Bought this car new in 2012.
Bought this car new in 2012. Just quit driving it with 373400 miles. Only replaced the water pump. Transmission was never touched, fuel pump, alternator, heat, ac still work and original. Maybe I was extremely lucky but this car was awesome.

Great place to buy a vehicle.
Great place to buy a vehicle. Stan went above and beyond for us. Would highly recommend it was definitely worth the 177 mile drive.
Good car for the money
I have had this car for 9 years now. It only broke down once (my fault). Other than that. It works for what I need it to. A bit slow but that’s what you get for the price. Very reliable, recommended for teens who drive cautiously.

Very helpful and very honest. Was not pushy like most car dealers. Wanted to make sure that we were happy and confident in that car. Worked with us on all aspects. Love this dealership and will definitely be back!!! Thanks again!
2012 malibu ls 2.4
The seats aren't very comfortable at all they sit to low and hardly no padding . Dash board is ok . Hard to move around in side the couch. Blind spot h The rear headrest are in the way .for looking in the mirror.out back and quarter panel make looking when backing up impossible..stiff ride.car gets good mileage. The car doesn't need a 6 speed transmission.

Totally Satified 👍🏾
My spouse and I received outstanding service from Albany 5 Star Hyundai. Miss Marian Harris, Sales Associate, was so courteous and professional. She was an absolute delight to work with. She was very knowledgeable about my newly purchased Hyundai Elantra. Charles Longs, the Manager, was awesome and worked out a price that we were comfortable with. We are very pleased and totally satisfied!
