Brand New Chevy volt is ~20k new with dealer and tax rebates. Chevy offers 0 down 0% financing.
There's a fair argument that the volt is a better economical buy than the used leaf.
- rthomas6 8y agoTrue, but 20k is not 11k. And that's the out-the-door price with lower than average mileage bought by someone who didn't want to haggle. You can get a 2015 Leaf with 30k miles for 9k.
- jfrankamp 8y agoCan confirm! I got a 2015 for $9600, with 24k miles. It is fantastic and has more than _twice_ the trunk space of the volt which was a deal killer for the volt. We are a two car family and the other car is gas only for long range & occasional dual usage. We're jamming the miles on to the ~free-to-operate leaf as much as we can though.
- da02 8y agoAny downsides other than range?
- sokoloff 8y agoStock tires are uninspired and the car doesn’t handle particularly well, but basically “no; they’re great!”
- madengr 8y agoThe torque is what amazes me, for something considered an econo-box.
- jfrankamp 8y agoI don't have any yet downsides yet, but if interested I'd suggest browsing the leaf owner forum https://www.mynissanleaf.com/ https://www.mynissanleaf.com/ which has a lot of leaf hacker information & a wishlist section. Essentially my takeaway was: leaf owners love their cars by and large.
