I would work on the price on that 2012. You can get a new 2014 ES for 16K new not including federal and state incentives. I had a dealer down to 8K for a 2012 ES (6k miles) but am going with new for $8,500 after my federal credit.

What where the specs (es/se/options) of the iMiev you bought

b at .12 cents a kwh

Will a golden retriever (60lb dog) fit in the back hatch area with all the sets up?

I just wanted to get a feel of how many owners out there that don't have dealer close to maintain there vehicle. Also do you plan on maintaining it yourself or flatbed your car to the dealer.

I hope so, I am about to pull a trigger on a raspberry SE for my wife, Yes driving a paid for Focus wagon makes more sense but since she wants to drive the Leaf and me drive the wagon. I just love the quite ride of an electric car. I am 250 miles away from the dealer so we might have to fix...

Why would you ever want to climb Mount Everest it's just cold up there anyway? :)

That's awesome, I guess 200 miles is nothing. I was showing the wife the iMiEV tonight, her reply was "You don't need another car!"(I am addicted to cars), I say it's for her, reply "Yea right". Asked her what color she liked and she says "Raspberry" I figure that was yes go ahead and buy...

So you have never had the car back to the dealer. You have a service manual?

When I met the "Certified Tech" for my Nissan Leaf I was not too impressed. I would imagine I could do just as well or better with a service manual. I would venture to say the EV tech's in this area will be going in blind for the most part. They probably had a class for a few days a couple...

Looking at your signature you are addicted to EV's. Have the bug now too, have a 2012 Leaf SL and looking at getting the iMiEV. Sorry can't answer you question though.

Yes, I noticed the lack of range in the Leaf when it's cold, but West Fargo/Fargo/Moorhead is only 10 miles from one end to the other. I have a heated garage and pre-heat my Leaf and don't use the heat while driving, gets pretty fogged up by the time I get to work. By the time I go back if the...

I figured 3 charges two days with a stop over at a families house along they way. It's not the destination but the Journey.

I was thinking of making a pilgrimage in the i-MiEV every year. Take a couple of days each way stopping at campgrounds for a charge :).

I wanted to get some input from everyone. I currently own a Leaf but really want to get my wife a iMiev. In fact if I actually had known that the iMiev existed I probably would already have one, cheaper and seems more designed to be an electric car not a electric car trying to act like a gas...
