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?

 
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?

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.

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.

Chevy Malibu lifeline??? by yash

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.

I dont forsee GM vanishiing completely.....most dealerships are independent franchises...so they will still be around to service cars....the small ones will close, the larger urban ones will survive....this issue is warranty work since that is paid back to the dealership by GM....I suspect the TARP money if approved will come with many of the same restrictions which were placed on the first loan $$.....
 
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 $$ regardless if the industry is to get the $$

gm has raised the prices on the malibu now. does not make much sense when cars are selling so poorly and the economy is not good. but then wagner knows it all.

most dealerships are independent franchises...so they will still
be around to service cars...

 
For how long?
 
Some five years ago, there were three GMC/Pontiac/Buick dealerships in
the ten-miles' zone around where I live. Now? Zero.
 
Five years ago, I owned and valued a Pontiac Bonneville -- but I would
not buy a Pontiac or Buick at any discount these days. The issue is
not so much a quality -- but where would I service it?
 
the small ones will close, the larger urban ones will
survive....

 
Doesn't look like it's the case with Pontiac/Buicks, does it? All
other things equal, the lower a make's dealers density, the lower the
brand's attraction. And things are by far not equal, not to GM's
advantage. When did you last see a person dreaming of purchasing a
Buick?
 
Chevy seems to be the only GM's brand with a meaningful chance of
survival -- but I am not quite sure it will, either. No matter how
much I love my current two Bu's, had I had to buy another car now, I
doubt it would be anything American. To hell with my GM Card points,
to hell with the discounts -- I have zero confidence that potential
problems would be resolved in acceptable time and in a reasonable
distance from home. (I am saying this as a delighted customer of
three Chevy dealerships around now -- but one of these dealerships
also bought a GMC/Pontiac/Buick business just three years ago... Took
them about a year to shut it down -- no demand.)
 
the union has a choice here....take the concessions and not wait until
2010 when they kick in anyway.....

 
Oh, no, they don't. Not anymore. GM cars have to be given out for
next to nothing in order to be taken en masse. This is not going to
happen for various reasons, so the union will have to find another
place to make their choices at. Ah, if only they fought for quality
when it mattered, how much happier we all would be these days...
