Then there is dreaded battery replacement.
But it looks like old leaf battery modules are pretty valuable. There are 48 of them in the car and it would appear they could be broken down and sold for at least $40 each.

Never hurts to throw offers out and see what sticks. Most CL posters expect to bargain if they don't state the price is firm. The key to most any good deal, whether it's a car or a wife is to shop the market and be persistent.
I'm actually surprised the gen I Leaf prices are holding the value they are considering the impending gen II. I'd like to see a '13 down around $5k. They aren't particularly fast, the range is limited, and on top of that, many people are seeing significant battery degradation.
It's been about 3 years since I had a serious interest in buying a Leaf, which is just about the normal amount of time I wait before actually buying.
