1997 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Biggest disappointment EVER!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything-
belts-$50
spark plugs-$60
alignment-$55
tires-$around 300
the engine blew-$4700 (ouch!)
General comments?
This car was my first car and the most expensive investment I've ever made. All and all I paid about $2500
to drive it for about four months. Never buy this car from a used car lot. Whatever they tell you about this car they're lying to try to make some money. I wish someone would have warned me!
