Used Chevrolet Impala for Sale in Princeton, MN

I love this car, I was nervous at first because I have heard negative reviews for the never (2005-13) style Chevrolet Impala. I am a prior Impala owner, I have owned three other impalas, a 2001 impala with the 3.4 engine, this one had some issues with the electrical systems, a 2004 with the 3.4 engine, this one had a head gasket and transmission replacement. and finally I had a 2002 impala with the 3.8 motor, which I had heard was the best motor out there, so it was very coveted. But it also had some issues. I have almost had no issues with my newer 2006 model. this one has the 3.5 engine in it, and it seems to me to have just the right amount of get up and go, while still allowing for 26 mpg. I have only had this car for about a year, but I drive quite a bit for my commute and living in Minnesota, we all know about how the roads are. I never thought anything about taking my impala out. I love that it has remote start for cold days, and I can just point my remote at the car and it starts right up. the sound system is very nice. I am so happy that they returned to using a bench seat, makes it feel more comfortable.

Overall the car has performed well and I have gotten over 180,000 miles on it so far. It is very reliable starting in the Minnesota winters. It provides a smooth ride for the mostly city driving I used it for. In earlier years, it was very comfortable on long trips. The seating is comfortable for a large person and can fit 5 people comfortably. Most of the normal maintenance can be handled by an individual without good mechanic knowledge or heavy tools such as battery replacement, front light replacement, tires and a few of the belts. The car has never shown any leaks or other equipment problems other than just normal wearing out. On a negative note, the rear lights, especially the reverse lights, require a major process to change. You have to remove and entire back plate to get to the lights and a 10 minute $5.00 repair is impossible on this. The computer sensors seems to have a problem as the car ages and it is giving 'false positives' on service issues in the car. The lights can be ignored but it does make for some nervous driving with numerous caution lights on the dashboard.
