I received a letter from Chevrolet telling me they were pulling out of the UK but would still continue to provide servicing at my approved centre where I purchased the car from in Edinburgh. I've just had the first service done and they no longer sell chevys although they are one of the approved dealerships for the Camero which along with the Corvette are still going to be available in the UK.(Never produced a right hand drive in those). It would actually be better for me if Vauxhall took over the servicing as my local Ampera dealer is in Inverness, 110 miles away as opposed to Edinburgh which is 265 miles away.
Trade in values are already down, while I had mine serviced I got a trade in price for a new PHEV.

Out of interest Mick, what did they offer you for your car? And how many miles, how old is it? Useful background info...
A very disappointing £17.5k (Auction price) for a 1 year old 3000 mile vehicle with sat nav and polished alloys, especially when they are selling for between £21- 23k on Auto Trader. That was against a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV GX4h with optional paint and 3 years servicing. Thankfully the PHEV did nothing for me, the Volt is a far better car for my usage.

Just passed Belmont Kia in Edinburgh, they have a 13 plate Volt for £19995 down £2k from yesterday.
Maybe that's a result of the price they offered me against a new Outlander PHEV. I would hazard a guess that was their Volt demonstrator as all the Chevy's have disappeared from the showroom being replaced with Mitsubishi's. They are still the only approved Chevy Service agent for the Volt for Scotland and the North of England, but how long is a piece of string. lol
