On Friday, I attended a press conference for the kickoff of the Nissan Leaf tour. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn was among the speakers, and although he did not announce exact pricing, he did talk about the pricing plan: The electric Leaf will sell for the same price as a similarly-sized gasoline-powered car. The Leaf is similar in size to the Sentra, so my best guess is the price will come in around $21,000... but the battery isn't included. Read more.. Nissan Leaf: Batteries not included originally ...

I wouldn't be to quick to zero in on the Sentra for a price comparison. The
G37 sedan is about that same size & it costs $34,000 & up.

My '93 Nissan Sentra wouldn't start so I left it with a neighborhood
garage which called me with an estimate of $303 for a new starter. Does
that seem like too much?

Replace starter (1-yr warranty) $169.73
Labor 118.00
Tax 15.28
======
303.01

Now here's the story: I called AAA Saturday evening because the car left
me stranded. It had never failed to start before. The AAA guy said the 6
yr old battery still had plenty of charge, but I might want a new one
anyway. The car required a push to start, and I went to Advance
Autoparts for a new battery.

'Clarissa' installed the new battery, and I turned the key. NOTHING!
Just then this big guy steps up and says "I've been watching, and I
think I can help." The hood is up, and he just reaches underneath the
air cleaner duct a second, takes his hand out and says, "Try it now."
The car starts beautifully! "Probably corrosion," he says.

Back home, though, the car wouldn't start. I tried getting under the air
duct, but there's hardly room for your hand, much less actual tools! So
I go to the place around the corner, which wants $300+ for a new
starter.

Question (besides the $300 one) : What did the guy in the parking lot at
Advance Auto DO to the car that helped it start?

Tnx,
Jm
