I Bought Another AT&T Malibu At Copart For $400

[@specialtymotorcars]

Does this one have the hole in the quarter panel like the Mercury Mistress does?

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Two holes for more fun!

I see a Big AL video. And as a simple man I stop what I’m doing and watch.

You've been knocking the content out of the park. Cool you're still running across those.

[@45AMT]

Talking about bringing back memories of old videos! The good old AT&T Malibu's! At first I thought this was one that was an AT&T car sold then re-auctioned I didn't know they tinted the windows. But that risk mgt book proves it is. Pretty cool. Has to be one of the last ones left. With todays car prices still hard to beat a $400 car! Especially one of these gems!

[@willvandeusen7130]

As soon as I see “AT&T Malibu “ I know it’s gonna be a good one 👌🏻

[@amacd08]

I can't believe they still use these cars!

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

I haven’t seen one on the road with AT&T livery in years. I see them using Fusion Hybrids and newer Malibus lately.

[@brittballard4030]

Love the channel just bought a 97 buick century with 325000 miles runs like a dream

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

5 days later I finally get to watch this!!

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

No worries my man I know you’re up to your eyeballs busy!

[@Stressless2023]

Interesting that you mentioned the 3100's may have updated (less problematic) intake manifold gaskets in later models like this because my grandmother had a 97 Malibu LS with the 3100 that she bought brand new and the intake gaskets failed in 2009 at around 75,000 miles and killed the motor, I had to yank it out and put a junkyard 3100 in it with double the miles. She decided not to keep it long and bought a 2010 Chevy Cobalt that she still drives, that damn thing still has the original brake pads on it with about 81-82k miles and has never needed a single repair ever, just tires once. But that 3100 in her Malibu really pissed me off for her, glad that maybe GM didn't let that defect linger like they did with the Northstars.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

I don’t know for certain if they did update the intake gaskets on the later 3100 but from my experience I see and have experienced way less failure with them than the earlier ones.

[@markbehr88]

Good stuff Big Al. Do you ever buy the dust buster TransSports? I have a 94 and love it.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

I love them if a deal comes along I’d buy it

[@williamhorsley7799]

That's a good deal man glad your safe after the hurricanes brotha

[@michaelkelly9686]

I was wondering why your Malibu was missing the alloys and rear spolier in a previous video! Can't wait to see part 2. Speaking of which Al, do you still plan to upload a part 2 on the Cimarron?

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

I haven’t done anything more to the Cimarron besides drive it. Waiting until I have a garage for it before I replace the doors/paint/etc. I also had a huge tree branch fall on it and dent the roof 😔

[@michaelkelly9686]

@@bigalsbikeandauto That sucks about the branch hitting it, but good to hear it's not stopping you from enjoying it in the meantime.

[@yefenofphoto]

You need to have the Oldsmobile Cutlass version of this for your collection

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Absolutely! If a nice one comes along for the right price. Or I’ve thought about swapping all the Olds bits over to my AT&T ‘bu.

[@yefenofphoto]

@@bigalsbikeandauto There is a 1998 Cutlass green with 241K miles in Roanoke Virginia at Iaa and a nice one with 60k in South Bend

[@Stressless2023]

@@yefenofphoto I was just thinking about those lol definitely rare birds these days. It's crazy that GM spent the money to design different but nearly identical dashboards for them compared to the Malibu, but always thought the Cutlass dash and fake woodgrain looked alot cleaner.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

For sure I haven’t forgotten. Just haven’t been in person to Copart in the past few weeks as everything I’ve bought has been at locations too far to go preview.

[@colinhutchinson1664]

Nothing a trip to the Junk yard for parts and a good valeting won't cure. It's really interesting because it's around 2000 - 2005 that American cars are starting to take on more of a Euro/Japanese influenced styling rather than the distinct US styling of earlier years.

[@glenbo2464]

Yep , my intake on my cutlass failed at 124,000 miles. Started leaking below the power steering pump. I put some K seal sealer in it and so far so good. I dont drive it anymore so it just sits now but i plan to have the gaskets done in the spring because it runs great still and has been super reliable for me .

[@scottgray9674]

[@dionrau5580]

Hey Al, do spray for skeeters on your place? They're pretty thick round here at that time of the day. Man I never would've looked at a car like that But for a cheap transportation you can't beat that. Wish I could find another Astro van for a good deal, miss my old one.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

I don’t know what my blood type is but they rarely bite me. Other visitors to my property get mauled by mosquitos pretty quick!

[@Montera15]

Had a 96 Monte Carlo that had an intake problem in the mid-late 120k range.... Also had one go on a 2001 Malibu LS but no clue oin the mileage.... somewhere between 100-110k. Both had 3100s, and noticed the newer one in the malibu compaired to the Monte Carlo and the 94 Cutlass Supereme SL we had before produced 5 HP less than the 2001 did. The engine bay design was a lot better and easier to work on in the newer one as well.

[@cameronlovesevolve]

holy shit i had to look twice to see that this is a new upload lol .. we love to see another AT&T Malibu - its been too long haha

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Hahahaha

[@brianandrews7099]

My job (not phone related) back in the mid ‘00s used some of these Malibus. I agree, they are not exciting and I also never paid an attention to them when they first came out in the 1990s. They are very roomy and reasonably comfortable (great headroom!) and reliable. I have to admit, I prefer the Olds Cutlass version of this car and a clean one would be a great score!

[@42luke93]

At&t making a mistake. The new ones are terrible.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Only time will tell!

[@Toby_the_Glen]

Just out of interest, did those AT&T cars get serviced in AT&T own workshops, or did they get main dealer servicing?

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

From what I’ve heard they serviced them in house

[@rafaelfiallo4123]

Was the one with the Ecotec still a Malibu or was it a Classic by then?

[@DiscGolfDom23]

So if they're getting rid of their Malibus again, what are they replacing them with?

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

I’ve seen them driving newer Malibus and Fusion hybrids. Although they don’t make either of those anymore, so now I’m not sure.

Man that is a great deal on a cheap car! I really wish I could find a cheap car like that since my 2004 Z71 Tahoe decided to start making knock knock jokes out of the blue and I have never been a huge fan of Chevy's and their knock knock jokes. Even worse is LS engines are so popular that they have skyrocketed in price and not going to drop $5K into a $3K truck but a cheap car like that would be perfect to drive around in but would be better if it had the 2.2 litre motor since those are good engines..I know I had an S10 with that motor and nothing would kill it except when I rolled it lol anyways good video man and good to see you uploading again!

[@ryzen397]

Why would an AT&T car have tinted windows?

I’ve seen a few with them. I assume the folks that drove these probably drove the same car for years and a $100 investment in tint can make your life a lot better during summer here in SFL.
