Replying to: jfritsch (Nov 27, 2008 2:27 am) 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.

Replying to: shaqdaddy34 (Dec 03, 2008 7:32 pm) What do you think? That is a phenomenal deal. 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. |

| 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? | |
How does 21k + TTL for Chevy Malibu 2LT sound in the bay area? please let me know your thoughts on this deal.

Replying to: yash (Dec 14, 2008 5:46 pm) 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.

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.

Replying to: yash (Dec 15, 2008 7:00 pm) the union has a choice here....take the concessions and not wait until 2010 when they kick in anyway.....I believe it will all be tied to the TARP $$ regardless if the industry is to get the $$
