Hey folks! I'm currently strongly considering a 2014/15 Volt (even 13 if it's in good condition/lower miles) to replace my wife's old gas guzzler, as sort of a cost-efficient, temporary car until we either get rid of our Leaf lease or the Volt for a newer long-range EV.

Context aside, I have been ideally seeking a Volt with the very cool WHITE dash! I've only seen a few, and then also stumbled upon some aftermarket sites that have dash kits for this. One I found on CarMax also had some awesome black and white leather upholstery! Was this an option that Chevy provided? Or is this something people are doing aftermarket? I don't want to be digging an endless whole if I'm trying to find something that doesn't exist, and I can just do it aftermarket.

Lastly, am I correct that rearview cameras are NOT standard?? If not, does anyone have any good recommendations for aftermarket backup cameras that don't cost a ton? This will allow me to find more options if I find a Volt that has everything I want, besides the rearview camera. (I'm ideally looking for a fully loaded Volt). Thanks!

There are low mileage 2013 Volts out there but the prices are as high as 2014/2015 models (unless you can bargain them down, I got my 2013 for $5,000 less than asking by sticking to my guns as they were "motivated to sell").

Back up cameras were only standard on the Premium Gen1's, optional on the base. If there is no factory back up camera as the is no hole for it you have to add through the back window style (not a good way to go) one so if that's what you want, hold out for it. Aftermarket backup cameras that are better are available for replacing stock ones if that's your thing.
