What should I look for when buying a used Nissan LEAF?

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: ProPilot Assist with automated lane-centring and adaptive cruise control, plus forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, driver monitoring, and a 360-degree camera system.
• Infotainment: standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with 12.3-inch or dual 14.3-inch screens depending on trim.

• Battery health: check battery state-of-health, ask how the car was typically charged at home versus on DC fast chargers, and confirm the remaining battery warranty coverage before you buy.

What is the Nissan LEAF's resale value?
