I bought with 34K miles and now have 156K. I have replaced wheel bearings at 90K and brakes a few times. Issues I am having now is traction control light on, ABS, Check engine. The security light comes on when I try to start it and it won't let me start for 10-15 minutes. It has never left me stranded and gets 30 mpg. Driver seat has no lumbar support. Heating element in driver seat went out at 55K.

I've had my '02 Impala for 9 years and it's been the greatest thing I've ever owned. I've spent very little over the years on repairs. Yes there have been a few expensive ones, but only a few, and even then I wonder if I was just getting ripped off. The value of this car has been amazing. I live in Colorado and it has also been absolutely excellent in the snow. For its age/price it also has a nice interior. There are other used cars in this value range that look jankier than the Impala does inside. It's older but it still feels like you're in a nice car. Also, the speakers were SLAMMIN when I first got this. They are not working anymore and I miss them dearly. But they are SO much better than anything you could find in a new, decently affordable car. When I'm done with my current Impala I'm buying another just like it, hands down. Would never ever buy a new car over a used older Impala due to the low cost of ownership and long life. I'm so grateful they're still around!

Have had very few break downs, only problem have been the brakes but it is not that much of a problem. Also it gets pretty good gas mileage for a 4dr Sudan. Though I found the default radio deck controls kind of confusing at first, as I am use to simpler buttons, but there not that hard to understand.

I got this car used with 40k. The ride is smooth and you don't feel the bumps unless they are huge. The engine is underpowered for the car at only 180 hp. The seats are comfortable but the middle seat connects to the driver seat which is stupid. The interior is very boring and cheap with cheap plastics and no features, it came with a tape player, so I had to get a CD player. The exterior is nice, esp. the tailights, the paint has a nice shine. The trunk is huge, so you have lots of room for things. Reliable, starts up 1st try. Routine maintenance, wear an tear. The brakes are bad, put hard on to stop, and need replacing often. Other than that turn signals, rack/pinoin lubricating, muffller
