According to the VIN and the Operator’s Manual, this 2005 is, in fact, a “Malibu Classic”. I cannot trust anything more because I bought this used car only a year ago.
If (your) issue is that I may have incorrectly identified the model you need to recognize that I have nothing more to rely on than the documentation I received with the car.
More importantly, however, is that I still have the same issue - the car is thirstier than a camel after crossing the Sahara Desert and I cannot afford to quench that thirst.
I need a solution, not a scolding.
