How much is a used Chevy Malibu?

My friend wants to sell me his used Chevy Malibu, but he refuses to give me a price. Instead, he wants me to shoot him an offer. I have no idea where to begin. How much does a used Chevy Malibu go for?

Naming your price without insulting the seller isn’t always easy and you don’t want to lowball your friend. But determining a fair price to pay for any used car is entirely on the shoulders of the buyer. On average, a used
Chevy Malibu
is worth $22,590, so that should give you a good starting point.
However, several factors comprise the value of a used car that can alter the value:
  • Model year
  • Trim level
  • Mechanical condition
  • Cosmetic condition
  • Options and additional equipment
So while $22,590 might be fair for a 2018 model, it’s not the same for a 2009 model. To determine a fair value, use an online vehicle valuation tool. Some of the most reputable are:
  • TrueCar
  • AutoTrader
  • Edmunds
  • National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)
If you find that your friend’s Chevy Malibu is within your budget, remember that you also need to factor in the monthly or semi-annual price of
car insurance
