Beautiful car. I have the same in gray. 215k miles.

[@IronMikeSharpe-st2mn]

Inheritied one of these from an elderly driver, 2012. Has 56K on it and I always drive my cars until they fall apart. Did you drive it relatively easy to get to 215K?

[@bobbymoore2220]

Glad yours is in good condition. The POS my girlfriend bought for $4,000 has cost us $5,000 in repairs so far. 3 fuel pumps, new starter, and a new junction box. Chevrolet refuses to do a recall on the fuel pump and connector or junction box even though it's a consistent problem on this model!😤 The fact the transmission is a closed circuit and you can't check the fluid levels is just crazy!!!!

[@askme5855]

Thanks for all the details, I plan on buying one!

[@jacobhillanbrand7988]

have a 2010 with 184000; headlight changing is a pain-replaced the socket; replaced wiper transmission; repaired exhaust; and ball joints replaced....ecotec 4cylinder still humming......had to touch up clear coat on one side......overall dependable....

I have a Chevrolet Malibu 1lt. Same year except mine is more of a tan with 81,000 miles

[@DonLaPierre-ho8ng]

2.4 all have timing chain stretch issues @ 100000 miles I would change it for that is an interference engine

[@calvin4319]

Wym the 3.6 is one of the most reliable engines gm makes they used it in so many cars

[@KingARob_]

lol

[@christianthomas8100]

Wxactly what i was thinking also the 3.8

[@crazythingis]

@@chrissprings23 no the 3.6 is really bad. He also said that the older 3800 v6(3.8) was really good. If you search on KZbin there are always issues with the 3.6.

[@aidenshutup2233]

@@crazythingis what about the 2.4

[@crazythingis]

@@aidenshutup2233 I’m not an expert but just try to search it up on KZbin and you’ll see all the common problems and what to expect. I have heard that the timing chain guides and tensioners can go bad on I think both the 2.4 and 3.6. I even have a 2.4 as well (100k miles)and I don’t really have any engine problems but mine does have a few electrical gremlins like not starting once every few weeks sometimes even few days (I just takeoff the battery terminal and put it back on and it starts after that. I still haven’t found the issue though).
