How much is a 2020 Chevrolet Malibu Ls worth?
A 2020 Chevrolet Malibu Ls has a median retail value of $11,998, with most appraised between $10,547 and $12,642. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $2,000 across 6 recent sales — the middle 50% between $900 and $2,400.
Why is the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu Ls so cheap at auction?
