Replying to: coasterguy (Nov 26, 2008 7:35 pm) again...the cars you name in my mind arent in the same category as the Malibu..apples to oranges in comparison....with the CTs and the G35, you are looking at initial entry level sport luxury cars.....I looked at the malibu...have an 04 malibu maxx lt that I was completely happy with...135k and still going.....looked at the G35, the Maxima, didnt consider lexus due to a coworkers bad experience with his...and the local dealership......I went with the CTS...loved the lines.....and the ride and feel is nothing like the new malibu......as well as features...but again....the CTS was 20K more than the Malibu LTZ fully loaded.....I wouldnt compare the Malibu to any of the other cars...different category and price ranges...   again you say the best bang ....but what are you looking for...transportation, luxury sedan, family car....good on MPG...etc.....I went for the CTS because I was in a position to move up to a luxury level.....GM had employee pricing at the time....which compare to the redtag sale ongoing..saved me an addition 7K....price difference on the CTS.....my MPG is around 24-25 on average....as much as 30 MPG on the highway and the features are well beyond the malibu....G35 was the same price range...was smaller and go less gas mileage and different offer the same features.....maxima slightly less..but still pushing high 30sk for price....plus the maxima lines didnt appeal to me....   would I have been happy with the new malibu...probably......but I wanted to step up in comfort, features and looks,,and simply because I was now in a position in life to afford the CTS ........again..personal choice

Hi, I'm new here. Great site!! I am looking at a 2009 Malibu LTZ, black metallic, 4cyl, 6 speed, ebony/brick int, sunroof, etc (fully loaded) After some rebates and GM employee pricing they offered $22,524 (not including tax).   What do you think? Sound good or not? Just thought I would ask the experts. Replies to this message: bwia (Dec 04, 2008 4:26 am)

Replying to: jfritsch (Nov 27, 2008 2:27 am) I have almost no brand loyalty, especially for American cars. I get what's best for me.   I owned a Hyundai Elantra from 2001-05, now own a Kia Optima. Neither gave me a bit of trouble. However the Malibu Maxx I own has also been nearly flawless. Although the Maxx is out of warranty, its maintenance is FAR less than the Hyun/Kias. The GM oil life monitor is very conservative, set to dino oil and shows changes at about 7,000 miles. To keep the Kia in warranty I have to follow a 3000 oil change schedule, stretched a bit with highway mileage. Most of the other fluids go about 300% greater than the Korean cars. That's how they pay for that long warranty--keep you coming back for service. The GM ohv 3.0 liter engine (sorry it's going away, it was a workhorse) gets better mpg-- especially around town-- than the Kia four.   I like both cars but my Maxx is the best car I've ever owned. So sorry GM was so narrow minded that they never marketed it. Would have loved to see it carried forward to the next generation. Replies to this message: csandste (Dec 05, 2008 7:49 pm)

I would consider it a steal--so grab it while the offer is still on the table. What is the MRSP as optioned and which dealership is offering this deal as I am in the market for an LTZ also. Somehow, they have to make up the loss so perhaps they low-balled you on your trade if you had one.

Replying to: csandste (Dec 03, 2008 9:42 pm) Meant 3.5 liter. Sorry for the missing 500 cc's.
#569 of 719 2009 1LT with 6-speed by zornundo Dec 11, 2008 (7:25 am)
I just received a quote on a 2009 1LT with the 6-speed auto as the only option. Quoted price is $20,107 + TTL. Good or not good enough?
#570 of 719 2009 2LT V6 Malibu by yash Dec 14, 2008 (5:46 pm)
How does 21k + TTL for Chevy Malibu 2LT sound in the bay area? please let me know your thoughts on this deal. Replies to this message: beach15 (Dec 15, 2008 6:09 pm) yash (Dec 15, 2008 6:55 pm)

Replying to: yash (Dec 14, 2008 5:46 pm) Options? MSRP? Etc? With the V6, it should be $27k'ish, a little higher or lower, so already does sound like a good deal, yes. Just more specifics would help.   At this point, it would be hard pressed to run into any car deal that wasn't "good". Given the Red Tag supplier price minus all the rebates & cash possible, you're good to go. Replies to this message: yash (Dec 15, 2008 6:55 pm)

Replying to: beach15 (Dec 15, 2008 6:09 pm) Hey thanks for the reply, this chevy malibu 09 msrp was 25+k. we liked the color and the two tone leather trim better than camry and i think 21k was a good deal for it. no extra options at this point.   i hope there isnt a catch here thats why i wanted to ping the community to see if anyone else also got similar deals.
#573 of 719 Chevy Malibu lifeline??? by yash Dec 15, 2008 (7:00 pm)
So lets all hope that GM never goes down and American automakers get another life as they emerge out of this economy...   but what if...GM and Chevy disappear off the map? Wouldnt that make cars like Malibu (and a host of other American cars for that matter) a dangerous proposition? We wouldnt know how/where to get it serviced, spare parts etc. might be a challenge.   I need to hear from the community on what are their thoughts and basically instill some courage in me so i can pull the trigger on the malibu iam especially concerned about the re-sale value depreciation and servicing challenges if GM closes shop forever.
