Yep, but I don't know if the stop sale and dwindling inventory is the reason for the price increase, or if it just happened to coincide with used vehicle prices skyrocketing.

Used Bolt values were lowest in early February, and peaked in July. They are slowly heading downward again, but have about $5k to drop before they are back at February pricing.

Maybe by next Feb the real deals can be had. The Bolt is likely to either get new batteries with a small upgrade in capacity, or favorable buyback offers. There's potential profit in there somewhere if only I could figure out where I placed my crystal ball.
