What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Chevrolet Volt
| Price of the Chevrolet Volt: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD |
There are good deals out there for leases. My total monthly cost (including down payment taxes & fees) is $290/month |
| Price of the Chevrolet Volt: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD |
I'm an early adopter of the technology and I realized the additional cost of that role when I bought the car. But it's still an expensive ride & many can't/won't pay this price. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Buick LaCrosse
| Price of the Buick LaCrosse: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Low residual values make it expensive to lease. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
A bit overpriced considering the differences between Impala and LaCrosse. |
