2006 malibu Maxx Problem

Re: 2006 malibu Maxx Problem [glennb] (Fixed!) [glennb] [burnt_3]

Written by: glennb on Jul 04, 2008 07:02 AM

I would say my trans problem was less of a out and out fluctuation, and more like the trans was slipping into neutral when I let off the gas, and then the engine would rev as I tried to re-accelerate. It would then eventually drop back into gear, which was very noticeable. Does your +,- toggle work on your shifter? Or is it malfunctioning like mine was? That seems to ... Read More...

I had the dealer do the trans service at 50k. My first thought when this problem cropped up was that the dealer didn't put enough tranny fluid back in. I'll never know. I complained to my service advisor and mentioned another call to Chevy (that's what it took to get my steering fixed) and he said I should get the shifter fixed first, which currently will not cycle ...

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), ...

A Chevy dealer in Lanham, MD has __7__ 2006 Malibu Maxx LTs and 2 2006 Malibu Maxx SSs, plus 1 2007 LT. The '06 LTs have listed invoices btw $20,600 and $23,358. I offered the internet guy $16,999 for one of the $23,358 LTs, and he got back to me saying that they'd sell it to me for $16,998.40 (after incentives I later found out) if I take delivery today. I told them I wanted ... Read More...

Re: Deal or No deal? 2006 Malibu LT sedan [ymchn]

Written by: csandste on Jan 21, 2007 04:19 PM

In 05 I got six grand off an 05 Maxx. Of course the 06's weren't marked up that much. 1. I think GM just put some more discounts and dealer money in to clear out 06's. 2. I know the LA auto show is already over. Any other auto show discounts on horizon? 3. If they're selling a Maxx for under $15 you should be able to do better with a 4 door sedan. There's still a quirk factor ... Read More...

E2 question

Hey E2, I know this is a Malibu forum and I have a 2006 Maxx LTZ, but I was wondering if you could get any info on other GM cars. I'm looking to buy a used 2006 Cobalt LS 2dr 5SP manual from my local Chevy dealer for my Son. Could you tell me the build date and if it was built with any options in it. VIN 1G1AK15FX67747860. Thanks. Read More...

Malibu Maxx SS

Written by: kingr on Jun 18, 2006 05:09 PM

I'm starting to look at the Maxx SS, It's been a long time since I bought a Chevy. Can anyone tell me what a good price would be for a 2006 Maxx SS now. I'm looking at the base SS no options, Edmunds shows the invoice price to be 22,758 w/dest. Can I expect to get it for much less than invoice. Thanks Read More...
