Does the car drive well? Shakes or shimmys driving it at highway speeds? Does it stop well? Do brakes squeak, pulse, or fade? Does the car have any rust? Does it have any codes? Do all the lights work? Wipers? Seat heaters? Fan? Does the car have wind noise from bad seals? Does the electrical motor make any unusual noises?
Do you need 240 Volts to charge adequately for your use?
IDK anything about the Leaf. If your electrical panel is in the garage, it is not that hard to add a 240 V 30 amp circuit if there is room on the panel for one or two new breakers.

Nice I've never bought a car from a private seller so this is helpful.
I have a dryer plug in my garage that isn't being used since I have a gas dryer. I'll have to check the amperage on the circuit but my plan was to use that to charge.
If it will lead to less battery degradation I would be fine just using the 110 since I won't be driving very far each day.
