Not going to lie, a full interior and exterior detail video of that car would be SOOOOO satisfying to watch

I got one of these. Its a 2005 malibu maxx ls. 256k miles on it so far. It was my moms before me. Has been a very reliable car all its life.

my 05 impala is going on 300k also, had same issue wouldn't start unless i gave it gas, i changed the fuel filter, now it starts and runs like a champ.

“Got my work britches on, so it’s ok”

Those 3.5 v6 are indestructible.

The title is cleaner than the car.

That interior is NASTY!!! Can’t believe how many miles are on it

I can't believe it made it to over 300k miles.

"Holy cow where did they drive this car??" Lol

2:48 gotta love the syringe and the 10million q-tips. Definatly adds to the decor....

We had an 05 Malibu with the 3.5 v6 for 11 years it was......ok. Definitely a hassle at times. That one you got is an 06 due to the GM badge on the fender and updated grille design.

I like the Malibu but even so i'm amazed to see one reach 300k - it's still a Chevy when all's done! I've seen far worse interiors brought back (remove seats and carpets and hit with power wash / wet vac) but the question is whether it's worth it for such a high miler, even one that's otherwise in good shape.

Just looking at those seats would have me burning my work britches and soaking in sanitizer. 😊

Crap that's a ton of miles for one of those. Whoever owned that was a slob!!

What a coincidence I just scrapped my Malibu too, it was an 05 "Classic" with the 2.4L. Not a bad little car honestly, although I only paid $500 for it like 6 years ago lol. Can't even fathom that one would go anywhere near 300k! Mine was completely tired out by 190k. Fun fact, the recirculate button also turns on the AC in most Malibus from 98-2010

As much shit as I give Chevys this one seems to have held up pretty well. Probably still got some life left in her yet.

Didnt know that v6 could last that many miles! holy shit!

Holy miles batman. And that interior looks like it's teaming with life lol

My notifications failed me this time around. The GM 3500 was a very solid engine, almost as good as the Buick 3800. If it had the four cylinder, it would be lucky to make it to 200K, let alone over 300K

300+k & clearly abused for the last 100k or so, I'd say it's earned the right to a second chance at making the half-mil... Assuming it doesn't have overheating issues, that temp came up hard & fast if that was a cold start & the tank looked brown like it was running tap water...

Had an 04 Malibu Maxx.. so same ugly car but as a Hatchback wagon thing... even in that same burgandy color. Had just over 100000 miles on it when we bought it and we drove the wheels off that car. It was a bomber for the 1 hour each way highway commute myself and one of my employees do daily back and forth so we could let our trucks sit at the plant and never move. Put about 120000 miles over what it had when we got it in 2.5 years time and then one day it ended itself. Steering column made this awful cracking sound for a long time and we never even looked at what it was. One day the column or the rack broke and the steering wheel would just freewheel lol breaking the clockspring for airbag and whatnot. We just junked it as it wasn't worth the money to repair in my opinion being 15 years old with 230000 miles on it. Buddy went to town smashing all the windows out of it, ramming it into stuff in his yard and then had it hauled away. The 3.5 ran great though and the trans never had a problem..... honestly beyond oil changes we did plugs, inner and outer tie rod ends and tires... thats it. Being the hatchback we hauled a couple LS's in it.. a 4L80e.... a 9.5" 14 bolt... hell used it like a truck. If the column never let go in it I am sure it would have surpassed 300000 miles easily.. probably still be driving it lol.

I have an 05 Malibu Maxx ls with over 343,000 miles n he's still going strong

I saw that 😂 MalibUwU

Runs surprisingly well considering the mileage just needs some TLC

These Malibus, from 2004-2007, specficially with the V6, were EXCELLENT cars, and VERY reliable. They were built when GM owned Saab, which definitely helped the case.

chevy malib"uwu" i see what you did there

Next purchase, portable air tank!

The Starter sticking is a one touch start Some GM cars had that back then

Hey Jay been watching your videos for over a year now excellent content! New subscriber and a shot out from Detroit Michigan.

I love those engines! Mine quit a 366k miles!

Does that say 323,000 miles? Wow

I hope my 2008 Impala with the same engine can go that long. It has the same 3.5 V6

got a button for it ??????? SIMPLE GREEEN and a NEW STARTER+ new fuel pump tune up ...............

You are a lot more brave than I am sitting in there.

Glitter and Gold just started playing on my other phone while you were you revving the engine lol.

Nice looking. Car needs a little. TLC

really good video on a cool high millage car!!!! Thanks for posting it!!!!!

Nice vid Jay. 👍🏻

It's amazing how much this car shares with my Pontiac G6. Oh wait they share the same platform

323000 miles? HOOOOLY SHIT, I didn't know a Chevy could go that far!

I paid $900 for a rusty green 14 year old Malibu that had absolutely no options whatsoever, but it did have aftermarket wheels and new tires. Had 140K miles when I got it and I drove it into the ground. The only thing that didn't work was the backup lights, even with new bulbs. Oh, and when I opened the trunk I could see my feet through the rust holes. Finally the oil pump failed at 65 MPH and it seized. I let it cool for an hour and it got me home, rods knocking like crazy. I took all the good parts off it and put them on another 14 year old Malibu, which got totalled a year later. After the insurance settled I got triple my money back. So guess what I bought to replace it? Wrong! It sure as hell wasn't another Mailbu! They are decent, basic transportation with good enough reliability.

02:50 trying zip ties n bias plies, curse the rev limiter.

3500 is a great engine. Not surprised about the miles. If the AC worked that is a 500 dollar car all day son!

“Looks like they’ve hauled some fire wood in it, Typical” 😂😂

I'd say it's been around the block.

I have that exact car. 150,000 miles still going strong. Mine is that off green color so ugly but it gets me to work.

Got the same car but i got the ss model with the 3.9 v6 i love it all blacked out

I think you can just turn the key to start and let it go and the computer will crank it until it starts, which is why the starter kept going after you let it go

Runs better then a Toyota with those miles and looks better.

i have 04 malibu. had the same stalling issue. cleaned the intake Butterfly it fixed it. but it has a issue where the gas pedal does not work when the engine is cold.

Needs a tune up new filters plugs and plug wires she'll be smooth plus possibly a ecu reset to reset the check engine light

You Should Do a Video, Scanning The Codes On That Malibu, Like You Did On The Titan

That's excellent mines got 163.000 miles it's 2001 model there made too last but they alot of care though starter grinds sometimes had a recall brought to Chevrolet done had the car 6 yrs now

8:27 Anyone else see a Range Rover in the distance?

Never seen a Malibu with that many miles

I hope your going to save that mustang Jay 😁

I guess this proves how good these cars with the V6's are!

These weren't bad cars with the 3500 or 3900 V6's (the base model 4cyl Ecotecs had GM's infamous timing chain issues). The oldschool 4-speed auto transmissions in these were solid (and only cost about $100 bucks used pretty much everywhere if they do crap out), no major defects at all with these tin can 2004-2007 generation Malibu's aside from the electric power steering modules, and the fuel gauges in these always quit working.

Had a 06 Malibu Hatchback that I traded in for a new 07 cobalt in 07. The gm cars were halfway decent back then except for the rattles. Now everything's turbo charged.

There's no way that's the original slush box. My 2005 is barely over 140k and it won't hold the gear at speed, has to find it again when i push the gas pedal. All these cars have starting issues in high mileage. Don't hold the key to start it since that trim has the remote start, it'll do everything itself. Clean it up, new tires and it's good to go for well under $1k all in....

I liked these, a much improvement over the 19997-2003's. I'd drive one of these.

Wow it’s done a lot of driving I reckon you could get a few more years out it just needs a good clean inside make a good car for someone

Kind of funny this video pops up my friend just scrapped an identical car to it.

Effortless, no feel steering. This explains your love of S10 pickup trucks!

My sister blew the motor in her Malibu of this same year putting the wrong oil in it. Had a young 3500 V6 engine with 85k original miles.

Put battery in and clean TBI unit.

Signals are signaling "that's good" 😂

The dedication 3:17 thanks jay

Change the fluids, clean her up, slap some Walmart wheel covers on and send it. That's $800 all day

Needs work on fuel system

Very nice, just needs new seats and a tune-up!

I know some people who could've used that car. They would care how dirty it was as long as it ran and drove. I don't consider a car junk until either the motor blows, transmission quits, frame rots out, or if it's all smashed up and totaled in an accident.

Same engine as in the Pontiac Grand Prix or as some people call it the Grand Pricks

hey what did Amy do with the blue 4 door dually

Good chevy

a friend of mine just sold his 06 with the 4 cyl in it. would you believe the interior was WORSE than this? ugh. some people...

That car brings back some memories, my ex mother in law bought one brand new in 05 with the 3500 in it, then I bought an 06 a couple years later with the ecotec and it was the worst car I ever owned, was falling apart before the factory warranty ended

That shows how those cars are pretty good little get around car. And when he said “got my work britches on, it’s okay” that’s was fuckin funny XD

That's just like my Pontiac g6 same engine damn near same interior

My ROP Auto body teacher in 06 had a MAXX vers same color last time I saw it 2009 when the school closed the program

Someone else who says "britches ". I don't feel so alone anymore.

The horn blows, does the driver 🙊🙈🤣. Wow 300,000 miles

Do you still have the old Mercedes 300D ?

i love the 1979 model yearssss

How that thing made it to 320k being a mid 2000s GM product is going to be one of the biggest automotive mysteries in the last 20 years

Whoever owned it got their money's worth

300000 Chevy still running Chevy Built Tough

How much for it?

Good , this isn’t a private video anymore

Sometimes you just got to mat it to get er running

So my 2006 Cobalt is brand new at 220,000 compared to this Malibu. Interior is definitely cleaner.

Yo! I can afford this car! I feel rich now.

Did you ever get a Malibu Maxx?

Cool 😀

Now that is totally awesome video about that car but don't scrapped that car Chevy Malibu In great condition you can sale that car

323,000 miles dayyyyyumm

That’s better than my 400 dollar daily drover Malibu Mine is the generation before that though and it’s an 03 with 178k on it and no problems I’ll be honest to say that I don’t treat it the best though

The stains all over the interior are from all that fast food that was eaten in there. The seat stains look like dried up Sprite soda or 7 Up. Rent a Rug Doctor carpet cleaner with an attachment, and it will clean up. The Rug Doctor also sucks up the cleaner and water out of the carpet and seats.

2006 Malibu has traveled quite a few miles.

Record that gold CRV
