There aren’t any incentives being offered for the Malibus at the moment. If you’d like to research other Malibu deals, feel free to look through www.AutoBrag.com. Below is an explanation of the data above and how to utilize these deals from out of state in your local Chevy dealership.

What are all these blue links for? The first blue link breaks down the numbers so that you don’t have to do any math or researching. You’ll see exactly how much money you’re saving if you pay the “Internet Price”. It also lists the National Average Discount, the National Maximum Discount and the National Average Price for each vehicle. We also provide our personal opinion to whether we think the deal is good or not.

If we approve the deal, we’ll show a thumbs up and “Bring Your Checkbook“.

If we think the deal is ok, we’ll show a thumb tilted sideways and “Fair Market“.

If we disapprove the deal, we’ll show a thumbs down and “Keep Shopping“.

The second blue link is the proof you’ll need when you step foot onto the dealership. Don’t leave home without it! It’s the page that shows the price which you’ll be asking for. It’s basically what you need to pull up on their computers if they don’t believe you found that price online form that dealer’s inventory.

How do I use these deals from out of state in my hometown? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up dealership’s website and checking their inventory. It may take a few tries before a dealership agrees to honor the deal.

The effort is certainly worth it. Saving an extra thousand(s) really pays off at a time like this. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free personal service. Goodluck and keep us posted!

Question From Charlene: I’m looking to trade in my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited for an 08 Chevy Equinox. The one I’m looking at is the Sport and and has all the bells and whistles. It has 7,000 mi. They want $20,000 and I owe 6000 on the Jeep. Is there enough markup on the Equinox for me to ask them to pay off the Jeep? I think it’s at least worth asking… Thanks!

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Charlene. Welcome to our blog!

For a 2008 Chevrolet Equinox V6 Sport with 7,000 miles, prices range from $19,000 (being in above average condition) to $18,100 (being in average condition) and $17,400 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $19,500 to $21,600.

The asking price for the 2008 Chevrolet Equinox is good. Just make sure to check the carfax report to make sure that nothing is wrong with the car.

To give you the wholesale price for your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited we will need to know if it is a V6 or V8 engine and if it is 2WD or 4WD. Let us know that information and we will help you get a fair trade in value for your SUV. Good Luck and let us know if you have any other question.

Question: Hi. I’m looking to buy a new or used car. A Chevy Tahoe is currently on my short list.

Year: 2008
Make: Chevrolet
Model: LT 4WD
Trim: LTZ Package, Sun Entertainment & Destinations Package

Buying or Selling: Buying
Private Party or Dealership: Dealership

A local dealership gave me quote of $41,999 plus tax, tags, and license fees. This is after Chevy’s current $6,000 rebate.

I’m also looking for a similar used Tahoe (2007 or 2008) with less than 20k miles. The same dealership has a 2007 LTZ with ~9,000 miles with a sticker price of $39,000.

Thanks in advance for any help!
