My wife purchased a 2018 Chevy Bolt EV brand new and about a year and a half in the battery fire recall came to be. GM not having a fix basically qualified the vehicles to be lemon law’d in many states. Ours was purchased back and we received about $12,000 as well as the $7500 rebate.

Toyota Southeast (Southeast Toyota Distributors) pushes this BS $1999 “Advantage Package” on all of their new and used cars. Cannot be removed.

It really isn’t that ugly at all ...

The Bolt is a perfect concept that EVs can be both practical and affordable....it’s just too damn bad it’s so ugly. While they could’ve easily taken after many nice smaller vehicles made by their direct competition GM, once again proved that they just don’t get small cars.

Our household is currently on our 4th Bolt EV. We are not sure what to do when our current lease runs out in less than a year. I really see no realistic replacement for this car, and the Equinox is just going to be much larger.

Florida - GM purchased our 2018 Bolt after about 2 years of driving. We now lease a 2021 Bolt and fully expect for them to purchase it back after a year or more of driving.  NP or CP....NP!

That’s always been one of the reasons I like them.

I never paid attention or noticed until now that the Mazda Ranger has swoopy fenders rather than being a straight rebadge. 

Excellent find!

And that’s in a nutshell is why today’s offering is a solid ND to me. You got a six years newer, subsequent generation version of exactly the same kind of vehicle with ten thousand fewer miles on the clock, in at least as good a condition from the looks of it, for $2500 less.

Nice deal.

Very nice!

Recently picked up an 03’ Mazda B2300 regular cab with the newer DOHC 2.3 duratec and 5 speed stick. 56,000 miles for $4,000. I’ve owned many vehicles but there is just something about clicking through the gears, with the windows cranked down in this honest truck that really makes my day.

Dissenting opinion: this is the lowest spec, smallest engine, wrong transmission, only half the the wheels driven. And the First pic looks like it has body damage on the fender, but that maybe just a shadow.
10 years ago this was a $2500 truck.

ND for all but the most oddly nostalgic.

but I will admit that its a good old…

10% is a big deal in this space. Ford would kill for 10%

Plus, in honesty, it’s all about the clix.

Your story makes me sad. I hope it’s not the last new car you get to buy.

While I generally find the “all gentrification is evil” narrative pretty limited, to me this is just called: Do Your Research. Figure out what happens in a neighborhood, decide whether or not you’d be happy to live there, and then sign your lease accordingly. Don’t show up and mess with the lives of the people who…

to all the people sucking Elon’s dick in the comments: Jalopnik reports on Tesla’s FSD failures because TESLA MARKETS THEIR VEHICLES AS SELF DRIVING. If Tesla didnt advertise their vehicles as self driving, this wouldn't be a problem.

Reading comprehension for the loss, eh?
