Hello, I am very close to purchasing my very first ev. I had been looking at Nissan Leafs, but just last week came across a lightly used 2019 Bolt. Mileage is under 10,000 miles, and I found the battery had been replaced per the recall last April. The dealership had it listed at $26,0000, but I got them to drop the price by $1000 so it is eligible for the used car tax credit of $4000 plus a $2000 rebate in PA. The only concern I have is when looking at the Carfax, I see it was at a dealership quite a few times for "alignment". I searched through these forums and found people have had issues with the car pulling to the right. How much of an issue should I anticipate this being? I am going to schedule a test drive sometime on Saturday to check it out. I also saw there is an open recall for the seat belt exhaust possibly causing a fire in an accident. This seems like a really good deal and is about as new as a 2019 can be. Is there anything else I should look out for during the test drive? Thanks in advance for any advice!
A copy of the original window sticker says "CBT DC Fast Charging Provisions". $750 was added to the MSRP for this, so it must have the DC fast charging capability. Of course, I am really looking at this for commuting to work which is only 22 miles total per day.
I've been noticing it the first day that my car pulls to the left no matter what lane I'm driving. I took it back to the dealership and they drove it on the alignment rack to check. The mechanic said the alignment was fine. I also noticed the steering wheel is about 2 degress to the left when...
Yes, I have read all of the threads I can find on the steering pull issue. Some say it is no big deal, others not so much. I guess I won't know for sure until I test drive the Bolt.
My wife and I both drove the Bolt today. Neither of us experienced any kind of pull while driving, so I have no idea why the original owner had so many alignments done. Maybe it was actually fixed at the last alignment? In any case, we both liked the car and ended up purchasing it. I have a plug-in Prius, but this is my first fully electric vehicle. Now I need to read the owner's manual...
