For those that were interested

[BlackMetalNinja]

So I bought an '08 Chevy Malibu on Sunday. The old guy that had bought it put 3000 miles on it then realized he had a hell of a time getting in and out of it, so he traded it back in. Thanks for taking care of some of that instant depreciation for me old dude! :up:

I got a pretty good deal on it and the reason it was so appealing to me is it had pretty much every feature I was interested in already. 17" chrome wheels, power everything, XM radio, OnStar, etc... Plus he had the seats redone in leather. I was mostly indifferent on leather, but it's not a bad thing at all of course. Plus since he got it done at a custom shop, they used better material and did a better job than some factory is likely to do.

I also got quite a bit more for my trade in than expected, so I was pleased all the way around.

Now I just need to get the front license plate holder put on so I can get my Bills plate back on there!

cool ride.

Is it the 3.5L V6 under the hood? I know they were putting that in the Malibus for a while.

[hydro]

IMANINJA license plate? Did you photoshop that in? :scratch:

No, it's the 4 cylinder. Part of the reason for getting a new car was better fuel economy. It picks up pretty well though, considering.

:cool:

[tat2dmike77]

i'm not interested just so you know

[BlackMetalNinja]

i'm not interested just so you knowI'm glad you could take the time to point it out :up:

[Skooby]

Cool looking rig, love the tag.

[hammerbillsfan]

congrats BMN! :up:

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Nice ride, congrats BMN. Whats the MPG your getting?

[BlackMetalNinja]

Nice ride, congrats BMN. Whats the MPG your getting?Couldn't tell you yet, I drove it home from the dealership on Saturday and then was gone all weekend. Drove it to and from work today and that's it. I'll know better in a week or two. It's rated at 24-30, so I hope to see close to the 30 mark since most of my drive is highway.

they get enough torque out of them that there's very little difference between a good 4 and a small V6.

[capitolneal]

Those chrome rims are actually plastic covers nice car though

[capitolneal]

I had one for a demo I was getting a whopping 21.6 in mine it was a 4cyl also but they say you get the best gas mileage after 6k miles though

[tat2dmike77]

I'm glad you could take the time to point it out :up:

I just thought you should know in case you were interested :up:

[Stewie]

He drove you home, so how was it??

[EricStratton]

You can tell we are all getting older and the economy is changing when anyone gives a crap about an American made mid-size sedan with good gas mileage.

[Stewie]

He drove you home, so how was it??

we drove in a rental.. I got to check it out a little bit before we left, he didn't leave me the keys tho.. smart guy

[Luisito23]

I didn't realize people still drove Chevys....Also I'm sorry but the inside of that car is horrid, but if you like it I guess that's all that matters?....:meh:

[Night Train]

How are the payments ?

[BlackMetalNinja]

How are the payments ?Eh, not too bad, right in the range I was targeting. I didn't put too much down on it though.

[shelby]

When my mom passed away, i inherited her 2004 Dodge Stratus. Only 2500 miles, and best of all....it was paid for. i love the car...of course, i had been driving an '01 Neon, so it was an upgrade for me.

We sold Terry's 88 Cadillac De Ville to our neighbor.

Nice but does your plate actually say IMANINJA?

[northernbillfan]

No, it's the 4 cylinder. Part of the reason for getting a new car was better fuel economy. It picks up pretty well though, considering.Not reading through all the posts before discussing this but you may regret getting the 4. We have the 6 and are glad we have the extra power. The Mailbu is small enough to get great mileage in so the difference isn't much.

Ours is the '98 (ther first year they put the 6 in her) and it still runs great.


Is yours the one with the hatchback opening? I didn't like that feature in the newer models.

[The King]

TEWINS

For the haters

[Stewie]

Let me guess, he rented a .......... cobalt?

we had a base honnnnndaaaaa accord

which I have to say was very efficient at 100mph .. I do believe our best speed was 112.. and safely the whole way.. made it from raleigh to jacksonville in about 5:45

Also, it's a rarity down here in the south that there is a need for any extra power, so I'm not too worried about it really.

And no, no hatchback, I despise hatchbacks.

:rofl: Too bad it wasn't a Type R... that's 15 extra HP just with that alone... spoiler would have been another +5. We could have went like 125 if that were the case.

Don't feel bad BMN. I still have about 2.5 years left on my payments. It feels like I've had this piece of crap forever.

6 more months for me. :dance2:

[BlackMetalNinja]

I actually had a year left on my car, the payoff just got tacked on with the new one, but since they gave me a lot more on my trade then expected, it didn't hurt me too much.

[RockStar36]

I was down to like 3 or 4 payments on my last car but it was literally falling apart and wasn't worth keeping anyways so I traded it in and started over with 5 years. I just looked and I actually have 27 payments left so I guess it isn't that bad. Well...yes it is.

[Mski]

i have 48 payments left :ill:

but i've been sending extra in everymonth so i should have it paid off in 40:up:

[Night Train]

Wow. I haven't made a car payment since the 1980's.

I give a friend who owns a garage between 5-7 grand, and he buys me low milage used cars at auction. I then drive them into the ground over the next 6-7 years.

I will never make a car payment again.
