09 Malibu LS base + side moldings + mats by famus

Hi,
Is $18500 OTD a good price for a new 09 Malibu LS base + side moldings + mats? MSRP is $21650. It's in California with 7.75% sales tax. Thanks a lot!

No! Anything beyond $17,250 OTD is too much. By the way, a good way to upgrade is to buy the base LS and install after market (Katzkin) leather. That's what we did and we are extremely satisfied with the result. It only cost $1,300 more for the two-tone cocoa/cashmere combo.

Thanks. But the three dealers I went to would not lower even to $18300 OTD. Some insisted on selling at over $19000 OTD. And that's the low LS model. How can I make a good deal? Now it will very near the end of the year, will I get a better price? Thanks.

Just some food for thought. $18.5K OTD for a 2009 Base LS Malibu is pretty good. Comparing it to other base midsize sedans, that is a really good price. I bought a Accord LX automatc (base) for $20K OTD less then a year ago. Resale value is another factor to consider. How long will you keep the car?
 
The new Malibu has held its value better then previous Malibu's, if you check on kbb. On the other hand, I have seen used 2008 Malibu LT1 and LT2 going for $18.5K OTD with about 10-15K miles on them. Something to consider. If you plan on keeping the car for a long time (over 5 years), I say go for the deal.
 
Regardless, the Malibu is a very nice car.

I just purchased a black 2009 LTZ 6 cyl with sunroof for 22,600+TTL. Additionally I was able to use 3,117. of GM credit card $ and a 6,000 trade for a net cash cost of 13,483 + sales tax of 1,776.75. Very professional people at Conte in Freeport LI

Terrible John L.Sullivan Chevy Dealer by famus

My wife and I just came back from John L. Sullivan Chevy dealer in Roseville, CA. The sale manager was unbelievably rude and drove us out the door by the rudeness. We agreed on a OTD of 18500 over the phone with a salesman, but we had a glitch at the dealership with the GM card credits. The manager just went ballistic after 15 min of trying to figure the problem out. We were called "terrorists" and "game players" among other things. Geez! We were just trying to figure out how to solve the problem so that we will have a new car and he would sell a new car. I read some reviews online about the dealership--most feedback were terrible. Now I know. Be aware of them.

I suggest Maita Chevy. The internet salesperson is a really good guy. I can give you his name. I think they are the best dealer in town. Mike Daugherty seems good too. Also, Micheal Stead Chevy in winters is good. They have some low prices. Good Luck.

Thanks, Mazda6dude! I will figure out the GM card issue when their office opens on Monday before I see a dealer. I visited the Davis dealer and they seemed to be nice but they didn't have the color my wife wanted. Thanks a lot!
