The Freestyle is now the TaurusX, the wagon version. You are right the 500(sedan) is now the Taurus. Ford thought they were making it easier to recognize the names.

Should I buy? by deckdog

Hi All,
A local dealer has an 08 Malibu LT2 on his used lot with sunroof, BS moldings, and mat pkg. There is 14 miles on the car with factory window sticker still on it. List is $24,570. Sale price $21,997. When I questioned him he said the car came from out of state and had $1150 in hail damage which has been repaired. You can't tell it ever happened. Also saw the repair order for the damage. He said they had to sell it as used because of that. I figured invoice at $23,366. Does this sound like a decent deal or colud I do better? Will be trading in my 05 Malibu LS on it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Given you will get an almost full warranty, it seems like a great deal to me. Hail damage would only be superficial, should have no impact on how the car runs.

I'm not sure the deal is that great. There would be a factory allowance on leftover '08s that would take that price down anyway.

I would guess that when Gm had the employee pricing that would have sold new for about $22,500. For a $500 saving I would pass on it, but for another $1000 off I would be interested.
 
I would check with the dealer about the warranty on the paint. I think the hail damage and repaint will void the paint\corrosion warranty.

Carfax is clean. The car came from a dealer in Louisville, Kentucky.

Annoying Shrieking Brakes by bwia

With only 7,900 miles on our 08 LS we are beginning to experience an annoying shrieking noise from the front wheels. This happens when driving off first thing in the morning and the noise goes away soon after drive off. What could be causing this problem, could it be a warped rotor, faulty brake pads or an inherent Malibu problem?
 
Would like to know if others are having this problem and if there is a secret GM recall on this?
