Auto loans: the 2011 Chevrolet Volt
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Chevrolet Volt for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2011 Chevrolet Volt, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 49 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, air bags and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
Power comes from the 1.4L 4-cylinder hybrid, driving through an automatic (CVT). It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 6.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 19 litres for 300 km. It can cover about 612 km on electricity before switching to gas. For 1,000 km, budget about $99.20 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the Volt makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits short daily drives on electricity with gas for longer trips.
Living with the Volt
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Length: 4.50 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Luggage space is rated at 510 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Volt on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Volt for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Your move
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
