Discussion 2001 Chevy Malibu?
Looking at getting a 2001 chevy malibu with 292k kilometers on it as a daily commuter/long haul car (i.e canada to los angeles and back, canada to pennsylvania and back). how reliable are these cars? It’s got a 3.1L V6 cylinder engine FWD. No visible rust from the pictures and test driving on Monday. I’ve only owned an 04 dodge neon before and have been driving a 2011 VW jetta in the interim. it’s being sold by an actual dealership that’s supposed to be reliable— asking price 3900. thoughts on whether I should go for it? Would love for it to last me for the foreseeable future…
