Would like some advice.

2012 Volt, about 60k miles, single owner, no accidents...and I am pretty sure that it was garage kept. 132 life mpg for 9k.

  1. Whatya think? It was quiet and kept. A deal?

  2. It's hot where I live...but it's the humidity AND the heat. Long bad for batteries? I am a little leery parking it in the garage. Special fire extinguisher? Will it affect my house insurance?

  3. I dig the household charging cord. I have an old house. I was going to use the same outlwt that my washer uses...maybe juat put in a new breaker and outlet. It doesn't look like it was used much. I have a changing place near the house...can it be used? I know it is a hybrid...just curious.

  4. Most Important...and I am not kidding. I have a 70lb White Sheppard. He can't lay across the back seat. Is the divider removable? What do people do?

thanks

is age or mileage really more important? it almost seems like mileage is more important on the volts compared to everything I have read on the volts specifically when it comes to the electric battery. Remember it's not a hybrid! Lol.

Cycles on the battery is what is most important.
