#519 of 720 Re: 2008 Chevy Malibu LT1 [jfritsch] by mazda6dude May 09, 2008 (7:14 am)
Replying to: jfritsch (May 09, 2008 4:10 am) Thanks for the feedback. Got points and information. So far the lowest quote I have got for a 2008 Chevy Malibu LT1 has been $18840 including destination and TTL. It sounded like a good price. I will go test drive it this weekend and see if I like it. I really like the styling interior and exterior. Lets see how it drives. Replies to this message: beach15 (May 10, 2008 8:17 pm)

Replying to: mazda6dude (May 09, 2008 7:14 am) That sounds like a very good price for a typical 1LT. It all just depends on what the relation is to the invoice of any specific car with whatever options it has, then go from there.   Take a drive and see what you think. We love ours, and you should be impressed as most are...at least those who don't stick to talking about compact Mazda's or other imports as completely above and beyond such a supposedly lowly Chevy For what it's worth, this is the first car (and we've had many) that got a steady stream of comments and questions about it everyday for the first couple of months, has led people who saw it to buy one themselves, etc.   The Malibu 1LT is the most popular package, and the most common, as dealers will tell you--the cloth seated 4-cyl combo being a biggie in mid-size sedans.

Replying to: katyhy (May 08, 2008 8:58 am) still have to drive the Hyundai Sonata Ltd and that will end my test drives of the sedan vehicles.   You should definitely consider the Sonata. The thing is the Sonata won't have the handling and ride of the Malibu LTZ. It will probably have the feel of a luxury car not the sportier feel of the LTZ. I've been considering a Sonata, Malibu 2LT, & Fusion SEL as a possible replacement of my 2003 Sonata Lx in the next year. Very tough decision as I think all three are great. I just saw the 09 Sonata Limited a couple of weeks ago on the Dealer Lot. Fantastic looking both outside and inside. I haven't driven it yet but I might. Dealer's Internet Sales Guy quoted me the following: Limited V6 w/o Nav Msrp $26,400, would sell it for 24,303 (Total Invoice including destination $24,670) and with the $2000 total Rebates which include current owners the bottom line would be 22,303 plus Tax & Title. I have discounts on any Ford or GM product through my company as well, which makes the decision more difficult. I could get a loaded Fusion about $1000 lower than the Sonata with my X-Plan and the $2500 rebates that I qualify for in my local Market.

Replying to: jfritsch (Mar 15, 2008 12:57 am) While I agree with your post I find the Malibu gauges are a lot more pleasant to look at especially comparing to the G6 which has Pontiac orange as a theme. The Impala is a better deal for the money but once again the gauges look like GM has not learned their lesson and reused the same garbage they have been using since the 80's.   While I find the interior of Malibu the best of the bunch I feel that the Honda Accord EX appears to have the Malibu beat in the seamless engine/transmission interaction. GM should have priced the Malibu lower than they did too, in my opinion, because if I am going to be spending close to $30k I seriously need to know that the car is going to last. I know this to be the case with Honda but only hope this to be the case with Chevy.   The Sonata is a smart buy which appears to have been priced by a smart execs at Hyundai! OK I can get a 6 cylinder Sonata for how much? I have heard good things about these cars, the price is quite a few thousand less than the Malibu or Accord so maybe I would take a chance and buy one. The pricing shows some intellect on top of Hyundai which is in start contrast to so other car companies. It could be my imagination but I would almost swear that the execs at Hyundai dissected an Accord while designing the Sonata.   Replies to this message: pao (May 13, 2008 6:04 am) jaxs1 (May 13, 2008 6:15 am) pao (May 13, 2008 6:50 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: jimi4 (May 12, 2008 7:05 pm) the only problem I have with Hyundai and their other brand KIA, is there frequent scheduled and costly maintenance to maintain that wonderful 5-100k warranty....depending on the vehicle, and your dealership.....oil changes with the dealership, tune at 60K, timing belt 40-60K, differential and transmission flush every 30K......I havent checked into the Sonata recently....but you might want to check on the cost of scheduled and required maintanence as well....

Replying to: pao (May 13, 2008 6:04 am) I think that was made up. I never heard of timing belts changes being required every 40K miles or being required to have oil changed only at the dealership to maintain a factory warranty.

Replying to: jaxs1 (May 13, 2008 6:15 am) better read the recommended scheduled maintenace....I had a KIA that had a 60K interval for the timing belt replacement..... Hyundai may be different......the dealership specifically told me that if the scheduled maintenance was not done or properly documented...meaning I didnt have all receipts for materials and labor...that warranty work could be denied.....   just a small piece of advice...check the owners manual for maintenance intervals, and ask the service department........if you are looking at a Hyundai......

Replying to: pao (May 13, 2008 6:50 am) Not to keep this thread off topic (Malibu), but take a look at the ratings for reliability by Consumer Reports for a 2003 Sonata. For a 5 year old Vehicle 5 of 8 areas are excellent and the other 3 are Very Good the second best rating. One thing you are getting with the Sonata now is it's great reliability.
#527 of 720 press request by kirstie_h HOST May 14, 2008 (6:11 pm)
A reporter is hoping to talk with consumers who had considered purchasing a Hyundai Sonata and ended up purchasing another vehicle. Please respond to ctalatiedmunds.com before Friday, May 16, 2008 with your daytime contact information and what you ended up purchasing. Thanks, Chintan Talati Corporate Communications Edmunds.com
