Not sure how this popped up on the thread list, but let’s revisit this almost a year later. I’m not going to do a 2016 vs 2013 comparison because the 2016 Volt is all new – wouldn’t be a fair comparison.

But let’s look at 2013 prices within 25 miles of my home:

2013 Leafs (14): $11,900 average

2013 Volts (15): $17,900 average

2013 Jukes (8): $16,400 average

Looks like the Volt is still doing significantly better than the Leaf in resale value.

On used Leafs, don’t forget to factor in a new battery which can run $3000-5000.

I prefer the Volt to alleviate range anxiety, especially as battery range decreases over time. But a used Volt will cost more $$.
