1999 Chevrolet Malibu LS Start Up, Engine, In Depth Tour, and Brief Drive 

That's real good!! That's what I gotta do with mine, is take good care of it, even with over 300k miles on it

ChevyboyCaprice_6947 these cars can have even more mileage than that and still run fine it’s always down to maintenance it doesn’t matter how old the car is or how notoriously unreliable it is you have to be willing to put money into fixing the car and maintaining it and tending to any common problems it may have otherwise you’re giving people nowadays the impression that old cars are all garbage and unreliable trash

@@silasmcgee3647 thank you so much! I always thought even with proper maintenance, a car can give out. But you're absolutely right, cause I do remember an old friend having a car with over 700k miles. But it was all the maintenance done to it. Thanks again, now I'm really gonna keep my Malibu forever!

@@ChevyboyCaprice_ great! Just keep taking care of her not many of this generation left in the world

Mines hitting 267k miles. Only thing currently wrong is sunroof doesn't work/failed seal rear driver side window bar fell, ac and cooling fans doesn't work. Other then that everything else works great. Also the lights that are on on dash are check engine light, brake light and abs. I know why don't now why brake like is on and abs. I replaced everything on front end besides axles and spring/strut assembly.

Maybe the previous owner was nickled and dimed to death with repair costs and just said screw it.

+toyoscio Or maybe they just didn take care of it.... Some people think all they have to do is put gas in it and don't care about the responsibility of maintaining a car and they be the first one saying it's a POS when something fails...

ROFL, especially heading to the junkyard.

Hahaha It is funny, isn't it? Lol.

Chevymalibuls Lol, Yes.

My dad had a 1998 Malibu and he says it was the most comfortable car he ever had

Bulk of these have probably been junked

I hope they weren't scrapped. That would be horrible haha. I see 2 Malibu's at my local junkyard. Checked the dipstick and both of them were milky. They were junked because most likely the plastic intake gasket failed. They should of never put plastic into an engine. But, that's just one flaw with these cars. Just like any car has its flaws.

Yes sir. I really like the Malibu's. I don't believe that they get enough credit. People think they are just crappy cars, that's obviously because they are not maintained. I'm not saying that there weren't a few lemons out there, but the majority of people hate them because the didn't take care of them, and they broke down. They have great power, but as long as you dont beat on them, they will last. There are plenty of videos of the Malibu's going over 200,000 miles (350,000 km I think). Mine tripped 220,000 miles 2 days ago. There are a bunch of Malibu owners that live near me that have over 200,000 miles. With great maintenance of course. I hope all goes well with your sisters purchase. Just make your you check all the fluids and listen for noises. Hopefully it'll be a great car!

Le Mans Yet

Chevymalibuls yeah my intake gasket fried my entire engine so I bought a engine from a grand am gt (the 3100s [the v6 in the Malibu] is compatible with the 3400s from grand am gt's)

+alejandro Valdez Crap,ain't it

Yeah... Looks like somebody might have used it as a handle to pull themselves out of the car. Obviously somebody was rough on this car all the way around. I use mine everyday and it still hasn't broke.

JavaBasher lmao

Lmfao

Yes, sounds like a bad supercharger sound.

BigjohnSVT I personally like the whine I think it sounds cool and I would certainly drive a car in that condition but obviously that sound is something bad that will definitely get worse if not repaired soon but given the age of this video that car is most likely in a junkyard by now

Haha i saw that to. Couple bowl packs.

me too aww dang

often means the DRL lights are burnt out etc.

Bukkageisha you fr ?

And in 2000 they dropped the option for a 4 cyl and the v6 made 170 hp I think.

boowah5 lmaoo you always see people like that in these early 2000's American cars

boowah5 nah nah nah This is the typical american dildo car 🚗 of the year.

😂😂😂😂😂

It's funny because its true. I also own one but I am a guy and I'm a broke detailer

That would be a Prius
