I haven't exactly been active in this forum, but I bought my car around the same time as pao, and in the same area. We've had very different experiences--his a lot better than mine, and he's driven the heck out of it! Alas, our Maxx is no longer. While, the car is still around, perhaps at a CarMax near you any day now, but we no longer own it. It was a 2004 Maxx LS 1SB. It had ... Read More...

Re: Used 2004 Malibu MAXX - is it a good buy or should I wait [heidrun]

Written by: legalsec on Jul 15, 2007 10:12 AM

Hi, I just bought a 2006 Malibu Maxx fully loaded with options and 30,840 miles for $13,900 (under the Edmunds TMV for my area). We've been driving it for 2 weeks and had no problems. Took a roadtrip (about 300 miles total) last weekend and loved it. I think that Maxxs are a good buy even if resale value later is not great (no American cars have great resale values), ...
