So, as we know, the Bolt’s were all recalled last year due to being able to spontaneously combust. I filed a claim with GM’s Bolt hotline in late September. I spent a lot of time on the phone arguing, convincing and trying to make the GM reps feel sorry for me and my situation. Why? Because like a shark smells blood in the water, I smelled money. I had previously read the GM had been buying back Bolts due to this - that was not the outcome I was looking for. I would get back a few grand (well, $6k), but in Covid market, that would only get me a 15 year old beater. However, I had a Chrysler that was a lemon in 2014 and they offered to buy it back, or switch to any other car in their lineup. This was more intriguing to me due to the massive amount of incentives on the Bolt.
I eventually got approval to do a vehicle swap in late October/early November. Still had no idea how it would work or what the numbers would look like, you literally don’t find out until you’re at the dealership. Now, I had to find a Chevy dealer willing to sell a Tahoe at sticker when most are going for $3k over sticker (requirement of the swap is that the deal is at sticker - GM’s rule). I called about 10 dealerships of both Chevy and GMC (Yukon would be fine too) and only about half had Tahoe’s in stock. Most dealers were over sticker and while sympathetic, weren’t willing to go to sticker. Eventually I convinced the dealership I got my Bolt from to do the swap at sticker. Perfect - they’re like 7 minutes from my house too. However, they had none in stock, we would need to order one - but no worries, they had some builds submitted already and I could pick one! They had 2 2021’s and 1 2022 submitted to be built. While I don’t understand how these 2 model years were shipped only 2 weeks apart, I opted for the 2022. It was finally built in the middle/end of November and arrived in NJ about 10 days later at the end of November/beginning of December. Due to GM Finance and the Buyback/Swap Committee, there were some delays on me actually getting the truck.
Finally, I got a call that everything was good to go, I would just need to bring a check for $25,165.00. 
The reason was for the difference in Window Stickers had to be paid for upfront, the Tahoe had a $64,955 sticker. No matter, the fine folks at GM that are impossible to reach or get answers from did promise me that the contract would stay exactly the same and sure enough, it did! What this means is that I now had a 1 pay lease on the Tahoe, for the lowly sum of $25,165.00 + $1,512 = $26,677. Even better, the residual stayed the same as was agreed upon for the Bolt - $21,088. GM covered DMV and taxes as part of the swap process. I can basically buy out the lease and own a brand new $65k Tahoe for like $47k.

No idea how to even put this on the calculator, but I’ll try my best.
Anyway, I picked it up in the middle of December, and sold in the beginning of February with the help of @DNA_Auto_Wholesale1 Adam from DNA had a contact that charged $1k to do the buyouts, but would save me the hassle of paying sales taxes and dealing with the DMV. I sold the truck for $64k even. After the fee and the residual, I got a check for $42k. All in all, I had a Bolt for 15 months and a Tahoe for about 3 months - and made a bit over $15k in the process. Not bad for a Chevy!
My inside joke that no one gets is that I made more money on that Tahoe than GM building and selling it to the dealer, the dealer selling it to me/GM Financial. GM Financial leasing it to me, the dealer buying it out and Adam wholesaling combined!
