About this Current Vehicle:
I bought my Malibu in September 2006. I was looking for a car for weeks and everytime I went and looked at one that I was interested in it was ether to expensive or a pile of junk. I was starting to get down and on day after work I was coming up Route 206 a highway by me and sitting out in front of an old cafe sat a light blue really dirty Malibu. From the first time I saw it I knew it was mine. The gentlemen was asking $1,600 for it I put up an offer for $1,350 and he accepted my offer so than the next day when My Dad and I when to pick it up the gentlemen said that he would sell it to me for $1,200. I couldn't beleive it. We brought it home on Sept 24, 2006 and ever since I've been doing things to it to make it better.
