I'm glad the scrap value is good on the Gen 1 volts. I hope the price of battery rebuilds starts to come back down so that people can continue to drive them a long time. I still have friends that drive Gen 1 versions. That said, 2 days ago, I traded my 2014 Gen 1 in for a Tesla. No, I'm not a Tesla fanboy, either. I had just really wanted an AWD EV, for our rough winters, and the price cut they just had was enough to push me over the edge. I traded a 76K Gen1 in basically perfect condition. They gave me $7800 which was a little less than the OP and a little less than I would have liked to get, but was enough to get me to do the trade. A friend of mine traded his earlier this year for a Model Y and his was a 2012 with maybe 130K on it and they only gave him 3K for his, so I was a little worried it wouldn't work out well for me. If they wouldn't have given me at least $7500, my plan was to just keep it, as I really liked the car and it's still the only EV that I can drive an unlimited distance without hitting a charging station. My commute to work, when I go, is 5+ hours, and now I'm going to have to find a convenient route with fast charging. The Volt made that a non-issue. I owned 2 Gen 1's and loved them both, as well as loving my original '17 Bolt EV. GM did a great job. IMHO, their biggest mistake was not getting something out on the road that was mid-sized and AWD, about 5 years ago. They got a bit behind the curve at this point. At any rate, glad the Gen 1's are still a real viable vehicle!
