Quote from JulianZ :
Bolt and volt fall completely apart right after 3 years, I heard many of my friends complaining. Cheap plastic, now even the ev credit is gone, who wants a chevy, can you raise your hands? Why don't you get a kia or Hyundai, They have almost the same spec, much better build quality, and they have the ev credit, they are much cheaper! For Those who wants a higher end car, Why don't you buy a Volvo x40 or wait for the c40? Even a model y is not much more expensive.
Look above, people don't care, they will buy crap at a reduced cost and claim value. Chevrolet really missed the mark with a poor quality vehicle in a swift attempt to grab governmental subsidies for electric vehicle with minimal efforts given.

New to this game.. any inputs are appreicated.

If I get a 3 year lease for $4500, i can apply $3000 from costco and effectively drive the car for 3 years for $1500 then return it?

My company my Tesla that's written off as a company expense, so, I got it for even less than the Bolt.

Bolts at one point sold for over MSRP and the SAME price as a Tesla. Look back at all the posts, people compare the Bolt to the aforementioned cars. Correct them, I'm well aware of market value. These, again, even at 20k, are overpriced. Just goes to show, if they discount crap enough, people will try and justify its value.
So you write the 40K Tesla off as an expense, therefore you got it cheaper than the 22K Bolt? That makes no sense.

Just admit it, you are here to shit on the Bolt because you um, like Tesla and everyone should pay double for a Tesla when a Bolt will suit most folks just fine. Not everyone is on an ego trip.

Right in the pants. When I compared it to a Model 3, I immediately knew, people will live several years with a dissatisfying vehicle that they will regret. I made the mistake. I learned. But, to answer your question, it touched me right in the feelers.
You cannot compare the Bolt to a Model 3 unless you bought BOTH at full MSRP.

The Bolt is overpriced at 40K. It is a very good value at 20-25K with the discounts. You can BARELY get an ICE car with all of the features (EV aside) for that same price.

The Costco Rebate is already included in the lease. Getting the $4500 deal is going to be hard to none at this point.

Was it Lake Bluff? I was looking there since they are participating in this Costco deal and Im wondering if i should call back.
I got a 36/10 lease on a 2020 Premier from Michelle at the Exchange in LB in March..it was a single pay for $5,656...I referred a bunch of people there afterwards and she kept increasing her prices to the point that it didn't make sense anymore.

That said, about the beginning of May they got more 2020's and between the dealer not dealing anymore and the disappearance of Costco $, they've just sat there. I am guessing she's willing to get rid of them now.

People here aren't focusing- this should be a fantastic deal on a 3 year lease for a vehicle whose limitations you accept, or you walk away. The EV market is going to look entirely different in three years than it looks now, and this is a great way to dip your toes in the water for little money.

For everyone arguing about MSRP and comparing this to a Tesla, your arguments make no sense. This is a great vehicle for what it is if you can get the right price. My family thought I was crazy for getting a Bolt and now they all want to drive it. It's the best $5600 I've spent.

Use Edmunds forums for the numbers and leasehackr for the forums and calculator, send your proposal to 12+ dealers, and see the results.

In the past three months we've gone from 2 vehicles that averaged about 14 MPG between the two of them to a Bolt and a Toyota Venza (hybrid) at 40 mpg. We had to go to the pump once in the last three months.

Nope, Tesla is not the best value electric vehicle, if I were to buy an electric vehicle, it would not be a Tesla. I would buy a Kia or Hyundai.

My Tesla was 87K. It's used as a company vehicle, electric, advertisement, and service vehicle. I paid 71K less in taxes because of it.

Nah...Lease will have a buyout at the end. So the 3000 will come off the full price of the vehicle. It'll save you roughly $83 a month with this "discount". 3000/36 mo lease.

We managed to get an bmw i3 for roughly $6000 for a 30-months lease back in 2018. The lease came up in Jan 2021.
Was that the total over the life of the lease? And was that before or after state incentives/ engery company rebates.
I'm assuming 10k miles per year? Did you put any down? What were the drive off costs or did you roll that into the lease?

That's a pretty good lease, for an i3. Not to mention gas savings. Did you have to put any down for 130 a month?

also what did you get next after that lease was over. did you stay with BEV or go back to gas/hybrid

We used all the rebates we were gonna get back as down payment. Eventually we got them all back in 2-3 months. The only out of pocket was taxes and fees. I think it was about $1700 or $1800.

I've seen Bolt Premiers available for $24,500-$28,000. With the Costco discount the price drops to $21,500-$25,000.

The NEW EV credit that just pass committee in the Senate will knock an additional $12,500 off the price.

$9,100 for a new EV is a no brainer.

I see a lot of arguments in this thread on the quality of this car, but if you are paying $9,100 for a fully loaded EV with 250+ mile range BRAND NEW, I don't know how you can argue against what may be the slickest deal in years.

We got a model 3. Need little more range for longer distance. i3 was a great ride. It has its pluses and minuses. My wife is thinking about getting another one now that range has increased to 150ish. Hahaha
