Re: Advice on buying a 2001 Malibu
My girl friend bought a new one in 97. As a retired mech who HAS NO BRAND LOYALITY unlike some here. DO NOT GET NEAR IT thank god she bought the extended warrenty, I never recommend these but in this case it was worth while. Where to start, 20000 kms need new rotors, has gone through hub bearings, lower control arm bushings, of course manifold gaskets. Org tires went 40000km real crap.Air con switches, fan resistors...I can change that one in the dark. Radio ant wire sepperation, headlights full of water, front rack, rust holes ,constant brake pads, there old units off a holden from oz, way undersized. poor handling huge noise from rear suspension, air temp sensors.....welllll just on and on and on. At 140,000kms this car is ready for the scrap yard.
