| Answer to: Used electric car (Nissan Leaf), possible big repair cost | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | yaser | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The battery in all electric cars are expensive (from nissan to Tesla,...) and with the current technology, they go bad overt time, even if you don't use them. As a matter of fact, they go bad faster if you don't drive the car. Another issue about electric car is that they are not DIY friendly and most mechanics do not work on them (due to the high tech equipment that need to have), so if something goes wrong, it cost a fortune to fix. I see you don't drive much, have you thought about buying a small gasoline car instead of an electric? | |||||

| The batteries will probably die around the same time that the CVT in the equivalent gas-powered nissan would die, but the electric version of the car is about double the cost to start with. | |||||

| The previous generation and current (2nd) generation nissan leafs are all-electric vehicles and as such use electric motor and 1-speed direct drive “transmission.” That’s the case with all EVs including Tesla’s. The exception is the Porsche Taycan which uses 1-speed direct drift for the front and a 2-speed automatic transmission for the rear. That 2-speed automatic was a first for an EV. | |||||

| You did not mention the mileage. Regardless of that, I don't think it is a good buy. It is 3 year old electric nissan. I bet if you check out the price of battery, you will change your mind. | |||||

| 2022 nissan Versa opinions Unless you're explicitly interested in the cheapest car - It's not what I'd recommend. The "new" "Versa" (Almera) shares the platform with the OLD Micra - so I'm unsure if it's a good deal. No such thing exists, It's at most 16 years old. "Versa" is just a label, it's actually a nissan Tiida hatch, if it's an S trim level that's not surprising. On any other manufacturer that would have been a positive, but "Nissan" manuals blow up. It's a Renualt TL4 and it's just famous for being a crap gearbox, especially 3rd and ... | |||||

| ... car brands like nissan have more experience producing EVs for over a decade. If u had to get an EV, I would look into nissan since the leaf was a pioneer and they have been fairly reliable since its launch in 2010, and if u live in warm and colder climates and u just need a commuter car that is not too far, it's worth a look. | |||||
| 2009 Nissan Navara diesel stalls after starting during winter in South Africa | 20Relevance | 5 years ago | Koos | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Good day Mr.Scotty, I trust this message finds you well. I'm from south africa and in dire need of your assistance. I'm driving a 2009 nissan Navara D40 2.5 DCI with 326 000 km's on the clock. In 2019 During the winter months it started to stall shortly after starting. It would continue to die/stall until the engine is warm. I took it to a nissan Dealer they couldn't find anything. During the summer months there is no problem. During the winter months of 2020 same story, took it to a different nissan dealer they couldn't find anything either. I did my ... | |||||
| Brand new 2024 Frontier, seems used | 20Relevance | 2 years ago | SketchyGecko | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I've been looking at getting a new midsized truck for a long time and finally bit the bullet and bought a brand new 2024 Frontier and I love it. Drove it home and noticed the engine acting funky going uphill in first and idleing slightly rough. Now this truck has 84 miles on it currently, had 9 this morning when my sales agent picked it up. Here's where it gets a little conspiratorial. The cup holders up front have a bunch of little superficially scaring that looks like use. There's wrinkling in the driver's side seat (leather/plether) that looks like a decent amount of wear. When I pulled up the old floor mats to swap them for the all weather ones there was a decent amount of debris under both sides, more so on the drivers. Seemingly more than having being driven once by the sales agent. There's rust on bolts for the leaf springs, the u joints on the driveshafts in multiple places, and on the leaf springs themselves. When the deal on my new truck was being negotiated the one that I wanted was drawn up and priced out. Pretty last minute the guy says "now this was the GM of x dealerships demo truck, it has about 2300 miles, is that okay or do you want a new one." Of course I freaking said "yeah absolutely a new one" and he went off to the sales office to look up the same truck but new, which is what he came back with. Now where my mind is at right now, which I know would've been breaking about 17 laws for them, is that this is that demo truck. I don't want to believe that, I want to enjoy my brand spanking new truck, but it doesn't feel like a brand spanking new truck. There's scaring in little places and up on the dash as well. Is there a way for me to 100% test for myself if the digital odemeter was tampered with? Or to find some proof that this truck has been driven 2300 miles? Tires are brand new but that's an easy swap. I know I sound like a nut but something just feels off and I want to put my mind 100% at ease over this so I can just enjoy the truck. Any help is much appreciated. | |||||

| Modern petrol car drivetrains have gotten much more complex than EVs.A Camry has insane mechanical complexity (for example: 8 injectors in 2 fuel systems, electrically actuated VVT, an oil pump with 5 performance modes, 12 oil sprayer nozzles, shut off valves in the coolant channels, EGR ports inside of the cylinder head - I can go for days with all of the odd super technologically complex features in just a boring Camry)-In an EV, there's just an inverter that handles the battery and electrical current and the drive unit.And these drive train related ones seem to hold up well (they're pretty much the same as you'd find in a HEV or especially a PHEV)On a Toyota / Honda / the absolute majority of cars these held up great (with the once exception of VW GTE models where there were flaws)-And the "body electronics" (everything else except the drivetrain) haven't changed too much, I didn't find a significant difference between a 2011 Volvo coupe I had and Kias most advanced Hybrid.-The battery aging issue is definitely a consideration, but they are getting better at refurbishing battery packs and long term reliability.A lot of the early failed batteries are not thermally managed - that is still the main cause of battery death on early EVs (Leaf, Focus EV, Soul EV, etc.) and there's a good chance that it will change.-Toyota are developing and producing batteries that should last 15-20 years - on the ProACE Electric (jointly developed by Toyota and Citroën) they say it should last 15 years or 1,000,000 km.They have also said that their EV SUV should retain around 90% of its battery capacity after 10 years of use.So yeah, Battery longevity is definitely increasing - a lot(especially when comparing it to older EVs like the leaf)-And with the wide adoption they will have due to the laws passed on the subject in Europe, I think that battery prices will spike and later fall much lower than the $150/kWh that we're currently seeing. I believe that in 5-10 years a battery replacement on a long range EV will only cost a few grand ($45-$50 per kWh would be great) | |||||

| Stay away from Hyundai/Kia and nissan. Their quality went into the toilet years ago. (Though since a leaf is a toy lacking a real engine it might be better than nissan's other offerings.) | |||||
