I viewed this car but didn’t test drive it or start it up. I viewed the inside and the interior wasn’t clean and the body outside had damages.To be fair, I would say it’s what you would expect for an As Is vehicle but from the pictures listed it looks way worse on site. I saw other vehicles I was more interested in at this dealership.The salesman was very friendly and has continued to reach out to me and I am appreciative.Jul 04, 2024

It sucks! bought used 7 months ago. Outside temperature dropped to 40 degrees and possible ice crawls across the dashboard, service ESC is announced and then power steering fails. HAD new EPS unit replaced under dash. Same thing happened 2 more times the day after getting back for same problem. GM put out a demon car from HELL in the Malibu no matter what model year! They are safety hazard and should all be taken off the road permanently. They have numerous recalls and GM will never admit it is THIS PARTICULAR car! Will never EVER buy anything Chevy again.Nov 08, 2022
