Looking to buy an impala.

I was wodnering if anyone had any recommendations on what year i should get. I was looking at some 2004 models. I dont really want to spend more then 10k after tax and title. I found one 2004 base model with the 3.4 with 47k listed at 11k. I am pretty sure i can tlak them down to 9k on the vehicle. Is this a good deal or should i continue looking?

If i want to find one lower then 9k beofre tax and title what should i really be looking for? Also what are some good sites to look up on to find a good basis for pricing?

Thank you!

Re: Looking to buy an impala.

I fully disagree. The Impala is a very reliable car, especially 2003 and up, namely those with the 3.8 L engine. I know someone who bought a 2003 brand new and still has yet to have 1 single problem with it. Overall, the Impala is a very competitive and reliable car. JUST DON'T GET THE 3.4 ENGINE!!

Re: Looking to buy an impala.

I've got a 2000 with 87K miles, and it has been very reliable. I'd buy another for sure. But, do spend the extra $ and get the 3.8, it is a much better motor, and the fuel mileage difference is very small.

A lot of rental car companies and lease companies use the Impala, as well as many police agencies. They can't be all that bad.
