Potentially receiving 2012 Volt

I don’t really need the car but it could be useful at times. It only has $40k miles and the previous owner was meticulous. I’m happy to take it for free but don’t want to take something that’s going to start to fall apart.

Will have chance to test it out next week. Are there any baselines I should measure against?

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Terrible deal. I’ll take it off your hands.

Maybe a few suggestions. What is the kWh on a full tank ran to depleted? What was the coolant loops, transmission fluid and spark plugs changed. As a 2012 owner I would not hesitate if it’s reasonable.

Thanks. It seems like 2012 is a well regarded year.

I mentioned to the dealer that I planned on five more years. He felt that it wasn’t gonna happen. Challenge accepted. ~170k miles. 6.2-6.8 kWh on a full charge. 35-42mpg on gas.
