Love this car. Purchased car w/ 30K on it. 276,000 miles and It is still serving me very well. I use Mobile 1 Ext ser oil & a Wix filter & Mobile 1 trans fluid. Chg the coolant apx every 50- 70K & it just keeps running. Avg hwy mpg dropped to 28.5 so I changed the plugs (iridium) & wires ( Borg Warner Select) & I'm back to 34 + Chg the oil & rotate tires every 10K. Use quality parts & regular service intervals.

It's hard to beat an old Chevy

We have a 2004 Impala that my wife bought new. It is a 3.4, but is loaded with the Sport Appearance Package, Sunroof, Aluminum Wheels, etc. We're up to 94,000 miles. All we've ever fixed was the water pump, replace the battery, and tires. Otherwise, it has been dead reliable, and serves us very well. It looks as good as it did the day we bought it inside and out. We just bought a new Impala to replace it, but the old one was so good, we decided to keep it as a second car.

I bought a used 04 Impala 2 years ago and i loved i just sold it today to help out a family member and it broke my heart. The only complaint is the headlights...i bought brand new ones off of amazon they made a big difference...but when i would turn the brights on if it didn't click all the way id be driving and the sudden the lights shut off! Living in the country with no street lights and a lot of curves that was very scary...i never had them checked i just made sure i pushed hard and kept my hand near the switch. Other than that i loved it even with high miles it still ran like a champ
