In reply to Dustin DaWind. I am thinking the same way and wondering how insurance companies will classify it.

In reply to Dustin DaWind. I called a dealership in Maryland and I also spoke with the GM Volt advisor. My findings were even more painful....Dealers cannot sale the car to "non-residents" and the car can't be titled in my home state. UNBELIEVABLE!

Uhhh, not sure where this guy is getting the idea that the Volt is a sports car. The Volt is many things…The Volt is freakin’ sweet…A sports car it is not. 0-60 in 8.5 seconds. Top speed of 98 MPH. MSRP of 34 grand. Need I go on?

In reply to Rick Overton. That sucks dude. If I were you I would order one from Maryland and then just take a day off from work (heaven knows you need it after all that) and drive over and pick it up. I have the opposite problem. I started my job in June so I will not have enough reportable income this year to take the full tax credit. So I can't buy the car until at least January.

After GM introduced the car and announced my State (WV) would have to wait until Oct. 1, 2015 to order, I worked over 642 hours of overtime spending at least six (12 hr. days/nights) at my job each week. Sometimes I worked all seven days each week. I knew this would raise my tax bill next year but I was counting on the $7, 500 federal tax credit to offset that problem. Just days ago GM changed the plan and announced the car will not be sold in my state until Spring of 2016. Now I am not eligible to buy the car, I will not be eligible for the tax credit, and I will have to use most of my down payment saved up from all the overtime worked to pay my taxes next Spring. So I have lived at my job for the last five months and will have nothing to show for all my labor. I feel very CHEATED by GM!
