Description

Stop paying outrageous gas prices, and buy this lovely 4-door electric car for a bargain!

No more oil changes, smog checks, belt replacements, or engine problems! The only fluid is the windshield fluid!
This is the Spark's highest trim level, with leatherette upholstery, heated seats, and DC FAST CHARGING (a CCS port). That allows you to charge up at stations all over your town and everywhere else in 15-20 minutes, usually for a small fee. Every couple months, I was very glad to have that. I had "emergency tow" coverage on my auto insurance, but never used it. Check Plugshare.com for your nearby CCS fast charging locations.
This was my first electric vehicle, I was the second owner. I love it very much, but we are moving overseas for a year and I don't want it to get ruined sitting. I have been a clean vehicles aficionado for almost 15 years, and I can answer any questions you have about using this or other electric cars.
When full, it will tell you it has 60 miles of range, but that's its best guess based on my driving, because almost every mile I drove was on the freeway at freeway speeds. If you do any city driving or stop-and-go traffic, that will go way up, to about 80 miles. (On one trip, I drove from Prunedale to Watsonville to the San Jose Airport to Gilroy on one charge, 94.5 miles; but that will take some practice at steady driving. The cruise control will help you with that.)
As you can see in the dash photo, I've gotten 4.1 miles per kWh for the last 13,000 miles I've driven, which is extremely efficient, even among EVs. Any other 4-door EV, like a Tesla or Bolt, will use more electricity per mile and cost more to charge up. Your car, at 15 miles per gallon of .25 gas, costs 28 cents/mile to drive. On my PG&E "EV-B" plan, charging overnight, this Spark costs about 7 cents/mile. If you don't live out in the country like I do, you will be more efficient, and it may be more like 5 cents/mile.
I drove it to work every day and charged it for free on my employer's Level-2 charger, which could charge it from empty to full in about 5 hours. You may get free Level-2 charging at your work, hotels, malls, state parks, and other places that want to encourage you to visit.
The battery is warrantied for 10 years/150k miles: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/fact-sheets/california-vehicle-and-emissions-warranty-periods
I cancelled the XM Radio subscription for it about three months ago, but it hasn't stopped for some reason, so... enjoy! The console infotainment display is a nice touchscreen. You can connect your phone to it easily by Bluetooth, by USB cable, or by auxiliary cord, and listen to podcasts or Spotify or whatever you've got. If you're connected by Bluetooth, you can also send and receive calls hands free through the stereo.
If you pay for OnStar (I didn't), that gets you: directions (i.e. to the nearest charger/pizza/etc.), in-car Wi Fi, and the ability to monitor everything about the car (i.e. charge state, maybe location?) through the Chevy app on your phone.
The glove box is the only interior space that closes, but it has lots of little trays and cup holders between front/rear seats, in the doors and door handles, and on the dash. The interior is gray with blue accents all over, it's very pretty.
The only notable flaw is on the left side of the driver's seat, where the surface upholstery has been damaged. It does not penetrate the fabric, only the leatherette surface. I don't know whether that's from the sun or something in my back pocket, but a seat cover could cover that if that's important to you. My decals on the back are objectively awesome, but I will remove them if you want me to.
I will deliver to any town in the Bay Area, Sacramento area, or of course on the Central Coast where I live. I can meet you at a quickcharge station and will pay for the final fill up. Elsewhere in the US/World, I will cooperate with whatever shipping entity you hire.
