What exactly do you want to know? What options do the cars have, what condition are they in, etc? I would make sure you pay as little as possible for what ever one you choose since the Malibu has a horrible resale value.

The '08 LT with almost 48K isn't worth anywhere near $15,863 that is for sure.
All the '08 LTZ's with 24-32K should all be priced lower as well. If you ask me the only car there not over-priced is the '10 LTZ with 7K on it.

I just wanted to see what you guys thought of these prices that's all. So you answered my question. Thank you

You should do your home work first: understand all the Malibu models and determine which one will fit your need. Then go from there. There are 4 base models: LS, LT1, LT2 and LTZ. Then there are options going with these models.
Don't just go out there and just pick one base on price. I've seen a brand new LS costs low 16K + TTL. All the prices you listed look high to me.

And if you do any negotiating at all, you can come pretty close to that price for a 2011, brand new. And new is much easier to finance.

You can get $2500 rebate, $1000 loyalty (if you already own a GM car), and $1000 plus off the list price without any haggling.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Malibu, but I would suggest for you to look into other cars..

I had to decide between a 09 Malibu with 36k for $13,300 and a 07 Nissan Altima with ~45k for $13,700. I ended up with the Malibu (mostly because I liked the looks/interior of it better, and it was newer) but I often wish I bought the Altima. Maybe it's because I had an Altima for my first car, I don't know?

There's just screwy things with this car that I don't like, such as a dumb bolt pattern (limited wheel choices) and other GM discrepancies.

However, I found that the Malibu had the quietest ride out of many cars I test drove, its interior is very nice, the exterior is sporty/classy, very roomy. So all-in-all, I'm happy with my decision. It's up to you, just do your research first.
