Thank you Darcane! It was a pleasure to meetup with another ecomodder, and I'd encourage you all to do so, perhaps even without insulting each other's cars first!
Good buys on used i-MiEV are now down in the $6500 range, found on autotrader, allofcraigs and ebay. For my more detailed 'test drive' report, see InsideEvs I'm now at over 66000 iMiEV miles (traded the first silver car in after 21k miles to take advantage of clearance pricing and another tax credit). Rare are the opportunities to trade in an 18 month old car and come out ahead. Too bad for the dealer, the used EV market just hasn't materialized like it should. These cars have million mile motors, and battery pack rebuilds will only get better.
