Used value estimate
2017 Chevrolet Malibu value
By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2017 Chevrolet Malibu in good condition with average mileage (about 112,500 miles) is worth roughly $9,400 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $8,650 to $10,150, or about $10,800 at a dealer. Note: 2017 is a flagged year for this model (2016–2018 (1.5T)) — Oil consumption and turbo failures on the small turbo — the engine to skip without records. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.
