Community Chevrolet in Burbank CA.
Still listing in $28's for Premier By waiting $1700 of the possible tax money has been lost (expired Oct 1). Of the discounts, the only one that looks "iffy" is $1K trade in, I don't know what that means. All the rest seem legit
So for California buyers considering keeping their cars after lease end, buying a new replacement looks like a strong possibility instead
MinwooBolt wrote:I originally leased my 2019 Bolt Premier (MSRP $43,635) back in Nov 2017. 12k mi/yr. I opted to pay upfront for the lease, bringing my total to $16,745. They had rebates at the time for $6091, which brought my total down to $10,654 (after taxes and including wear and tear protection). -$2500 (CA rebate) -$1000 (So Cal Edison) -$700 (Costco Executive) brought down the total to about $6,500 for a 3 year lease with 36k miles allowance.
Now, after 2 years, I've run 34k miles on the car. The lease residual is stated as $25,745. I can buy a new Premier (MSRP $42,530) for $35,067. -$2000 (CA rebate) - $1875 (fed rebate) -$1000 (So Cal Edison) -$700 (Costco) brings the total down to $29,492.
It will cost me $3747 more to purchase a brand new 2019 Bolt vs buying out my 2017 Bolt after lease end.
I'll be buying my new Bolt soon. I've loved driving the 2017 thusfar. This car will hold me over until I'm ready to buy the Cybertruck

I'm happy with my car, but I'd sure like faster fast charging, which will probably be a thing in 2020 - Is everybody planning on buying Kias or Hyundais? When the time comes? Their tax credit status is probably fine - Or getting bent over by the bank and buying the lease back at asking (or worse) price? I'm going to have to look a the residual value on my car, but it's probably crazy expensive. I know this forum is sort of languishing, but there's still some activity. I'd live to hear what others think...
