Leaf flex battery finance

[KCbumble]

I bought a 2015 Nissan Leaf Tekna in July, from a reputable garage. I part exchanged my car and paid £5999 altogether. I had done a lot of research beforehand and knew about Tekna flex models only leasing the battery. The car I bought was not advertised as a flex and the document on the description doesn't say so either. The garage did not mention this either. I recently tried to part exchange the car and found out through this that there is finance owing on the battery. I contacted the garage where I bought the car and they hadn't heard of the battery on lease scheme. I have been advised by friends in the motor industry that I am entitled to a full refund. I don't want the car, but the sales team are saying I'm not entitled to a full refund. I just want them to take it back. What should I expect?

When did you buy this vehicle?

Do you know the effect of this on the present value of the car?

Do you know the amount of the outstanding finance on the battery?

Your friends are right. The dealer is guilty of mis-selling
Electric cars sold without the battery (the battery leased separately) are significantly cheaper than cars sold with the battery included in the price.
The dealer should have been aware that the battery was leased and stated this in the advert

It is possible that the car owner purchased the battery at the end of the battery lease (normally 3 years)

That would explain why Renault hasn't chased you about a new lease battery agreement
