GM Says Dealers Aren't Pocketing Volt Tax Credit, But Aren't Passing It On To Consumers Either

According to a recent report by Mark Modica, published by the nonprofit National Legal and Policy Center, some Chevrolet dealers are selling Volts to other dealers and claiming the maximum $7,500 green-vehicle federal tax credit for themselves.

As second-hand owners, the dealers who bought the Volts then sell them used to private buyers, who no longer qualify for the credit. The credit is offered as an incentive to purchasers of alternative-powertrain vehicles like the purely electric Nissan Leaf and the Volt, a plug-in hybrid.

Uh...not GM's fault. Its just slimy Stealerships cheating each other. Bottom line is the consumer gets screwed.

The automotive industry would be so much better if we could just buy our cars direct from the manufacturer.

So is everyone who would prefer to buy directly from the manufacturer fine with paying sticker price and not negotiating anything including your trade value?
