Price of the Chevrolet Uplander: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.9L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 We bought our '08 Uplander in Jan. '09. It was 9 months old, with 28,000 miles, and it had dropped $14,000 from new MSRP, from $26,000 to $12,000.
2005 4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 It was the only van that we were able to get in our price range that also met our other criteria (mostly back seat room, ease of car seat installation)

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Chevrolet Malibu

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.
