The process of shopping for a vehicle comes with a lot to consider. Aside from the research and endless browsing across the various makes and models available on the market, finding the ideal dealership can be just as stressful. The ideal dealership provides answers to your questions, addresses any concerns you have about a potential vehicle, and provides the very best in knowledge and expertise. Luckily for you, such a dealership already exists in the form of DePaula Chevrolet.
For many drivers, practicality and sustainability are the primary factors when shopping for a vehicle. In an age where the four-door sedan is being produced in lesser quantities due to the immense popularity of the SUV, Chevy is still in the game with the midsize Malibu. Cost-effective and capable, the Chevy Malibu possesses a legacy and reputation that’s only matched by the high standards of quality it adheres to. Whether new or used, there’s a Chevy Malibu for sale waiting for you at DePaula Chevrolet.
While many drivers associate the Malibu name with the practical four-door sedan that made its debut for the 1997 model year, the lineage and legacy of this car stretch back much farther. To gain a full understanding, we need to travel back to what many automotive historians consider the golden age of the muscle car. The first generation of the Malibu, which lasted from 1964 to 1967, came in a variety of forms that catered to the needs of the many. Much like the modern Malibu, a four-door sedan was available, but there was also a station wagon. These were both great options for the family-oriented consumer. However, those who gravitated towards style had the option to go with a two-door convertible or coupe. The two-door Malibu was even available with an SS performance package which featured a 5.4L V8 capable of 300 hp.
The popularity of the muscle car lent itself to the Malibu gaining a widespread reputation as one of the most formidable vehicles on the race track. Had there not been emissions limitations and an energy crisis that saw gasoline prices soar, this high-performance reputation might have lasted longer. By 1978, the Malibu had become a more luxurious car, and production would cease altogether in 1983. This brings us to its resurrection in 1997. While the muscle car will always hold a place in the hearts of many, the Malibu of today is far more focused on providing practicality to drivers. While you might not see a modern Malibu roaring across the blacktop, you will see one providing a solid foundation and a better quality of life for those who seek it.
DePaula Chevrolet believes in a number of core values that set us aside from the competition. Among those is a desire to provide the very best for our customers. This means providing knowledge and expertise regarding every vehicle that’s on our lot. There’s nothing you will find here that we wouldn’t drive ourselves. Because the Malibu has such a cherished legacy, we hold every single one on our lot to the highest standards of quality.

Aside from being a popular vehicle with sales exceeding the 100,000 unit mark each year, the Malibu has been proven to be a safe and reliable choice. Consistently receiving high safety ratings since its 1997 rebirth and proving that the four-door sedan is just as economically viable now as it always was. At DePaula Chevrolet, your shopping experience is important to us. This is why we’ll work with you when it comes to selecting and financing a vehicle, giving you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you’ve made the best decision. There are a lot of dealerships that promise a good shopping experience, but at DePaula Chevy, we deliver.

Chevy hasbeen making some of the most reliable and impressive cars on the road for more than a century, which is the kind of pedigree you cannot find with most other brands out there. While their spacious SUVs and hard-working trucks reveal this as well as any other model, there is something special about the Malibu and how it lives up to that legacy.
The midsize design of the Chevy Malibu makes it a great option for singles, couples, and small families looking for something that is easier to manage than a big SUV. You can find a wide range of impressive tech features and modern options on the Malibu, so no matter what you are looking for in your next car, Chevy is ready to deliver. In particular, the Chevy Safety Assist package of driver assistance technologies that is standard on every Malibu model makes it an amazing option for enjoying your drive each day and getting home safely. With a new Chevy Malibu, you can get the most from your vehicle with impressive performance, innovative tech inside, gorgeous styling, and the latest safety systems designed to ensure you and your loved ones are safe on the road—it does not get any better than that.
In addition to all of the great features that come with the investment of a brand-new Chevy Malibu, you are also able to take advantage of an array of protections that come with a new model. This includes a 3-year/36,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty that covers repairs and parts for any defects in the workmanship or materials. It also includes a 5-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty that covers components like the engine, transmission, and drive systems. These warranties are complemented by other benefits such as 24/7 Roadside Assistance, as well as courtesy transportation during any repairs covered under warranty. Your first maintenance visit with us is also covered, too, which includes services like an oil change, tire rotations, and a multi-point inspection.
Chevy's comprehensive protections also include an Emissions Control Systems Warranty, which covers the Malibu for 2-years/24,000-miles. All metal components are also covered, if corrosion should occur, for up to 3-years/36,000-miles. This is protected further with Rust-Through Protection, which will cover your Malibu should rust create a hole in any of the paneling for 6-years/100,000-miles. As you can see, when you choose to get behind the wheel of a Chevy vehicle, you have the support of this iconic manufacturer for a wide range of things, should something unexpected happens. It's just one of the many ways Chevy and our dealership are looking out for you and your Malibu.
While we love the feel of driving a new Chevy Malibu—there is nothing else quite like it—we also know that a new model is not right for every driver. Here at DePaula Chevrolet, we are committed to ensuring all of our customers find the perfect vehicle with the features and options you are looking for. That is why we work so hard to maintain a fantastic selection of pre-owned models for you to choose from, including the Malibu. This makes it easier for you to consider a wide range of different options, including Malibu models from different years and generations, so you can find everything you want.
Chevy is well known for making vehicles that are reliable and fun to drive for a long time, so you can rest easy knowing a used Malibu has plenty of life left in it. Of course, there is no way to completely eliminate the uncertainty of not knowing everything a previous driver might have done with a vehicle. That is why it pays to shop at a dealership that you know you can trust to offer great used models in the best condition possible. Here at DePaula Chevrolet, we pride ourselves on offering you pre-owned vehicles that are in great shape, so you can shop with confidence and drive away with tremendous peace of mind.
If you are looking to get a terrific used vehicle that you know is in the best condition possible, with support from the original manufacturer, then it is hard to beat a certified pre-owned (CPO) model. With a CPO Chevy Malibu, you know you are getting a terrific car that is in excellent shape and that will last you a long time. In order for a vehicle to be offered as a Chevy CPO model, it must be within the last six model years and it cannot have more than 75,000 miles on it. In addition to these strict requirements, every CPO Malibu has to pass an extensive 172-point vehicle inspection and reconditioning process, so you know it is in great shape.
While these kinds of assurances are terrific, a CPO Chevy Malibu comes with more than that to provide you with fantastic peace of mind: two impressive warranties. You get a six-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty on any CPO Malibu along with a 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty so you can drive with total confidence. Beyond that, you get even more benefits like two included maintenance visits, 24/7 roadside assistance and courtesy transportation, and even a three-day vehicle exchange window if you drive away and quickly realize you should have picked a different model. All of this makes shopping for a CPO Malibu incredibly easy and rewarding.
Most people do not look forward to the financing process when shopping for a vehicle. We get it—figuring out financing can be a hassle and stressful. Even worse, some dealerships use the financing process as a way to try to push you toward vehicles or options you do not want, focusing only on getting as much money from their customers as possible. That is not what we do here at DePaula Chevrolet. Our focus, throughout the entire car-buying process, is on what you need and getting you the right vehicle with financing that fits your budget. That means we will listen to you, answer all of your questions, and make sure the financing process is as easy and transparent as possible.

Even if you already have a loan offer from your bank or a credit union, we can quickly look over all of your options to make sure you get the best terms possible.
Making sure you continue to enjoy your vehicle is very important to us—we are not interested in grinding through customers as quickly as possible or making a sale at any cost. Our goal, each and every day, is to build long-term relationships with all of our customers, which means ensuring you get the most from your Chevy Malibu for a long time. With our certified service center, we can assist you with any maintenance, routine service, or other repairs you need in the years ahead.
