Used 2000 Chevrolet Malibu for Sale

It was my mothers when I was growing up. She passed it onto me. And I have owned it for the last 3 years. The interior has really held up well! It has been a very reliable car. And I am going to continue with my next car being a Chevrolet.

I like the gas mileage as it gets about 30 miles to the gallon, and it is not as expensive to fill as bigger cars since it has a smaller tank. This car is very durable and has survived hitting a deer. Before we purchased it, the car had some sort of damage done to it and was submitted to a body shop where they repaired it and sold it to us after the owner signed it over to the body shop owner. One of the cons is that if you are a back yard mechanic you still have to take the car in for checking and adding transmission fluid unless you know where to look and how to do it - there is no normal dipstick on top of the engine like other cars. The size of the car is not bad but it really is not meant for large loads or car loads of heavy people - it is hard on the struts. The interior is nice and very comfortable while making driving much more efficient on the body. There is also a known defect in some of the cars that involve ignition switches and keys that require them to be taken to dealerships and have the ignition replaced as the faulty parts allow for the ignition to shut off while driving causing accidents. But this issue is corrected for free with the recall notice sent to owners. It's a pretty durable vehicle, and puts up with lots of miles and use. Easy to work on for tune ups and minor repairs. Easy to find replacement tires for, but hard to find head and tail lamps and they can be pretty expensive if you do find them. The car has a strong structure of metal and plastic. I would not trade our car for a million dollars - I love it, faults and all.

The 2000 Malibu was a great idea, roomy, great pickup, lots of power, and great features package for its time. Unfortunately, it was constructed with shoddy parts and was released with the "Dexcool" coolant that completely destroyed the cooling system and forced major recalls and thousands of dollars worth of repairs. What could have been a great car was destroyed by a bad decision (the coolant) and what was probably a series of corner-cutting to keep costs down at the factory.
