They were giving pretty big discounts in Dec I think. I don't think 10% off MSRP (or even more) would be out of the question. Maybe reach out to several dealers.
The dealer is likely including the tax credit in the advertised price.I was initially in the market for a used Prius and then realized that the Chevy Volt is eligible for $10K in tax credits (im in Mass).
I see a new Volt for around $25K after dealer discounts which is enticing, given the tax credits.
Question--is $25K out the door bottom of the barrel for a new Volt? I'd like to find it lower --(maybe low $20's is possible)---is this doable?
I don't doubt at all that you qualify for 10k in rebates/incentives...what I truly doubt though it that a NEW 2017 is listed for 25k that doesn't include this amount. Call them and verify. MANY dealers include the tax credit and that is deceptive advertising as it is NOT disclosed unless asked.i'm new so can't post a link --look up drive green, mass energy
There is a group rebate of $7500 plus $1500 in dealer rebates for a total discount of $9000
Total Price on Car $25,555

that's all I needed to see. I ended up buying at quirk, and not a single number on the bill of sale looked anything like the numbers that they had been tossing back and forth, except the bottom line. they applied several crypticly described credits that made no sense to me, In then end they appeared to qualify me for several discounts that I have no idea where they came from. (employee, supplier, politician, deceased, blind, etc) I would not likely go back, I walked out feeling like I needed a shower....
You got a good price, right? Others have said they're shady as well mainly due deceptive advertising...I have no idea what this program actually is...If I were in Mass I'd at least check it out the lower drive green (Quick) offer and walk away if I didn't like it...Should be pretty simple, send an email "If you can sell this car through the green drive program for $17XXX I'll be down today" See what they say at least you have a written copy...While I'd prefer to deal with honest no nonsense dealers, I have no problem doing business with the slimy ones as long I get the best deal...No matter how honest one thinks the salesman/sales manager is, always double check the paperwork...that's all I needed to see.

I had a bad experience at one of their NH dealers. I got the advertised prices but had to work for them in MA. 2 VWs, 1 Ford, 2 Kias. I got a great lease deal on my Optima hybrid because I leased two cars the same day.interesting you should say that--because I just had a horrendous experience at a different Quirk dealership. I have also been reading a bunch of reviews on this particular dealership and they are just like you say. BUT, question--did you end up paying what they quoted you? In my mind--if I have the expectation that the process will be a nightmare--but I end up with a price, it's almost worth the tradeoff (IMO). Note also there are other dealers involved offering a 'Green' Rebate--and are only slightly higher than Quirk.
This. You're certainly not going to get a base Volt at $33k MSRP discounted to "low 20's" before tax credits. You can get $5k off pretty easily, and maybe they stretched to $7k without the tax credit being factored in, but it seems doubtful.I have noticed that some dealers will quote the sales price of the Volt applying the tax credit. I would question a $25k price new for a 2017.
Nothing! Time to flip Volts!! WooooooooooooooHoly crap!

So the utility is funding these discounts?
Just a thought: What's to stop someone from buying a new EV in Mass. for a $10k discount + $7500 tax credit and then reselling it in another state?
