Here is a weird combo. 2011 Nissan Leaf with just over 1000 KMs on it. Being sold at auction by a GM dealer! The worst part is that while we all may dig our eco cars, in the wholesale car business hybrids and EVs are to be avoided at all costs. Too much risk in case there is an issue with them in regards to what profit you could make. This car didn't even get a bid on it, no one wanted it. The auctioneer was fishing for bids around $24000, which gives you a rough idea what the auction reserve was. That car new is $38000 here. That's a big hit to take in depreciation.
