Price of the Chevrolet Malibu: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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.
