officially recalled a batch o ... | |||||

| Hey Scotty I bought a 2017 nissan Micra S 1 year ago in Canada with 27000 km on it. I've put on 68000 km during the one year of ownership and have had no problems. I run full synthetic 5W30 and keep up with top ups and oil changes. My reason for buying is because of the simplicity of the car. Manual locks, manual windows, electric power steering, a 1.6 litre 4 cylinder engine and a standard 5 speed transmission. I'm not a fan of nissan but because simple cars are becoming hard to find I gravitated towards the Micra. Also knowing it's a manual even being a N ... | |||||

| a new battery is a cool $19k + labour (if you can find one. Ford is out. and if they can find a technician who knows how to do it). That buys a lot of gasoline. | |||||

| Answer to: Used electric car (Nissan Leaf), possible big repair cost | 14Relevance | 5 years ago | infinitifxfan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Yeah that's the issue with EVs, as they age and the batteries wear out, they get really expensive. We have a 2017 Ford Focus Electric with 44 000 km and it still runs great and we still get 185 km as advertised by Ford. We also have a long warranty on the battery and it doesn't end until 2025. We did have a 2008 Honda Civic before that, a great car but it needed some body work done and it wasn't worth putting any money into it, so we sold it to someone who just wanted a cheap car to drive around. My mom really wanted an EV since she wanted to contribute to climate change. | |||||
