Looking to buy a used volt 2012. Found one that looks decent but....
- Carfax - It did have a poor condition report on and auction (3 owners) first one lost lease other two were dealers I think
New- Tires, Alignment, brakes, oil change
They said it had a leaky valve gasket on motor which raised maybe a red flag.
I checked the mileage on it and it seems off. Its lifetime it averages 60 mpg. But on the last charge it only averaged 30 and if you take the battery part off the gas part was around 24 mpg. That seems low. Its 30-40 temp in the area and I think they have not charged it much meaning its been on gas. 155 miles of showing card.
So I am thinking maybe that oil gasket was a leak and maybe the oil went too low on previous owner.
Also they did not know why it once got a poor condition rating at an auction. They did have to redo the leather on a seat from a spill but it looks ok. 2 new front headlights, 1 side mirror. No accident.
Look at the miles see if I am reading this right.
Could that low MPG on gas (24.5) be due to short non battery trips from the dealer? They said the battery has not been charged in awhile.
