How Much I Paid for My Bolt

[PedroenLA]

2019 Bolt Premier with DCFC, Infotainment, Driver Confidence II and black logos. MSRP $43,725. Purchased at $37,725 + DMV fees and taxes from Premier Chevrolet in Buena Park. Three dealers had settled at $5,500 below MSRP, which makes me think there's a package of GM incentives to dealers that total $5,500. One dealer dropped to $5,700 below before holding the line, the other one went to $6,000 below (where I made the purchase). Bought on 12/27/18. Not sure if I could have gotten more on 12/31 but that wouldn't be convenient for me.

Bought from Team Chevy DGDG in Vallejo, CA. Great experience with their sales team there. Bought 2019 LT Summit White, DCFC, comfort and convenience pkg, confidence pkg, + bonus items: black emblems, all weather floor mats and cargo mat, cargo net, false floor for trunk. $37,700 OTD. I used credit card for a down payment of $2500, in order to get my 1.5% cashback reward. Plan to use the CA clean air rebate to pay it off. If i had to do it all over i would have applied for a new credit card with 0% interest for 12 months and a huge bonus for spending a large sum within the first few months. Felt like it was a fair deal for a car with MSRP of $39,885. Love this car so far. Shout out to K. Elmi our sales guy and his team. Best car buying experience ever.

Did you not research the dealer discounts that Quirk is offering before you bought yours? They've been doing $7500 off as a dealer discount for like the past year and a half. Why would you buy from any other dealer? Especially if you are already in Massachusetts?

I never understand when I talk to fellow Bolt owners and find out they paid full rate when Quirk is giving these things away.

I know, I know. But I've never liked Quirk and it's a pain to drive to Braintree. I am very happy with my dealer 3 miles away. In the first month I went in for a tire pressure issue 3 times and was grateful for the short trip. I know I can use any Chevy dealer's service but I feel I get treated better because my dealer's service managers know I bought the car from them.

Hey all! New Bolt owner here ( also own a 2015 Spark EV ). I bought a 2019 Premier w/ the Driver Confidence Package for $33,600 OTD. I was planning on buying an off lease Bolt, hoping for a $20k price, but I couldn't turn down a brand new one now, for what will be ~$26,100 all said and done. I bought at Criswell Chevrolet in Gaithersburg, MD, and drove it nearly 500 miles to my home near Charlotte, NC.

What options did you get with your Premier? Does that include the $7500 tax rebate? You got 26000 off the list price?

I found the kinetic blue 2019 Bolt LT that I dreamed of at Starling Chevrolet in St. Cloud, FL. With every bell and whistle feature available, I ended up with taxes and title paying $36,300. It was a very good deal on a brand new car. Only complaint I had with the dealership is them tacking on Accessories at $995 after the deal was verbally made, accessories which were already on the car (tint, pinstripe and lifetime nitrogen)! I told them take the pinstripe and tint off or the deal is off. They hemmed and hawed, but eventually did remove the features and the $995.

Congrats on sticking to your guns. That would have been $1000 out of your pocket for crapola which added no value to you.

My dealer tried the hard-sell on an extended warranty.

I paid about $31k for my new 2019. It was discounted about 9600.
It is not a premier model.
Plus I should get 7500 tax credit, which ended at the end of April 2019... I think. For my 2019 taxes.
Plus I should get 2500 cash from state of OR. Already sent my paperwork in to OR.

Now I see new Bolts even discounted more. 10K ... even 12K.
I see new Bolts for 28/29K. WOW!! I am on CA/OR border.

Why is this so? Maybe because of the Tesla Model 3?
I see a lot of these Tesla cars in my area. And truckloads of Tesla headed north on the freeway to the Portland area.

Just picked up a Bolt Premier fully loaded for $32,226 out the door. MSRP was $43,510 or so. After the $3750 federal credit the net price will be just under $28,500. No state rebate but no sales tax in NJ on EVs.

No other dealer would come close to that number, but I think getting $34,000 out the door (excluding any sales tax if your state has one) is possible right now.

I took delivery of my 2019 Premier with DCFC, Driver Confidence II package just on 9/14/19. MSRP was $43510. After Chevy rebates ($6500) and NYS rebate ($2000) but without Federal incentive consideration I took it home for $31099. That figure includes destination charge but not taxes and fees. I am satisfied with my price!

I decided to buy the Bolt and then went to 3 dealers, demonstrating that I was knowledgeable about the car. I let each dealer know I was working with other dealers up front and asked for their best price. The dealer I bought from gave me confidence that they knew the car's features, was easy to work with, without pressure sales techniques, and gave me the lowest price while giving me best value for my trade in.

One dealer I decided against because I did not hit it off with the sales manager, even though their advertised price was the best they tried bait and switch. The last dealer kept on saying they wouldn't be beat on price, like 4 times during our discussion, but he was.
