When GM killed the Bolt, I tried to buy one at two different dealerships near me. One wanted a $10k premium over MSRP and the other wanted $8k.

They also both had a non-negotiable "security" etching added and wheel protection whatever that I had to pay for.

It isn't that I didn't want one, it's that your dealerships fucked it up.

Honestly, may have settled for MSRP, but they wouldn't budge. Fuck off.

There are tons of used bolts at the electric car dealership near me, I think they start around $15 or $16k.
