Excellent advice. I was unaware of that recall and the difference between 2017-2019 and 2020-2022 models but I’ve read up on it now.

The price isn’t outside of the realm of reasonable, it’s just on the high side so I’m will to negotiate with them, it just irks me they were 100% firm on their price 6 days ago stating they had no wiggle room only to lower the price 3 days later. If they don’t work with me there other dealerships for sure, I was just hoping to work a deal with a local one rather than hopping an hour away.

There it is, always that one person who has nothing of value to offer but chimes in anyways. Any salesmen you deal with must appreciate your business.

A new Bolt is looking to be around $30-31k, with the tax credit you can get that down $22-24k. The used vehicle we’re looking at is about $18k with about 20k miles. They used to only allow the tax credit on new vehicles, but as of 1/1/23 they added a credit for used vehicles (with restrictions) of $4k, and this vehicle meets those restrictions so we would get the car for around $14 if it all works out.

Our state is not very green friendly, so there are no state credits to our knowledge. It’s hard to even find EV’s here and finding someone that knows how to work on them is also a work in progress.
