GM recalling Bolts for potential battery issue

I closed my transaction in June, and my experience mimics yours…Same original contract with a swapped out VIN. My only regret is that one week after I closed my transaction, they announced the $6300 MSRP drop on the 23s. I could have swapped into the most expensive 23 Bolt Premier, but instead settled for a 22 2LT. As consolation, I guess we got to swap out a few months earlier and enjoy our 22s sooner. Anyways, for FlyingMachine, this is great timing on your part. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the clarification, appreciate your quick reply. By confirming your experience, gives me greater confidence on how to proceed. Enjoy your new Bolt!

We’ve been waiting for the RVDC to find a hosting dealer for the past 3 weeks, which is a bit frustrating. We are considering taking legal action instead, which in CA is supposedly fairly straightforward (though lengthy) in getting to settlement according to some lawyers. Has anyone else gone this route? As much as I’d like to get into a 2023, it’s hard to turn down a full repurchase plus civil penalties.

That’s nothing. I waited 2 months to find a host since my purchasing dealer refused to sponsor it.

Is it like for like or can I order an EUV on a SoC?

You can order any GM car, not limited to Chevrolet or Bolt.

Any GM car.

If the MSRP is greater on the new car then you pay the difference

Oh very interesting. So best financial move is to maximize MSRP and then buy the less than year old car at prior lease residual and then profit?

From what I’ve been reading the last few weeks, that seems to be the consensus here. Best of luck with the process

What’s the safest vehicle to swap into for profit? Trucks? Anyone in particular?

This is a great question. Maybe a Silverado? Definitely steering clear of buick…

Been thinking about this and curious, what are other folks swapping into who are doing/did SoC?

I’ve read from forums that people have been swapping into a Silverado then flipping them.

Yea was thinking a truck would be smart. Guess I just have to wrap my head around eating gas costs while driving for a couple months while I find myself a new car.

Corvette. Lol

C8 or Blackwing, but those odds are very slim.

Oh I didn’t think about that. Probably something to be said for going over MSRP for higher % profit, though doubt I would secure a C8.

Already found a dealer to host (only around 5 days wait). Now have to order my vehicle…not sure what to order at this point? Thoughts on Traverse vs. Silverado? Concern is a 40k Silverado is not the v8 4x4 truck that many people want…
