After much contemplation and discussion with my wife, we have decided to sell our Leaf rather than our ICE wagon.
It is very sad decision as I had the full intention of going full EV however the range of the Leaf just won't be enough for our day to day needs in the near future.
So if anyone you know is in the market for a Leaf with 11 SOH bars and 45,000Kms on the clock. Please let me know and I'll be happy to discuss the sale.
I haven't put the ad up on carsales or anything yet.
We have a Model S (certified pre-owned) on the way.
Will post photos in the near future.

I'm not in the market myself, but what's your location and what sort of price? I'll pass it on to some other groups if you like. If you post a photo I can share it as well.

I am located in Glen Iris, Melbourne. I will be selling the car with a road worthy certificate and new set of bridgestone ecopia tyres. Price is negotiable however I am hoping for around the $22k mark all up. It has been raining and windy in Melbourne past couple of days so the car is quite dusty on the outside, I'll give it a wash and take some photos. |

Not sold yet. Just posted ad up on Carsales this morning. I think it’s still going through the admin approval process.
I’ll post a link up once it’s officially listed. Thanks!

Love your blurb in the ad, you've nailed all the ++++ of EVs. |

The car has a tentative new owner. Pending payment and pick up this weekend.
The Tesla has arrived and it's time to say goodbye to our dear Leaf. It will be missed.
It provided a great entry into the world of EV motoring and opened my mind to a new way of living and it was the catalyst for me to install solar panels on our roof and participation in many discussion forums.

Oh well, you'll have your new Tesla and it's still one more EV on the roads, and a household that is driving electric that wasn't before! Make sure the new owner gets sent a link to this forum You're still allowed to hang out here of course. Although Tesla Motors Club - Australia & NZ forum might be more your thing! |

I will definitely still frequent this forum, it's what started it all for me. And also, as I mentioned before, Tesla owners in general up to this point (massive generalisation I'm sure) haven't been the most easy to approach people compared to other EV owners whether it be Leaf, iMiev or home brew. |

One time I pulled up next to David at the lights, a former LEAF owner who upgraded to a Model S (he lives a few streets away from me). Among the questions I asked was if he'd been to any Tesla meets. He answered no and said, "Us Tesla owners are a lot more self assured and don't need meets". I'm sure he was joking, but there might have been a hint of truth to it!
I'm aware of Tesla meets in the past at Superchargers. Hope to do something on a smaller scale with the NRMA charging network.

The potential buyer seems to have backed out. No replies to messages or phone calls. I have resumed the car on carsales.com.au
So if anyone you know might still be interested, please direct them my way.

Does anyone have any recommendations regarding reputable interstate car transport companies?
I know nothing about this process and any recommendations will be welcome.

I used prixcar to transport my Leaf from SA to WA. It was the cheapest back then (service was satisfactory). It might be different now and depending your destination. |

Thanks for the suggestion, they did come up quite competitive. I'm waiting on a quote back from Toll.

It's happening, transport is booked for next week. Look forward to it being on the road with the new owner. It's a brilliant little run about and I will miss driving it.

The car has arrived safely in the new owner's hands and he is having a blast driving it.
I've made him aware of this forum. Hope there will be a new member soon.
The car has been removed from my Nissan EV account so I guess Nissan Australia knows about it will be assigning the Carwings login details to the new owner.
