What I thought I'd do was

The battery thing is what always gets me. Even if the battery was "only" 5k...I'd be more tempted to put that as a down payment on Volt 2.0 than throwing money at an old vehicle. Seems like a "disposable car" to me.
I also wonder how much of a bearing cold weather will have on the battery. Also I wonder how air conditioning, radio, heater, headlights, and other electronics will effect the battery. Seems like if you had the radio and air conditioner on it would cut that 40 miles the battery is supposed to last down a good bit. I could be wrong, but that's just my thinking. |
