Rent it for a week first

Rent the Malibu first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Malibu answers the big questions.

Year and trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
