Our 2006 Maxx has 195K miles on it with original engine, trans, radiator, A/C parts all still working fine. Changed tranny and cooling system fluids at 80K and 160K. Following same schedule on our 2007 Maxx.

I got a 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx LT V6 with 181 miles on it. Still runs solid and strong with original motor and trans. A/c is mint cold and didn't have any major repairs or work done. Just regular oil changes and maintenance will last a long time. Really well reliable and always starts in first click.

You guys think it smart to buy a 2009 Chevy Malibu for 900$ with 220 miles on it ?

We had a 2006 LT with 240K miles on it that seemed on its way to 300K and still had its original radiator, transmission, engine, alternator, etc., etc.,. Unfortunately, my daughter rear-ended a Tacoma pickup with tow hitch on it, taking-out the radiator cross member. Insurance wouldn't fix it. Car totaled. Gave us $4000 for it. I'd check the oil cap, and look down inside with a flashlight, for signs of sludge. If it looks clean, then car was maintained on the oil changes and should be good for quite a few more miles.

I think we’re thinking of the same thing but in my 2018 Malibu will stop running while at a red light in order to save gas as a extra feature

I have a 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx Lt I have 105 thousand miles Great on gas But my converter died on me waiting for new one to come in Very costly at this moment $2100 but has been reliable all these up to now. Can't afford another car but am happy with this one and probably my last car before I will have to quit driving
