Used Chevrolet Spark EV for Sale in San Leandro, CA

I inquired about a car they had listed through cars.com from their lot. I received a call back quickly from the sales rep who was friendly and personable. I'm not sure if I'll end up buying from them, but I am several states away and they seemed well prepared for out of state transactions.

I bought a used car online for shipping in my Country. Dealer not always answer to mail or sms text, but anyway he is helpful and honest.

Art, Stewarts Cadillac Service Writer, is a great guy! Knows his stuff, doesn't mess around he gets it done right the first time and takes great care of his clients.

It was a nice car and if I lived in the city it would have been a nice buy, but I don't so it wasn't prudent.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

Holy crap I did not expect this kind of quality from a compliance car made by Chevy. It’s a tiny car that feels roomy inside due to genius design. So many upgrades like Bluetooth and leather seats that really I didn’t even pay for. The battery technology is what drew me to the car but I am so blown away by what I actually took home. There aren’t many of these out there but if you’re looking at one just go ahead and pull the trigger. They’re worth it.

Shift is a bit different as they are not actually dealers but consignment for the sellers. A slightly different yet interesting approach. They basically are a mobible auto selling business that comes to you. The cars are inspected, clean and offer competitive pricing. The salesperson lets you take your time, drive the vehicle and offers info and financing and extended warranty options. This is a great idea and hats off to the group who started this business.

The Spark EV is one of the best in city electric cars. It has plenty of range for day to day commuting and errands. The interior is surprisingly spacious and six footers fit easily even in the rear seats. Electric motor torque is fantastic and it feels strong, fast and powerful right up to its top speed of 90 mph. You will forget about gasoline prices and maintenance costs with this car. Charging with electricity is equivalent to paying about $1/gallon for gasoline. Car includes a level 1 charger which I have been using and is all you need to charge from a standard 120V outlet for typical commuting. It has been completely reliable and the only thing I've done is purchase tires for it. There is a lengthy warranty on the battery, electric motor, and other electric propulsion components; they are covered by an 8 year/100,000 mile warranty.

Carmax was very professional and great at helping me out with the car buying process.It was my first time getting a new car so they were a great help .They had me in and out with a car in no time .

This is a great little car capable of getting scratch at 40 mph as well as getting an average 5.5 miles per kw. I use this to get around and also do a real-estate photography side job that takes me on trips of 60-70-80 miles on winding country roads and two-lane highways. Mine is a 2014 model made in Feb. 2013 and started life as a GM corporate car in Michigan. It doesn't have the DCFC connection and the battery has degraded a bit to about 16kw from a usable 18 kw, despite its low mileage (bought from a private party with 9900 miles). Still traversing the rolling hills and country roads (avg speed limit 45mph) I've often logged over 6.0 miles per kw and pushed it as far as 89 miles the one time I entered reduced power mode.) I get 5.5 mkw using the ac. Using my invented metric - the 5.5 mkw times the avg cost of a gallon of a gas ($2.89) divided by the average cost of a kw from the local electric co-op, I'm getting 168 mpg$. If gas goes to $4/gallon, I figure I'll be getting over 220 mpg$. MPG$ is how far an electric car can go on the cost of a gallon of gasoline. Another SparkE reviewer said you ought to avoid public charging stations that charge, say $1/hr. My MPG$ when using those drops to about 44 mpg$ because of the paltry 3.3kw charger built into the car. But the mpg$ for those free chargers is over 10000 mpg$

Look around first so you understand that their prices can't be haggled but it is worth it. I couldn't find a single car within $1K of their price. And the quality of the car was outstanding. Easy. Great kid's corner keeps them occupied too. No pressure sales is a beautiful thing.

I have cars of different makes. The Honda dealership if Fremont, CA, has by far the best customer service. I even have my "personal" service consultant. He is familiar with me and my car, and everything is expedited. Unfortunately Honda does not make performance cars (Si is front wheel drive), so as much as I like Honda, they just make "family cars". And I'm a retired guy, who wants to go fast (or at least looking like he's going fast).

Amazingly fun to drive, in or out of the HOV lane. It's small, but it's up for the task of trips to Costco or to work and back. The torque is insane. You'll get where you want to go with a smile on you face for all the fun you had driving on battery power.

BMW of Fremont is more like your "neighborhood mechanic" than a traditional dealership (but in a GOOD way). They went over my vehicle and even things I suggested that might need to be serviced/replaced, they came back with an honest response "we don't believe that's necessary", rather than the typical experience where you go in for an oil change and come out with a list of 20 "repairs" you didn't know you needed at a horrendous price. They treat you like you'd treat you: honest, fair prices, and only recommend the truly necessary work, rather than pad the bottom line with unnecessary "inspections and preventative maintenance". I can respect that, and so should you.

It is hard to understand why more people don't choose to go all electric for at least one vehicle. I have solar panels and with a nice little EV like the Spark, you can save several hundreds of dollars per month. It has more power and acceleration than the gasoline version, all the amenities (AC, power steering with lots of airbags) and will handle 90% of my needs to run around town. If your total travel is less than 60 miles (which happens more often than you would think) it will get you there and back and at the same time pulling away from all the big diesel trucks (and almost any other car) off the line. Electric is the way to go.

This is a review of my SELLING experience to Carvana. I listed my car on Craigslist and was approached by an outsider buyer named Jan. She introduced me to Carvana, which I never heard of before, and it's process. She was very helpful and walked me through the process. The first deciding factor for selling to them was that they offered me the best price (vs. CarMax, Auto Nation, Trur Car). Then I realized the process was super streamlined. All I had to do was upload my documents and, after approval, schedule an appointment for the pickup of my car. Carvana sent a truck to COME TO ME to pick up the car. The driver (Lauren?) was very courteous and pleasant to work with, too. The pickup process, which included a one-mile test drive, took no longer than 20-30 minutes. Immediately after loading my car to their truck, I was handed the check, which I immediately deposited without any issues. My selling experience from being contacted by buyer to getting the check took just 10 days! (Would've been even faster if I was more timely with uploading my docs.) I'd highly recommend Carvana for selling your cars!

Excellent car, really fun to drive, Great range for one of the many sub 100 mile electric cars. Regen is amazing and much better than the Leaf... much closer to a Tesla. Everything about the car is well thought out & very nicely executed. The value is exceptional providing you lease then car to get all the incentives & discounts off the MSRP at time of purchase - which provides a great value. Then just buy out the lease if you prefer to purchase it over continuing the Lease. At the MSRP, this car will far short of what you would expect for a car at that MSRP. But even then its still a really fun car is you can afford it at MSRP. It is a cheap car just as the gas Spark is a cheap car, but the electric drivetrain, instrumentation, re-tuned suspension and added creature comforts are superior to many other sub 100 miles EV’s that cost much more, and that makes the Spark the perfect candidate for what an affordable electric car SHOULD be. Electric cars don’t need to be six figure luxury vehicles. The CCS fast Charger is an excellent option and a must have - recharging at 47kw is amazing & fast. Only a couple issues/cons I can see. The Spark is also much more efficient that our Leaf. We average around 5.5-6 miles per KW in the Spark, compared with 4.5 +/- in the Leaf - same driving on the same roads. 1) Chevy hobbled the Spark with a 3.3 kw onboard charger - any Battery electric car should have a minimum 6.6kw charger. Even with a 3.3 kw charger, it re-charges quickly and we get a solid 90-100 miles out of it - up to 120. 3.3kw charges are for plug in hybrids. 2) The heater is not a heat pump, rather, its an electric heater that uses more battery power than necessary. Not an issue for us in AZ as the heater is only used a hand full of days per year. The AC works great and is almost to cold at times. 3) Legroom - this is just my curse being 6’ 10’ tall - my knee hits the Knobs on the lower left console & is overall a bit tight. Bottom line - Even though our Leaf is more comfortable for me, I prefer to drive the spark and really enjoy it more than the Leaf.

Buying through Carvana was one of the best transactional experiences ever! I shopped for several months, test drove several cars to understand the models and features I was looking for. Then, boom, the car that matched come up in my search and I pulled the trigger. Within minutes, I had a value on my trade-in, purchased the car, (to include a very well priced extended warranty), and arranged for financing it through the Carvana website. And, while that was a very easy, non pressure experience, what made it really special was the delivery. Rachel, the Caravan rep, called me the day before the delivery to confirm, then called while in route to be sure not to leave me hanging. She was right on time, professional, and extremely upbeat. I had a genuine feeling that her priority was not only to deliver the car and pick up my trade in, but it was to make the final part of my experience a pleasure as well. Rachel was extremely knowledgeable of the process and did an excellent job of assuring I was informed of the "7 day, no questions asked, test drive" as well as the final paperwork to be processed. A few signatures and the trade-in was her's and the keys to 2014 BMW 535 were in my hands.

This is the best electric vehicle to invest into, if you are unsure of electric vehicles. Under $10,000 and you can have a vehicle which cost you approximately $0.02 or $0.03 a mile to operate.

Out of the blue I was contacted by a woman from Carvana on a Sunday when I actually had time to communicate. She and all of the subsequent reps who sent me information as I needed or requested it were professional and thorough. I was able to research the company online and was impressed with the entire concept of online selling and car buying and the ease with which I was able to find background information. Once I agreed to the offer I was taken step by step through the process. I was not confused even once by the process. I had nothing to do but gather my documents, upload them and then schedule a date for my car to be picked up and for me to be paid. The local rep. From Carvana came to my home exactly at the agreed upon time, was clear about what was going to happen, worked quickly and answered my questions. Once the papers were signed (I did not need to go to the DMV or AAA or to a notary) I received my check and my car was loaded on the one car hauler and driven away. I deposited the check that day and funds were available the very next day (which happened to be a Sunday). If I were not really strapped for time perhaps I could have made an extra $ 500-1000 overall by selling it to an individual but I would have worked very hard for that extra money and spent time I did not have available. Instead, I was not stressed by the extra work, my other responsibilities were able to be met and my car is off and becoming someone else???s beautiful Subaru. Thank you Jan and all the others who worked on the transaction. Judy R ...

I picked this used 2014 Spark EV because of the value and boy am I glad I did. With gas being so expensive this little car has already saved our family so much in gas costs. It’s reliable, comfortable enough for the commute and a joy to drive. I’m not sold on the looks all the way but I have something else to drive when I feed the need. I am now a full believer in RVs and will recommend a used one to anyone that asks.

Carvana has the most Happy & Helpful Reps. I have ever dealt with. I called a LOT leading up to my delivery, One poor guy was on the phone with me for nearly an hour trying to deal with my bank (it was fully automated and difficult), but the entire time he remained happy and kept chatting with me as we got through the process, I felt important and extremely valued. Anywhere else would have just put me on hold for ten minutes at a time, but not my new friends at Carvana! The entire Experience - from browsing online, to the first test drive - was very enjoyable ! I almost want to buy another car so I can do it all over again... it sounds like a joke, but you will understand when you experience it yourself. 🎶Car-vana-oooo-na-na🎶

There has been nothing I dont like about this little silent rocket except its almost killed a few pedestrians who run out in front of it hearing no warning, while on their DUMB phones. Ive heard better sound systems and wonder why no floormats provided with my 3 year lease? but hey its amazing how well built and fun it is to drive! especially on Ca Spare The Air Days! a guilt free ride that out- pulls muscle cars off the line. Just about ZERO maintenence and NO smog checks ever or tuneups on and on no tranny to flush cause it doesnt shift! or vibrate or stink gas cars are on the way out.

This car is probably my favorite car I’ve ever owned. It has so much instant torque it’s pulls at the skin on your face. Every day as I drive to work I’m just more and more happy with it. It’s sporty enough to have fun and throw into a corner, but economically I have spend a total of $15 on electricity for it in the 9 months since I bought it. Yes, the rated range of 82 miles won’t get you far, but I don’t go that far everyday, and seeing as I drive in the city to work and back home, I often times will see my range at 100-110 miles, and I barely have to try to reach that. The complaints I have all have to do with Chevrolet, it’s information/entertainment screen is god awful, and makes me dream of better U.I. Design, and the headlights are a bit big-eyed. But aside from that, I am happy with my purchase, and as long as the range could be managed for you, I’m sure it can work for you too. Also, keep it out of super cold climates, because that heater just sucks the batter away.
