Your Price: Ask Us

After its major redesign in 2008, the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu adds minor tweaks to an already impressive package that features a low base-price, impressive fuel economy and copious amounts of amenities.

There are two options under the hood: a 2.4-liter, 169-horsepower flex-fuel four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter, 252-horsepower V-6.  Both are mated to a standard six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift controls.  Fuel economy varies between the two engines with the four-cylinder getting tremendous efficiency.  Expect to receive 17-22 mpg in the city and 26-33 mpg on the highway.  The 2011 Chevy Malibu will need every advantage it can get in a crowded class that includes the Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.

The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu seats five and offers three trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ.  The LS and LT features 17-inch wheels, while the LTZ boasts 18-inch wheels.  A glass sunroof is optional across the board and the V-6 model has dual chrome exhausts.  Steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, Bluetooth connectivity, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, remote engine start, heated front seats, a six-way power driver seat, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are also available.

The premium LTZ adds heated side mirrors with driver-side auto-dimming, LED taillights, automatic climate control, eight-way driver and six-way passenger power seats, leather upholstery, and an eight-speaker stereo system including two subwoofers and a USB audio jack.

Standard safety features include an advanced passenger-sensing airbag system for dual-stage frontal, thorax side-impact, driver and front passenger, head curtain side-impact, and front and rear outboard seating positions. A stability-control system and brake assist with traction control help avoid collisions. Also included is a six-month subscription to OnStar’s Directions and Connections plan, which includes automatic crash response, stolen vehicle assistance, remote door unlock, roadside assistance, turn-by-turn navigation, hands-free calling, and vehicle diagnostics.

With an attractive starting price, exceptional fuel-economy on the four-cylinder and a host of options, the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu is definitely a beam of sunlight in the midsize sedan segment.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

 

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

 

 

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

 

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

 

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

 

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

 

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

 

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?
