Nissan splits in two, and the plug is the line.
A Nissan gets quoted as an electric car or as an ordinary family wagon, and the wrong one of those two costs you either way.
So which half yours is in gets settled before anybody talks about a number, because what comes after that is not the same conversation.
- Australia wide
- Finance settled directly
4.9/5 from 500+ sellers across The Car Buyers group
Where to start
Each of the three has a page written for its own sale
- Sell your Nissan Leaf
- Written for the seller who has already been handed a number that read as a refusal, because on that car the battery is the entire discussion.
- Sell your Nissan Ariya
- Start there if a valuation form on some other site could not find the car in its list, or handed back a figure that was obviously a default.
- Sell your Nissan X-Trail e-Power
- The one that never plugs in, and the page for the seller turning over whether to mention the panel that was repaired a few years ago.
Every Nissan we buy
The list, split the way the sale splits
Battery electric on one side, hybrid on the other, and on this make there is nothing sitting in between the two.
Hybrid
- X-Trail e-Power
- Qashqai e-Power
If the Nissan you are selling is not on that list anywhere, it is one that only ever takes fuel, and we are not the right buyer for it. A Navara or a Patrol with no hybrid badge on it belongs somewhere else, and it is kinder to say so on the page than at the end of a phone call you made in your lunch break. We buy electric, plug in hybrid, hybrid and mild hybrid cars, Australia wide, and that is the whole of what we do.
If yours is the Qashqai e-Power, the page for the X-Trail e-Power further up is the one to read. It is the same half of this list and very nearly the same sale, the questions on it are the questions you are going to be asked, and the only thing it has wrong about your car is the size of it.
Two halves
Almost nothing carries across from one half to the other
One of these sales has a battery at the centre of it and the other does not, which changes the questions, the inspection and what is worth telling us first.
Two people can ring on the same morning, both say they are selling a Nissan, and be describing conversations with nothing in common. One of them has a routine. The car goes on overnight, they have watched what it reports about itself change over the years they have owned it, and they can tell you more about that than most buyers will ever ask. The other has never plugged anything into anything. They put fuel in it the way they always have, and the badge on the back has never once come up in the house.
The second group has a problem the first one does not, which is that they cannot easily say what they own. Tell somebody it is a hybrid and they assume a plug is involved somewhere. Tell them there is no plug, and they hear an ordinary petrol wagon and stop listening. Neither picture is the car, so the owner ends up explaining a drivetrain to a stranger instead of selling a vehicle, and by the time anybody gets to the part that matters, both of them are tired of it.
You do not have to do any of that here. Say the name off the back and the year it was built, and working out which half of the range that puts you in is our job. What follows genuinely does depend on the answer. Where the car plugs in, the battery is read rather than guessed at and it carries a great deal of the number. Where it never has, that same hour goes into the body, the service history and what the car has been asked to do. What does not move either way is the part we control: whatever is still owing is settled directly with the financier, including a novated lease, a shortfall goes in front of you in writing before anything is signed, and the paperwork happens on your phone.
Two questions
What Nissan sellers put to us first
I have an e-Power and I never know what to call it. What do I say on the call?
Read us the badge off the back of the car and the year it was built. Naming it properly is our job rather than yours, and nobody is going to ask you to explain how it works. Plenty of people ring here unsure of what to call their own car, and it has never once slowed anything down.
Does the inspector look at the two halves differently?
Yes, and that is the whole reason this page bothers to sort you into one of them. On a Nissan that plugs in, the condition of the battery is a large part of the conversation and it gets measured rather than assumed. On one that never has, that time goes into the body, the history and the work the car has done. Same visit, same person, different hour.
Name the Nissan, and which half it sits in is our problem.
No obligation. Send the car details through and we call you back with a real price range.
