#500 of 536 Re: Wake Up! $17,600? [aftika] by bwia Mar 13, 2008 (4:08 am)
Replying to: aftika (Mar 12, 2008 6:54 pm) Was this brand new or was it a demonstrator? Wow, that is a phenomenal price, sort of makes me feel like we were raped. We paid $19,610 (MSRP $20,225) in Boston for the LS but we added after-market leather for an additional $1,300. Good luck with your ride. Nice car only positive comments from all who've seen the car. It's like a driving bill board for GM.
#501 of 536 2008 Malibu LS by gary11112 Mar 13, 2008 (2:30 pm)
MSRP - Base, Floor Mats, and Dest - $20075   Paid - $18997   Bought in Frisco, TX   Personally, I'd prefer a prostate exam over the new car buying experience. This was no exception.
#502 of 536 Price of Malibu by jfritsch Mar 15, 2008 (1:57 am)
In doing some research it says on edmunds here that the 2007 -Pontiac G6 sedan is based on the same platform as the new malibu and saturn. A 2007 used g6 4cyl msrp 21000 barely wholesales for 12000. This is a GM car very similar to the malibu, although I like the malibu interior better. Its highly likely though the malibu will wholesale about the same.   Currently the G6 incentive is about 3500 off and 2.9% for 60 months.A purchase about invoice would put one at 4500+ off with the 2.9%. The msrp on both vehicles is similar.   Don't pay msrp for a malibu. You want at least 4500 off the base and much more off the 24000 LT 4cyl. You can get one helluva Impala LT3 3.9v6 loaded msrp 25000 for about 19000-20000. Give it a little more time for production to fill the lots, if it hasn't already.   Good luck --jjf Replies to this message: jaxs1 (Mar 15, 2008 8:30 am) beach15 (Mar 16, 2008 4:09 pm) jimi4 (May 12, 2008 8:05 pm) pao (May 13, 2008 7:04 am) jaxs1 (May 13, 2008 7:15 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: jfritsch (Mar 15, 2008 1:57 am) There is no reason to pay MSRP on a Malibu especially since people don't need to pay MSRP for a Camry or Accord. However, just because a G6 is on the same platform, doesn't mean a 2008 Malibu will have the same resale value as a G6. Resale value is determined by supply, demand and desirability, not platform.   Since the new Malibu is much more desirable and much more highly rated in reviews and has better styling in and out than a G6 and is also in much lower supply since there will not be so many 1 year old ex-rentals competing with new Malibus, it will have better resale than a G6.   The new Accord will probably have the best resale because it has the fewest ex-rentals competing with new Accords, but the Malibu will at least be much better than a G6 in resale.

Replying to: jfritsch (Mar 15, 2008 1:57 am) No, it WON'T, because the Malibu is not and will not be fleeted to the level the G6 ever was, and is a significantly better car. The G6 is thought of as Version 1, of sorts, for the platform and doesn't have the styling, refinement, or interior the Aura or Malibu, especially, do. And it is fleeted HEAVILY, and has very poor resale because of that.   The Malibu will not, years down the line, sell used for only a couple grand under new...but continually looking at the Impala, G6, etc. and what has happened with them are bad examples--all vehicles, from the getgo, acknowledged as being highly fleeted, sold at great discounts, etc. The Malibu is one of the later vehicles that is working to change this greatly, and will, with continued success.   And your idea of discounts on the Malibu is INSANE. The reason you can get thousands off of an Impala is because there are rebates, bonuses, etc. always laying on the hood. With the Malibu, as with a most newer and newer GM's, there is a very small margin between invoice and MSRP, so very little dealers can cut into for discounting and no cash on the hood to further subtract.   The absolute best deal you will get anywhere, for some time, will be a few hundred under invoice and that's it. Just because you can get a loaded Impala on a 20 year old platform and with a gruff V6 for close to the same as a loaded 4-cyl Malibu...that's not a valid point of comparison. The Malibu is a more sophisticated and refined vehicle, on a much more modern platform, has no rebates, etc.   Again, it's not perfect, but some of the illogical posts people are pulling out of their behinds on Edmunds in regards to the Malibu are incredible, and not in a good way.
#505 of 536 Help With 2LT 2008 Malibu Lease Offer by g6leaser Mar 19, 2008 (6:24 pm)
Hello all, This was my first trip to a local Chevy Dealer with a test drive of the 2008 2LT Malibu - had premium audio package and sun room. (MSRP $25,015). I have the GMS Supplier Discount Rate $23,982.04. Here was the first offers, any help getting these lower would be much appreciated...   - plus I'm doing the pull-ahead program (have 3 months left on 2005 Pontiac G6 Lease)   $1,000 down - quoted 3.15 APR For 39 months (12k/year) quoted $373.31 For 39 months (15k/year) quoted $393.40   Is the residual % still %50 for the 2008 Malibu? I went online and used a lease calculator and with the same figures it came up with $333.96 - but I don't think I included delivery charge or any other fee's - not sure what they are.   Any advice to go in and negotiate this under $350 would be much appreciated - please respond here or email erodamanoptonline.net   Thanks, ER
#506 of 536 2009s This Summer by jaxs1 Mar 31, 2008 (12:33 pm)
There are some paint color changes. Power adjustable pedals no longer available 6-speed automatic available on all 4 cylinders except LS. Bluetooth available on most models except LS. Stability control now standard on all including the LS.   They will start taking orders for 2009s in a few weeks and start actually building them around June 16th so dealers should start getting the first 2009s by July.

Replying to: jaxs1 (Mar 31, 2008 12:33 pm) Interesting that they decided to drop power adjustable pedals - not that I mind that much, but they do lend a bit of an upscale cachet to the car. Very much looking forward to the 6-speed auto paired with the 4 - I test-drove a new Malibu a couple of months ago and was pleasantly surprised at the strength of the 4 - the 6-speed should bump up MPG slightly. Also great to hear about stability control - that's quickly becoming an expected safety feature.   Any news on '09 pricing? Dual-mode hybrid? Replies to this message: jaxs1 (Apr 06, 2008 8:35 am)

Replying to: personatech (Apr 06, 2008 5:37 am) The never announce pricing this far in advance and they haven't said anything about a new hybrid coming at that time. Most likely, pricing will be announced by June.
