True, same thing happening at mine, where the Malibu was one of the "quick" cars that was out in a few days after hitting the lot. Bizarrely, the last ones they moved were during Employee pricing and then today mine even though it's a no money sale as a lemon replacement.
 
Not that people don't want them, but the screwy economy and now lack of GMAC anything, etc. doesn't help. Have to offer either a big discount or awesome financing to get anyone even looking, really, anymore it seems.

Hit and run ~~ $1,100 damage by bwia

Bummer
My wife went into Walgreens for ten minutes when she returned there was a huge scratch and white paint marks around the rear passenger door. It would appear that a pick-up truck was the culprit. Funny thing is that the parking lot was empty yet that brute violated her car.
 
No eye witness means bad news as the insurance company will not pay the deductible and the $1,100 damage estimate is not sufficient to bring the car back to its original condition. The 2008 Malibu has only 7,900 miles and it was in showroom condition as I had just washed and waxed it.
Any tips for dealing with the insurance?

Check to see if Walgreens has an outside security camera for the parking lot. If so, they should have a video tape of the incident

Ouch, that stinks.
 
Try asking your questions over in Questions About Auto Insurance & Accidents.

We did ask them but unfortunately this particular Walgreens does have a security camera.

Luckily up here, GMAC credit is still loaning 0% to 2.5% up to 60 months on most cars and trucks. They used to do 72 but that was cut out, I got 0% for 72 just days before it was canned.
 
Still no big credit crunch here.. yet.

if you are talking about canada . the deal is over there too. there is another malibu forum and there is a post of a canadian being told that the 0.9% they promised was cut off and they had to take 6.7% instead but gm did lower the price of the car to compensate. so i am afraid the cheap interest is over in canada also

How in the world could a pick-up do damage in an empty parking lot. I could see if it was crowded and he was maneuvering it into a tight spot. I am guessing it may have been an inexperienced driver playing around.
 
As far as the Malibu not moving it looks like nothing is. When I was shopping dealers had no Civics or Corollas. Now I see dozens on the lot. I wonder what kind of deals you can get now?
 
So far 2 months and 3k miles and my Malibu has been excellent. My only complaints are that the radio controls on the steering wheel should have been on the left side. I use the radio controls much more than cruise control and the dic. If you have a cup of coffee in your right the radio controls are awkward to use.
 
The other is now that the colder weather is here I wish I could get the heated seat to stay on all the time. With running kids around I am in and out of the car alot and every time I restart it I have to hit the heat button again.
 
I know life is so tough when these are my only complaints, warm buns and having to move my thumb 12 inches to the right.

Hello. We live in Palmyra, Indiana.
We have purchased a 2009 Malibu LT. We have had it for about two months now. We love the ride and the car's features. People often comment on what a sharp four door car the Malibu is. Our twin boys are fourteen years old and five foot seven inches tall. They too love the Malibu, but would have liked just a little bit more leg room in the back. One reason we purchased the Malibu was due to the high safety rankings and high performance reports. Our boys will begin learning to drive in December and we feel good about them driving the Malibu.
