So it seemed like a good thing in August when sales of the $40,000 car set a monthly record of 2,800. But a closer look shows that things aren't what they seem for the cutting-edge car. Sales rose mostly because of discounts of almost $10,000, or 25 percent of the Volt's sticker price, according to figures from TrueCar.com, an auto pricing website. Other pricing services gave similar numbers, and dealers confirmed that steeply discounted Volts are selling better than a few months ago. I already knew that. The price has been reduced from $40K to $30K. But that's not what you said, dumbass...........this is what you said: They're discounting them by $10,000, then the taxpayers pay 25% of what's left.
