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?

i'm going to high-ball it with a guess just short of 1/2 million, say 475k!
Personally, i think the volt and other vehicles like it (series hybrids) are just what transportation needs now... pure electric for short (common) trips and the ability to extend range using gasoline (or whatever generator fuel the future brings). If the bidders on the first volt agree with how significant an advancement this is, i can easily see the bids going higher. 'twould help if the car was actually already in showrooms though...
