Owning a car...

I bought the car used. Did a full tune up. Radiator flush. Had to change the transmission. Replaced the gas pedal. Have put brakes on four times and got to replace them again as we speak. Have purchased three fobs neither worked. Actuators terrible for this car. Replaced power steering pump and racking pinion. Can't get the tire pressure light off.

Chevy Impala Lt

Constant ticking under dash . It goes off after 5 min of it. It starts clicking from the time you open the driver door to the start up. One sensor went bad now seems other things are going bad.

Great while it lasted

co-signed on one of these for someone. When I got to drive it, it was definitely a smooth ride. It wound up getting taken away but I miss it

Great second car it runs great and low mileage

I couldn’t have found a better deal and a more pleasant seller. The car is in great condition. I will have to put a few dollars into which was expected but nothing major so that’s great.

The First Car after my Heart

I received this as my first car and for six years it held up so well! I drove this to and from high school then commuted to college 55 miles one-way every day. It lasted the journey from Utah to Texas without blowing out the AC during the summer. Honestly, this car was awesome and I would always get an Impala because of it.
