2012 Chevrolet Malibu, used
A fair price at 60,000 km is $8,034 to $12,003 (estimated), from 11 similar cars in Canada this month (3 already sold).
Right in line with the market. You might get a few hundred off, but there is no big overcharge here.
Only 1 2012 Malibu listed near 60,000 km, so this is estimated from the nearest listed mileage (100 to 150k km, 4 cars) using how Malibu prices fall with mileage.
Hi, I am interested in the 2012 Malibu listed at $10,995. Comparable ones in Canada have been selling between $8,034 and $12,003 at this mileage, typically around $10,019. Would you take $10,019? I can come in this week.
830 used Malibus (2010 and newer) in Canada right now. Here are the 20 most recently listed, each checked against the fair range for its own year and mileage. 2 look like good deals.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $8,034 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2011 saves about $1,627 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 3 of the 11 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 4 cars at the nearest mileage). Prices are per vehicle; the same car listed at several rooftops is counted once. Sold cars are kept in because a car that sold at a price is evidence about that price.
