205 000 kilometers on it, which is quite high. Loaded. Cassette. Cold Air Condition not coming out. Not been safety certificated or e-tested yet. Bought from big auction. Beautiful car. Though needs some rust cover ups, and the dirty ciggerete interior cleaned. "Looks" like its in excellent running condition. Looks like new tires, without hub caps, which is good i hate hub caps. And a spare tire in the back. But I dont know how to put them on anyways. First car I ever bought. Ok....... tell me if it was a good deal!!!!!!!! And tell me how many more kilometers do you think I can get out of it! Another same year malibu there had 283 kilometers on it. Do you think I'd be forced to put in more money than its worth to get things fixed in order to get the safety certification??? And I hate to say this but I never checked under the hood... because I don't know what any of that means. couldnt fit it in, read more....

If you are a professional maybe you can help me with that by describing in kindergarten language what I need to check and do, my email is jack_resnick@hotmail.com. And maybe you can come over and do all the work for me out of good will. Just joking. But it sucks to not know anyone and then having to go to an autobody shop to pay thousands of dollars each time. thanx

That money for a '98 anything that moves under its own power is a fair deal. 205k km isn't all that much for a 9 year old vehicle -- a hair over average in the US and I would suspect the same in Canada as well.

Ya, that sounds like a good to fair deal.
I have a 99 Malibu with over 260,000 kms on it. It still runs good. I bought it new and have had very little problems with it.
A couple years ago I started using the engine oil "formulated for high mileage vehicles" and noticed a bit better fuel mileage and it seems to run a bit smoother. A little rust is starting to appear around the back fenders and fuel door, but other than that it still looks good too.
