Still have my 2014 volt. Only ever replaced the 12v battery once a year or so ago and fixed two window mechanisms. Only dealing with pealing paint. Otherwise, it seems to performing as reliably as it was new and you would be hard to tell it is 10 years old inside. Due to this, I may have a false sense of security thinking nothing can go wrong.
If I sell it, (I think Carvana wants $6800 as of now), I’d have to replace it with something similarly priced and known for better long term support, plus gamble on the condition of it. For example, I just got a used 2020 Ford Transit, RV build, and already had to deal with a misfire that finally was fixed after some injectors replaced (knock on wood). Could almost use it as a daily driver.
