| 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. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Dodge Journey
| Price of the Dodge Journey: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This is by far the BEST value for an entry level or lower level 7 passenger car on the road today. Ours came in, nicely equipped at just under $27k. |
| 2012 | 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
We happened to come across a dealer who was selling at invoice (although I'm sure they still made plenty of money), so there was no reason waste time with a painful negotiation process. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Price was great compared to its rivals. Little cheaper materials interior wise but I can live with it saving the money we did. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
For the same features, it was about $10k cheaper then the competition. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Most features I was looking for the money I wanted to spend,0% financing |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Low financing available at 4%. I paid just over 1/2 of MSRP with discounts/incentives |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
economical price well below comparable vehicles |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Price is thousands less than comparable Toyota, Ford or GM products. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The price was close to the Kia Rondo and Mazda 5 yet it came with many more features. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
affordable - under $25k |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
You can get into a new Journey for under $20,000 |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I bought this car with 19,000 miles and paid a little more than half of the MSRP. Chryslers should never be purchased new. They depreciate too quickly |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
We got a good deal. |
