I bought it 3 years old coming off lease from a dealer and that gives a good sense of reliability as any original issues and warranty problems were behind it. Guy wanted $14,000, I got it for $12,500 . A great deal in my opinion And that for the best EV ever made... ;-) At the 7 year 6 mo point it gave an error signal to Check HV charging system and would not charge. I took it to dealer for first time and they did a code-load or something that solved it at no cost. I am convinced it was a pre-programmed fault included in the original code to give GM a chance to read the condition of the car as design feedback. Otherwise, since it had never been back to the dealier in 5 years, the GM system had never seen the car and had no data on its condition.. bob.
