Would you pay $465,000 for a used GM?
Although we don't have any third-party confirmation, it appears that somebody paid $465,000 Canadian ($431,835US) for a used 1998 General Motors EV1 somewhere in British Columbia -- how's that for resale value? Apparently, a tipster spotted this ad in the Victoria classifieds and forwarded it to our friends at AutoBlogGreen. As it stands, the status of the EV1 is listed as "SOLD," and the owner's contact info has been removed. Did somebody meet this asking price?According to the seller's description, this person's grandfather prepaid for the infamous EV1 back in 1995 -- just as people are lining up to buy the new Chevy Volt today. Hopefully, the Volt's story won't end in a controversial cancellation, like the GM's first electric car. Since the EV1 has become somewhat of an icon in both automotive and now documentary film history, I think the car could bring some pretty ridiculous offers -- I don't know about $431K though. With only 88,000 miles on it, this EV1 could easily be someone's daily driver.
