I have never posted on a site like this but when I was reading some of these post I just had to sign up and reply. I bought my 2008 Malibu LT in late Feb of this year and now have about 7200 miles on it. I tried all the top sedans out, including the 2008 Honda Accord. I did all my research and had always been a fan of the foreign cars. My past cars include the Subaru Forrester & Outback, Toyota Corolla and 3 Hondas. I was sure the 2008 Accord was going to be my next car until I got behind the wheel of my Malibu. This car rides like a dream, air tight, no road or engine noise, great sound system, very roomy inside and looks very classy. I get on the average of 22-24 city and have gotten 32 on the hwy. Combined I usually average about 26 mpg. It is a 4cyl and has great pick up and passing speed. I had it over 100mph on the turnpike and it was still just cruising like I was floating on a cloud.
While I have always been a Honda fan, I did not like the new Accord. It is really over-rated but it gets good reviews because it is a Honda. If anyone is looking for a great ride, classy looks and good mileage, check out the new Malibu. Plus it comes with OnStar for a year, which has a phone, XM satelite for 3 months, an IPOD jack, nice comfy seats.

bandit08 , welcome to the message board and congratulations on the purchase of your new 2008 Malibu LTZ. You are probably grinning from ear to ear with delight from driving this surprisingly exceptional sedan from GM.
 
We too were skeptical at first to even consider buying a Chevy but once my wife saw it she was immediately blown over by the exterior styling. The test drive confirmed her initial impression and we have been satisfied since even with the replacement of a defective AC compressor.
 
Enjoy your ride. BTW, how did you pay for your LTZ?

Oops! sorry, didn't mean to be so intrusive. I meant how much did you pay? Was the amount substantially below invoice or are dealers still getting full MSRP these days?

Most are selling around invoice to a few hundred over, which is typical.

Yep, I got my LS at invoice . Though GM was offering $1000 for owners of GM cars 1999 and up, My Sunfire was 1996 ..so I lost out on that ...Oh well

I got the LT1 for about 21,500. It has the remote starter system, which I love. I would have liked to have gotten a better deal but they were not coming off much. I got several quotes and they all fell in really close in range with each other.

MSRP and invoice are much tighter than they ever used to be, so margins are smaller in the first place, and then with no rebates (as of now), there's also not that to take off. So, discounts are small...but the MSRP's are low enough in the first place, that's why.
 
You got a great car for a GREAT price! Our early 2LT stickered at $23,770 with sunroof, molding, and mats (pre price increases), and we paid right at $23k. I'm now car shopping personally again, and am very tempted by a similar "basic" 1LT with little or nothing just over the $21k mark...a standout car not just in looks but in quality and content for the dough.
