Doesn't buying a new leaf that has been sitting around on a dealer lot, with the battery not having had the best of care (as is likely to occur on a dealer lot) actually work in your favor? Because the capacity warranty "clock" starts at retail delivery, it seems this will give you a better shot at getting a warranty replacement pack. A 30kwh pack has an eight year capacity warranty, getting a new pack in 7-8 years sounds like an ideal scenario, carrying you to the 16 year time frame where cars are pretty much done for anyway.
