Chevy Volt Priced Under $35,000

Car shoppers who have been looking at the Chevy Volt will have 5,000 more incentives to buy now.

This morning, Chevrolet announced that the starting price of the 2014 Volt would be cut from $39,995 down to $34,995. Adding on federal tax credits, the starting price could be as low as $27,495, and with a fuel economy of 35 city/40 highway, drivers will save hundreds of dollars on gas every year.

Chevrolet’s leadership has made a point of emphasizing advancements in the Chevy Volt in recent years including an increased battery range and a more comfortable interior. With the new price cut, they are hoping that car shoppers on the fence about the Volt will finally take the plunge and that car shoppers who are not looking at plug-ins or hybrids will check out the Volt.

In a press release, Chevrolet’s U.S. Vice President of Sales and Service Don Johnson said the price cut would give drivers “an unmatched balance of technology, capability and cost of ownership” with “the same impressive list of features, but for $5,000 less.”

Nissan Leaf Follows Volt’s Lead, Drops Price

In what is perhaps the most “No, Duh” moment of the year, Nissan has realized that they can sell more Nissan Leafs if they lower the price.

Sales for the Chevy Volt, one of the Nissan Leaf’s biggest competitors, were disappointingly slow this year until Chevy offered some major discounts totaling about $10,000, a substantial price cut. Since these discounts were introduced this year, the Volt has outsold every other electric car on the market, including the Leaf.

As 2012 is reaching an end, Nissan probably wants to boost sales across the board but particularly for the Leaf. They expected to sell 40,000 Leafs this year, and right now, they are not on track to meet that goal. The question isn’t quality. The Leaf has received solid reviews, and not paying out the nose at the pump is tempting to many drivers. The Nissan Leaf’s problem has always been its price tag. America’s economy might be in recovery, but its base price of $35,200 is still steep.

As of this publication, Nissan has not stated specifically what incentives or discounts will be offered, but we will keep you up to date when those discounts when that information is available. In the meantime, Approved Loan Store is ready to get you into an affordable new or used car today, whether you have good credit, bad credit, or no credit.

Chevy Offers $10,000 in Discounts on Volt

If you’ve been thinking about picking up the Chevy Volt but were hesitant because of the price, right now might be the perfect time to buy.

The Chevy Volt has had a tough time in sales since its release, even with drivers who are environmentally conscious or loved the idea of paying only $1.50 to charge its battery. It was a great car, but the timing of its launch was completely wrong. People were looking to cut costs in the short term, and paying $41,000 for a compact car did not make sense, no matter if they saved money in the long run.

Now, Chevy is trying to move the Volt off its lots without too much of a loss. There has been a $7,500 federal tax credit attached to the Volt to encourage drivers to make the change to a hybrid, but Chevy has added on more incentives throughout 2012, adding up to a $10,000 discount. Since the discounts were put in place, Volt sales have seen a dramatic change. Chevy has already sold over 13,000 Volts this year compared to 7,700 last year. The Volt is beating out every other electric car on the market including the Prius Plug-in and the Nissan Leaf.

Chevy is not the only dealership moving last year’s models off the lot. At this time of the year, dealerships across the country are offering deep discounts on a wide range of makes and models. For the best deals, now is the time to buy that new or used car, and Approved Loan Store is ready to help you every step of the way. Good credit, bad credit, no credit, we want to help you get in the car you want at terms you can afford!
