I just noticed that your post was from 2020 so it's really old and I'm sure you figured out and bought or not bought the 2019 Bolt with that many miles on it. I bought my 2019 Bolt Premier last April 2024 with 98,500 mi on it. I'd never in a million years would have purchased a car with that many miles on it from a dealership or from anyone for that matter, but and it's a huge but, it was the only thing that I could buy. I had purchased a 2020 Chevy spark gas engine in September of 2022 and the transmission started going out on it at the end of 2023 or the beginning of last year. I didn't realize that that's what was going on though and I've had an accident in it and had not gotten it fixed because for my own personal reasons but finally got it running and then that's when I started having transmission issues not long after that so I don't know if the accident caused the issues but anyway that's neither here nor there. I had no choice but to buy the bolt and I knew nothing about electric cars except that they were electric. I saw how many miles were on it and I said oh God and they wanted $17,000 for it. And it's a dealership that I didn't care for either because they try to screw my mom over and we busted them a few years ago and my mom quit taking her vehicles to them to be serviced cuz she's a Silverado chick. But the guy was really nice and then he said he couldn't do it and I wasn't too upset except I didn't have a car that was running and I had no money and couldn't work because I do doordash so the next morning he contacted me and said his manager had come in a different one and he could do it and could I get down there and I don't even know how I even had applied to get this car I don't even recall I just must have been cruising around online and found it and or found them or they found me I don't know really. I was getting desperate cuz I needed a car badly and I had to borrow 20 bucks for my friend just to get an Uber over there and with already having a loan on my spark, they still let me walk away or actually drive away in a 2019 Chevy Bolt with 98,500 mi on it with no money down. I don't have very good luck. But every once in a while, I'll be in a really bad situation, and something like this will happen. I call it a cumulative effect of good karma points but whatever it is, it couldn't have happened at a better time. I put $0 not even a penny down on this car and my monthly payment is less than it was on the spark and my credit rating is not that great and it's really not great now but anyway, yes it was worth it for me because even though they charged me away higher price than what you're looking at, they gave me the $4,000 tax incentive and that's what they used for my down payment. Without that I don't know what I would have done because I could not afford to replace the transmission and all the other body work that needed to be done on the spark and the spark only had $98,000 miles on it itself. And then it got towed not long after I got the bolt and there's no way I was going to be able to afford to get it out of the tow yard so I just let them have it. It was damaged pretty bad still drivable but I'd hit a guardrail and spun out not in that order spun out and then hit the guardrail after hitting some gravel and I couldn't get any traction. Then my ex-boyfriend's friend came by and got pissed off at my boyfriend and the guy was drunk and decided that he was going to try to rip off my passenger side door and must have kicked or punched it and there was a huge dent in my passenger door on top of the other front and driver side front panel damage from the accident that I just was not going to be able to fix. So yes after all that the answer is yes you will be very happy in here well used Chevy Bolt. Knock on wood I've had absolutely no problems with it except a woman backed into me 3 months after I bought it of course cuz that's what always happens, and someone had shot out my passenger side window while I was on the freeway driving with a pellet gun or something and that was a $400 fix so I claimed my friend when the lady backed into me, hit the window cuz he was surprised at the accident with his elbow and that's how it was broken and their insurance paid for it. There was no way I was going to be able to come up with 400 bucks for that window I had too many other things to pay for. So this little bolt has been a dream come true and even though my last boyfriend trashed the inside of it with him and his damn dog bringing his damn bike into it and getting grease and dirt and crap all over it and got orange fluorescent paint on the back seat that he never cleaned and spilled all kinds of stuff on the floor and made a huge mess in it, it's been a great car. I now have 121,000 mi on it and I've not had it serviced one time. Not even a tire rotation which is terrible and I need new tires now. But yes go for the bolt it is an awesome car I couldn't love it more and this little guy will cruise up this grade that we have that's I think six and a half percent with all my crap in it cuz I have a lot of stuff in my car at all times All my crap it will glide up that grade passing every big SUV with their V8 engines at 75 mph without a single cough, chug, glitch, nothing this car hauls ass. It's got so much get up and go you wouldn't believe it for something that looks just like my Chevy spark but is slightly bigger. And when I saw it parked I was like oh my God it's just like my spark but then I was like no it's bigger okay cuz that spark is dinky. This car is not big either but man I have passed and raised people up that grade in challengers, chargers, SUVs like Lincoln navigators and I have kicked all of their asses going up that grade. Lol of course I'm kind of a crazy driver as well but anyway I love it I don't know if I would ever buy another one just because it's not really copacetic for me cuz I charge it every single day and it cost me as much as gas pretty much because I put so many miles on it I put over 100 miles on it daily so but it has been worth every penny and just to be able to get it with no money down nobody else was going to do that for me and there was no way I was going to be able to get a car with less miles on it I just jumped on it because I had no choice it was either that or have nothing and sit there and not know what the heck I was going to do holding signs in front of Walmart so I can have money to eat that's how bad it was. So this little car saved my life and it's a better red than my spark was I got the Cajun red and when I saw the color I was like oh my God how did they know how did they know I would love this color? I didn't want to white car although I would have taken it if it was bright yellow I would have taken it and I hate freaking yellow and orange and I would have taken it if it was bright freaking fluorescent orange I would have bought it still cuz I had no other options. I hope that you get as good of the deal on yours and I hope that you love it just as much as I love mine cuz it saved my life and you know what I haven't even named it. I need to name this car I haven't even named oh yeah I did I named it my red roller skate number two but that's not really a good name for it cuz the other one was the red roller skate. I don't know I'm blabbing I'm sitting here in tears thinking about what happened last year and how I was able to get this car and I was so lucky. And you'll never hear me say that I'm lucky because I have really bad luck usually but someone was looking out for me on April 9th last year and got me hooked up and dialed in to this car and I couldn't be more grateful.
