The thing that helps the public in purchasing something that has so many options, such as a car, is price. That said, a lot of people have jumped on the band-wagon of wanting to reduce their carbon footprint. For some time now we have only seen a few cars that come in a hybrid or electric version. The Chevy Volt has just been added to that list. Some consumers have seen the car, wondering if it would ever show up on the streets that we drive, and never thought about it again. Until now. The Volt’s starting price will be $41,000, in which a $720 destination fee is included. Don’t know what a destination fee is? Your Overland Park Chevy dealer would be happy to try and answer that question for buyers. Since not everyone can afford to write a check for that amount, the lease amount for three years is $350 a month with a $2,500 down payment.  If a consumer leases the Volt, from a Kansas City used Chevrolet dealer for example, a $7,500 Federal electric-vehicle tax credit would be accounted for in the lease calculation, going to the Kansas City used Chevrolet dealer and not the consumer. However, if you decide to actually purchase the car from such an Overland Park Chevy dealer, then the $7,500 would go into your pocket.

Some buyers may be skeptical in purchasing an electric car for the first time, especially one that hasn’t been seen on the road yet. This vehicle has an 8-year, 100,000-mile warranty on all the electric components. Also there are only going to be  10,000 produced in 2011, and 30,000 more in 2012.  These two things are what allows the lease terms to be so affordable.

In today’s economy, buyers want the most they can get for their money, and this car comes with everything you may need, such as eight airbags, five years of Onstar service, and Bluetooth. The car comes with four upgraded options, such as adding leather to the seat and steering wheel.  Get ready; You too can start removing your carbon footprint soon.
