Congratulations! So you now have three in the family? That would make two of us with three. Could you tell us a bit about which model and its options and did the Remote come with it? Might update your Profile to show your location.
I guess I should have been more clear, this new one is the only one I currently own, I leased one a few years ago just to see if it was a good fit for me, I gave that one back to the dealer, didn't want to pay $13,000 for it at lease end, so I found a used one for $8,000, drove it for a year, then sold it and bought my current one, it's a raspberry colored, I believe it's the ES model(no alloy wheels, no Bluetooth,etc...) but it's a beauty!! It's got the remote for pre-heating, my Schneider Electric Level 2 charger has up to 8 hour delay for charging, so I basically just use the remote for pre-heating.
Between the 3 of them, I've logged over 30K electric miles
Petra1990, no worries about the car count and delighted this Raspberry i-MiEV suits you. You're astute to recognize that the i-MiEV fulfills your driving needs, and buying such a nice one used has resulted in your now having probably the lowest cost of ownership of any 2012 car in the US.
Hi Petra1990 - I moved you post into your thread, as it was not a brand-new $10K vehicle, which is what that other thread was all about. Hope you don't mind.
