Might be getting a new ride soon
 

Hey, all....just wanted to let everyone know I may be getting a new ride soon, since I'm not wanting to soak more money into my Cavalier. I'm looking at an '03 Malibu with the 3.1/OD trans, and, 93K miles. I drove it the other day, and, it drives tight, A/C is ice cold, and, runs great. I's also a one-owner car, too... Here's the posting from my dealership's website:

2003 Chevrolet Malibu for sale in Vermilion - 1G1ND52J63M662555 - Pat OBrien Chevrolet Vermilion

STAY AWAY FAR FAR AWAY. it will give you hell in about 30k miles nbodys just go down hill after 120k, take it from someone that has owned one

Well, this one's been well taken care of, and, it's a 1-owner, as well... I checked the Carfax, and, it's been well-maintained. Besides, I work at the dealership where the car's at, so, if anything goes wrong, I'm covered. And, the usual thing about N-bodies up here, is, that the area around the gas door is usually rusted away, and, this one's clean in that area.

im just speaking from experiance mine was a one owner in my family since new and the gaoc guys refer to the nbodies as a 120k curse


just saying though good luck. It does look well cared for. being a 03 it has the limg fix so thats a plus

n bodies suck, vss issues, window motor, squirl fan, etc... ive had the displeasure of working on a bunch seems like all my family had them. i used to joke you had to go through the trunk to change a thermostat. that being said i would buy that before any 4cyl GM.

depends on what kind of driving you do but i always have gotten a 3100 or 3400(not dohc) w-body. they get like 30 local and 33-35mpg all hwy. there a ton easier to work on and have more room.
