| Price of the Chevrolet Malibu: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Got a really good lease deal. Didn't want to purchase a car at the time. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I bought my malibu used with 9000 miles. I got a very good price so I am happy with my decision. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Paid $23,049 for 2LT with sunroof |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Value packed - easily beats the competition on price, and GM incentives plus warranty make it a no brainer. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
We found this car used with 15,000 miles for about $5,000 less than any other used Malibu available. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The Malibu is a very quiet and refined car. It has decent handling and offers a lot of features for its price! The dealer incentives, combined with many positive reviews make it in my opinion a car that provides good value for the money. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I purchased new base model and have paid 2500 less than sticker price (60 month). |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 217-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I bought it used, depreciation is very high so it was very inexpensive considering the features and performance offered. It cost only 50% of list when only 23 months old. Since I intend to keep it for at least three year depreciation is not a concern. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Great vehicle to have! |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The price was over 10K less than Camry or Accord and actually had better safety and features. |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
cheaper than toyota or honda |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
Brand new, V6 for under 20,000, whats not to love about that? |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
Mid-model is well appointed at a reasonable sales price. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
Before options, vehicle MSRP was just over $22,000 for my particular model. Price was right in line with my budget. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Found a reputable dealer that could sell me one for about $2,000 less then any other dealer around me for the same vehicle. The price made the difference. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic AWD |
Best bang for your buck |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic AWD |
Got this car used for $10,500, well below Blue Book value. Even at list prices the car is a good deal for the money. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Reasonably priced. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Leased using Ford employee pricing. Nice car for a really nice price- only $225 a month (36 months). |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Low price for value. Low service costs. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Price was good |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Excellent value for the size of vehicle and space. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
For the price a nice car. Only if you drive it where there are no wet/snowy roads. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
For everything you get in a Fusion, the prices are dirt cheap. |
| Price of the Ford Fusion: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
10K more than a base Fusion. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
At list price this car offered very little the Prius did not, at a much higher cost |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Payments would have been a bit over my budget for the four-cylinder; out-of-reach for the six (no manual, either, so no sale!) |
