I stopped at the "full stop" point. It may surprise you to know that $5500 is not something everyone has sitting around in a sock drawer.

I haven't spoken to her about the car's fate. It could be that she and her boyfriend are looking into replacement batteries, or it could be that she's saving up the cash. What I'm certain of is that she was sold a Leaf with a nearly fully depleted battery pack.
