Facebook Marketplace: 2012 Renault Fluence Electric Ev Not Zoe Leaf - Cars, Trucks & Motorcycles - Carlisle, Cumbria

Not that I'm considering buying it, but it's interesting that the battery has been returned to Renault and they've kept the car.

I doubt it's worth £2,000 with the battery in place.

Are you saying the removal of the battery lease liability has increased its value or that it's worth even less without the pack?

 

[Paul Wedderburn]

It would be interesting to see if Mike Schooling from www.indra.co.uk would be able to provide a battery and what would cost.

Well, I think they go for around £3,500 with the battery.

Not sure if this one is even salvageable.

IIRC you used to be able to buy Fluence batteries online, someone bought a job lot, so it's not impossible that it could be revived.

Edit: found it - EVTV Motor Verks Store: 1 Renault Influenza Battery Packs, Lithium Battery Cells, Betterplace

Since the batteries were designed to be swappable it might even be very easy.

$9K for a Fluence pack with no warranty

I guess if someone has a damaged Fluence but good battery they might be interested in the Facebook car, but unlikely at the price being asked.

Is a battery-less Fluence a Flatulence?

...I'll get my coat.
