The estimated resale value of the Chevrolet Volt
How much is that old Volt? According to Kelley Blue Book, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt will have a resale value of more than $ 17,000 after 36 months, the average time for financing.
That is only 42 percent of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $ 41,000, the hybrid. For what its worth, KBB’s projection assumes that the price for a gallon of gasoline will remain at $ 4 now and the next 36 months.
Eric Ibara, director of consulting residual values ??Kelley, told Automotive News that the estimated residual value can be a bit low, but the former 200.000 Volts sold qualify for a federal tax credit of $ 7500, effectively reducing its price to $ 33.500 (well, maybe not.)
Using this figure of $ 33,500, KBB’s projection means that the Volt will retain 51 percent of its value. That compares with 46 percent of Toyota Prius 2011 to 37.5 percent of Ford Focus 2011. As we see, the $ 7500 tax credit is nothing, but we’ll leave to your decision.
