Why are the 2006-2008 Chevrolet Impala's So cheap as far as pricing is concerned?

Question

I am defiantly looking into getting a 2006-2007 Chevrolet Impala LT with the Remote Starter on the key fob. I am browsing through the web and these prices are incredible for these Chevrolet Impala's. I saw one with 27k miles for $10k. That is so cheap. I was wandering why are they so low? And I was curious to know are these cars durable to own? These prices are so low now days.

Answer 1

these cars have very common problems associated with GM's

i work for a fleet company and i would not purchase one unless it still had factory warranty



some very common problems: steering shafts, blower motor resistors, wheel bearings (not so much on passenger cars),



these cars have special (DEX 6) transmission fluid, that quite often doesn't get put back in when a service is done that leads to premature transmission failure



plus GM is being bailed out by the government, not a good place to be when you're a car manufacturer

Answer 2

Cheap Impalas

Answer 3

Low tech vehicle made with few changes in large volumes. Basic sedan that will deliver good service for the first 5 years of ownership.



Not a standout in it's segment, overshadowed by other brands but not to bad from GM all things considered.



Due to it's reputation a buyer will notice that it is less expensive than something from Honda or Toyota.



Do some research on this vehicle online if you need to know more about it.

Answer 4

Its a good car and if it has the 3.8 V6 that is a great engine.



Lots of people view American cars as junk which has caused low resale values. Its not true but the reputation is there.

Answer 5

Impala for polka blasting? Hmmmmm ... i don't know..... What about minivan, like the one in the movie "Home Alo/ne"? Please award Best Answer points to me right now because I deserve them, as you can now plainly see and must agree. I do not want to wait because I am not at all patient with you.
