Volt price revealed
The information that we have all been waiting for….well, maybe not all of us but some I’m sure. The price of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt is…..$41,000* (the asterisk is because there will be a $7500 federal tax credit that you will get for buying this car, but you need to finance $41,000 and then you get the tax credit on your next tax return. The best deal is the leasing deal. You can lease the Volt for $350/mo. for 3 years with $2500 down. The price of the Volt leasing deal is alittle more than the Nissan Leaf, which is $2000 down $350/mo., 3 years.
With this Chevy Volt you get standard navigation with a 7 in. screen, an 8 year/100,000 mile battery warranty, Bluetooth connectivity, Bose audio system, and 5 years of OnStar service included. OnStar normally costs $300 per year. There are a few options for more; heated leather seats, chrome wheels, three premium paint colors, and a rear park assist. You actually get quite a bit for the price. A lot more than many other cars. I know the price is higher, but the lease price isn’t bad at all.
There will be 7 U.S. markets selling the Volt in December, and the rest of us will have the Volt available to us in a year to a year and a half. If you want to know the 600 dealers that will have the Volts available are, go to http://getmyvolt.com.
This is exciting stuff, right? I don’t know. I’m really not totally sold on the Volt or Leaf for that matter. I’ve been reading a lot about them and I think I will be waiting for the price to lower and for customers to give reviews after driving these cars for a year or so. By the way, sorry about the blog in bold, just got a new computer and pressed some button and could not get the bold off. I pressed it about 10 times with nothing happening. I’ll figure it out for the next blog.
