used car of the day 2019 chevrolet bolt opel ampera e conversion

Today's UCOTD is an interesting EV. It's a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt Premier that comes with lane-keep assist, forward-collision alert, digital rearview mirror, heated steering wheel, heated front and rear seats, and Bose audio.

It's also been converted to an Opel Ampera-e.

Basically, it's a Bolt that has Ampera badging and the Ampera grille.

The car has 46K miles and some minor cosmetic damage, and the seller is asking for $24,000. Thanks to a recall, it has the higher-capacity 66 kWh battery pack, and the seller claims it has over 300 miles of range when the weather is warm.

Give it a look here if you're interested.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

"it's a Bolt that has Ampera badging and the Ampera grille."

EVs do not have grills.

  That one obviously does, whether it be functional or not.

wish They’d do an SS version of the Bolt. We need more electric hot hatches and this is a clean enough design that it would look good

3SpeedAutomatic A great opportunity for an auto maker (Toyota) who’s behind the curve in EV development. Fisker would be the Leading Edge division with trickle down technology to the other divisions as EVs eventually become mandatory.
Jalop1991 ES500eToo close to Fiat there, guy.
Astigmatism I consider myself a car guy, and I couldn’t pick the XT4/XT5/XT6 out of a lineup. Hell, until I read this article I didn’t realize there were three of them.I was interested in the CT4-V Blackwing when I was car shopping last summer, but the $62K MSRP turned into $90K+ list prices from dealers. Hell no I’m not paying optioned-up M3 Comp money for a slower car with that interior.
3-On-The-Tree Keep the 6.2L V8 as the standard engine and get rid of the other V6 turbo engine options. Cadillac needs to get back to their V8 roots.
Turbo Is Black Magic I would probably bet billions on a $350,000 halo car… but insist on bucking all buying trends and build a sedan with an ugly rear and awkward proportions.What do the peasants know anyway.Also more letters and numbers for car names, probably spend another $300 million to buy the YKK trademark… I know most of the common folk associated those 3 magic letters with a zipper they broke last week…. But close your eyes and picture a generic midsize CUV… now say YKK… get it?!Also move headquarters locations again. Kensington PA comes to mind… it can only go up!
