1st production Chevy Volt - to the highest bidder
« on: December 04, 2010, 07:46:42 AM »
The 1st production Volt is for sale to the highest bidder.  The bidding closes on Dec. 14th.

Does anyone have at least $250k laying around they can spare?

In a word - no!  I don't even have $41,000 laying around - looks like a nice car though!

How about a friendly pool to guess the final bid ?  $1/person?

I can handle $1, i'm in!  It appears that the vehicle will meet its promise of being on the road in 2010.

I was told by an engineer at the Michigan Volt battery plant that the first one will go to President Barrack Obama.

This car's VIN is 1G1RD6E4BU100002 maybe Barrack is getting 1G1RD6E4BU100001?
