* Condition: A pristine, low-mileage example will be worth significantly more than one that's rusty, damaged, or poorly maintained.
* Mileage: Lower mileage generally translates to higher value.
* Trim level: Different trim levels (e.g., LS, LT) had varying features and original prices, impacting current value.
* Location: Market demand and local conditions can influence pricing.
* Modifications: Aftermarket modifications can either increase or decrease value, depending on their quality and desirability.
Because of these variables, there's no single answer. To get an estimate of the value of a *specific* 1999 Chevy Malibu, you should use online valuation tools like:
* Kelley Blue Book (KBB): kbb.com
* Edmunds: edmunds.com
* NADAguides: nadaguides.com
These websites will ask you for details about the car's condition, mileage, and options to provide a more accurate appraisal. You can also check online classifieds (like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace) to see what similar vehicles are selling for in your area.
