Sticker Shock on Chevy Volt

 

 

 

 

 

     
(Jim Hock) As most close to 463 will tell you, I have been super excited to get the new Chevy Volt.  What’s not to love with the eco-friendly features and limited amount of overpriced gasoline you have to buy.  But imagine my surprise after doing a ton of research to be told – when putting my $2,000 deposit down at the dealer yesterday – that there is a “dealer surcharge” that could range anywhere up to $20,000 on top of the MSRP.  Crazy.  The guy at the Koons dealer in Vienna, Virginia said that for me they would give the “reduced rate” of $8,000 down from $12,000.  Thanks, but no thanks.  And this was just thrown on at the end of the conversation and when asked what it was they said it basically was for paperwork and such.  Total BS.  
 
So I come to find out that this is not official GM corporate policy, but a policy that’s up to the discretion of the individual dealers.  Just another example of American car companies screwing up in the short term rather than long-term customer satisfaction.  And promulgating the sleezy reputation of US car dealers.   
 
Message to Chevy dealers – charge what you advertise up front.  Don’t play around. You’ve been in the wilderness for so long.  Don’t you go there again with these stupid practices.  I have been a totally committed Toyota-hybrid-Camry guy and was ready for a change. Maybe that has to wait a bit.

highlights (for me) included the 75-strong camp jam
(conducted by tony and resulting in monumental moments)

The University of Warwick has picked up on this there's an MA Public Policy here statring this year. There is not yet an institute dedicated to it but there are many academics in the politics and international studies dept that write on welfare and social policy. Is it not better to have it this way than cordon off those dealing strictly in public policy?

Hey Matt, I just found your blog today, and was happy to see that you found Beyond Good Intentions. I'm interning for Tori at the mnomet; I found her last year while I was in grad school for Sustainable Development at SIT in Vermont and the title of her website really hit me, as I was having a sort of major ideological crisis at the time (the WHAT THE &^%$ ARE WE DOING AND WHY ISN'T ANYTHING WORKING problem). Anyway, I'll be traveling to Madagascar to do some research for future case studies for BGI, mainly focused on the impact of the political crisis on the development sector (I was a Peace Corps volunteer there a couple of years ago ), and I'll be joining the ranks of development bloggers as well; I thought I should connect with you as we seem to have some things in common Sara

Although I was too young to see Hogan's Heroes, I spent many a night skating the Casino and lineistng to OS101, they're still one of my favorite NJ bands. As a young teen I even dressed up as Skip for a Halloween show at the Casino. Would love to hear more from him in the future.
