I's like to suggest a trip to your local Nissan dealer to put a deposit on a new Leaf. Keep driving your faithful old vehicle until your Leaf shows up and then put it on Craig's list or Ebay.
Accidents occasionally happen, but I refuse to live my life in the fear of a Ford Excursion or Chevy/GMC Suburban running over me. In the final analysis, you have to weigh your concerns and spend your money appropriately.
{I pass a truck salvage yard on the way to work and I wouldn't have an SUV. IMHO, they are not as safe as people think they are. Most are there with the roof smashed in, not front or rear damage from from a typical collision.}
