I bought this car in early 2025 with 58,000 orig miles. A 6 cyl automatic. Still runs good, plenty of power, ac is still cold. Not a fancy car, but is dependable. Comfortable seats .

Solid

Not much special, but it's a solid car. Bought at 39k, put 14k on it since then and hasn't given me any issues. My grandfather owned an 2007 in the same color so when I saw it, I had to have it. Definitely would recommend, not a speed demon but solid for commuting and/or long distance travel with its 26mpg.

Better than a rental

I bought my Malibu used it was a rental car with 29,000 miles on it. I drove it back & forth to work,really fun basic sedan, was a joy to drive, the only reason I sold it was it had a lot of miles on it

Very reliable. Ice cold A/C. Title ready!

I have a beautiful 2006 Chevrolet Malibu LT V6 for sale. This car rides absolutely excellent, has ice cold AC, very nice interior, nice tread on the tires, and is ready to roll today. Give me a call this vehicle is title ready. I would love to show you this Immaculate vehicle. Test drives are available for scheduling!

Very good car. Got it used with 68k miles.

Needed a used car and got this one. Very happy. No real problems. Two minor issues. Truck lock will not turn. Overfill gas tank and gas gauge ends up going to empty. Great A/C , good running car. Good gas mileage.

2006 Chevy Malibu goes anywhere. Drove car yearly

This car looked great when I walked up to it. Interior was classy, had extra storage. Vehicle lacked leg room, it worked for me as a 5 foot driver but was not good for my husband who is over 6 foot. I drove it through snow storms and never got stuck on the road or a parking lot
