How much does a Chevy Malibu go for?
The Chevy Malibu is no longer sold new in the United States; you’ll be shopping in the used-car market. In general, expect a wide price spread—from several thousand dollars for older, high-mileage examples to the low-to-mid 30s for relatively recent, low-mileage cars—depending on year, trim and condition.
New vs Used: What to expect
Since GM discontinued the Malibu in the U.S., there are no new cars to buy from dealers. This section summarizes the last-model-year MSRPs by trim to give a sense of the price ladder that existed when the Malibu was in production.
- L trim: roughly $23,000–$24,500
- LS trim: roughly $24,500–$27,000
- LT trim: roughly $28,000–$30,000
- Premier trim: roughly $34,000–$37,000
Actual prices today are in the used market and will vary by options, dealer incentives, regional demand, and vehicle history. This list reflects typical MSRPs from the final years of Malibu production in the U.S.
Used Malibu Price Trends (2024–2025)

In short, used Malibu pricing varies widely by year, mileage, trim and condition, and can be influenced by regional supply. Check multiple listings and vehicle histories to establish a fair price.
How to price-check the Malibu today
To get an accurate current price, use trusted sources and input the exact year, trim, mileage and condition. Start with Kelley Blue Book (KBB), Edmunds, CarGurus and Autotrader, then compare local dealer inventories to understand regional pricing and incentives. Consider a pre-purchase inspection for older vehicles.
Tips: be specific about trim and options, weigh certified pre-owned programs for warranty, and factor in taxes, registration and financing costs when budgeting.
Summary
The Chevrolet Malibu is no longer available as a new car in the U.S., so today’s price references are all about used examples. Historical MSRPs for the final model year ranged roughly from the low- to mid-$20k range for base trims up to the mid-$30k range for top trims. In the used market, prices span from a few thousand dollars for older models to the high-$20k and even low-$30k territory for relatively new and low-mileage cars. Prospective buyers should verify vehicle history, compare multiple sources and set a price target based on year, mileage and trim.
