A friend of mine is looking for a used car that is price around 10k. She doesn't want to spend more than 12,000 out-the-door.
She wants an Accord, but the only ones that I could find were 04 4-cyl models with 75k+ miles. She needs the car to last her four years with minimal (or no) repairs, so I suggested something newer (and with fewer miles) that carries a warranty.
I found an 07 Malibu 4-cyl with 27,000 miles that is GM certified pre-owned:

It carries the GM 5-yr/100k warranty for the powertrain. Asking price is $11,000. What's a reasonable price for it? She'll be financing as well, if that matters, so any tips regarding financing are appreciated as well. (I have no experience in that area)
Does anyone own a Malibu that is equipped with the Ecotec? How reliable are these vehicles?
Thanks.
