Audia Chevrolet Now Offers Greater Value

The 2014 Volt model will start at $34,995

DETROIT – The Chevrolet Volt, already recognized for having the most satisfied owners will soon come with another people pleaser: a lower price. The 2014 model will start at $34,995, including an $810 destination fee (excluding tax, title, license and dealer fees).

If consumers include federal tax credits ranging from $0-$7,500 (depending on individual tax liability), pricing could start at $27,495. Individual tax situations differ, so consult a tax professional prior to claiming any credits to confirm eligibility for vehicle tax benefits.

“The lower price and cost savings from driving on electricity provide Volt owners an unmatched balance of technology, capability and cost of ownership.  “The 2014 Volt will offer the same impressive list of features, but for $5,000 less.

“Chevrolet have made great strides in reducing costs as we gain experience with electric vehicles
and their components,” Johnson said. “In fact, the Volt has seen an increase in battery range and
the addition of creature comforts, such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and MyLink, since
its launch in 2010.”

Volt owners who charge regularly typically drive 900 miles between fill-ups and visit the gas
station about once a month. The 2014 Volt will continue to provide owners with impressive fuel
economy of 98 MPGe (electric) and 35 city/40 highway on gasoline power without any need to
change their daily driving habits while saving $900 in annual fuel costs. Today’s Volt owners
have logged 364 million miles, including 225 million electric miles.

The Volt’s lower price also changes the comparative set of vehicles on popular auto information
sites like kbb.com, Edmunds.com and cars.com, where visitors to these sites can search for a
new vehicle by type and/or prices. The Volt’s lower price will broaden its exposure to price sensitive prospective buyers using these sites to search for a plug-in electric vehicle or a gas powered alternative sedan.

The Volt continues to be the best selling plug-in vehicle in America and is attracting new buyers
to the Chevrolet brand. More than 70 percent of Volt buyers are new to General Motors. Not
surprisingly, the Toyota Prius is the most frequently traded-in vehicle for a Volt.

California continues to be Volt’s largest market. The 2014 Volt will continue to offer a low
emissions package that earns the Volt a coveted “sticker” for single-occupancy HOV lane
access in California and New York.

The Chevrolet Volt allows gas-free driving for an EPA-estimated 38 miles (61 km), depending
on terrain, driving techniques and temperature. The range-extending engine gives the Volt up to
380 total miles (615 km) of total driving range. The 2014 Volt will start to be available in dealer
showrooms.  Chevrolet will introduce two new colors – Ashen Gray Metallic and Brownstowne
Metallic for the 2014 model year – and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Dutchess County Country Roads in The Summer

Get Your Vehicle Ready For Summer

Summer's heat, dust, and stop-and-go traffic, will take their toll on your vehicle. Add the effects of last winter, and you could be poised for a breakdown. You can lessen the odds of mechanical failure through periodic maintenance...Your vehicle should last longer and command a higher resale price, too!

Some of the following tips are easy to do; others require a skilled auto technician.

• Air Conditioning

  A marginally operating system will fail in hot weather. Have the system examined by a qualified technician. Newer models have cabin air filters that clean the air entering the heating and air conditioning system. Check your owner's manual for location and replacement interval.    See Audia Chevrolet's special offer 

• Cooling System

  The greatest cause of summer breakdowns is overheating. The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. (A 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water is usually recommended.) DIYers, never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled! The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps, and hoses should be checked by a pro.  See  Audia Chevrolet's special offer. 

• Oil

  Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage, or tow a trailer. See Audia Chevrolet's special offer.

• Engine Performance

  Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drive-ability problems (hard starts, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

• Windshield Wipers

  A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

• Lights

  Inspect all lights and bulbs; replace burned out bulbs; periodically clean dirt and insects from all lenses. To prevent scratching, never use a dry rag.

• Tires

  Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; check them while they're cold before driving for any distance. Don't forget to check your spare as well and be sure the jack is in good condition. Examine tires for tread life, uneven wearing, and cupping; check the sidewalls for cuts and nicks. An alignment is warranted if there's uneven tread wear or if your vehicle pulls to one side. See Audia Chevrolet special offer

• Brakes

  Brakes should be inspected as recommended in your manual, or sooner if you notice pulsations, grabbing, noises, or longer stopping distance. Minor brake problems should be corrected promptly.

• Battery

  Batteries can fail any time of year. The only accurate way to detect a weak battery is with professional equipment. Routine care: Scrape away corrosion from posts and cable connections; clean all surfaces; re-tighten all connections. If battery caps are removable, check the fluid level monthly.Avoid contact with corrosive deposits and battery acid. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.

• Emergencies

  Carry some basic tools — ask a technician for suggestions. Also include a first aid kit, flares, and a flashlight.

Introducing the latest concept car, Chevrolet Camaro Dusk.

Back in 2009, when the first of the current Camaro models started to arrive in dealerships, Chevrolet unveiled a unique Camaro concept model that showed its broad reach and appeal potential. The Camaro concept was named “Dusk”, and was developed with young, urban professionals in mind by delivering on a sophisticated look. 

The concept was very well received on the show circuit, and the Camaro Team went to work on applying elements of the concept model on a production model.

Today, Chevrolet is introducing the 2013 Camaro Dusk Special Edition. The Dusk Special Edition is an option package available on the 2LT or 2SS Camaro coupe or convertible models. The package includes elements of the RS Appearance Package including the halo ring HID head lamps, as well as the new for 2013 Blue Ray Metallic exterior color and factory installed 21-inch Bright Silver painted aluminum wheels with P245/40ZR21 front and 275/35ZR21 summer performance tires. The top is blue on convertible models.

The interior of the 2013 Camaro Dusk Special Edition features an exclusive Mojave leather-appointed interior with yellow stitching on the seats, shift knob, center armrest and steering wheel. The interior also features a soft instrument panel insert in the Mojave color and Blue Ray Metallic door inserts that also carries across the instrument panel.

The 2013 Camaro Dusk Special Edition is ordered by selecting option code CCS. It is now available through GM Dealerworld’s Order Configurator, and order submission will start in the next few weeks (please monitor the weekly constraint wire for exact timing).
