| Price of the Chevrolet Impala: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Excellent value for what you get. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Bought the vehicle used in Sept2009 on a 2008 model for $15,000. Price seemed great in comparison to what the asking price was in other places for a lesser model (LT). Dealer had put a set of OEM Goodyears on it, and did a good job with detailing it. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Best value for equipment/options out there. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Usually one of more affordable family sedans available. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Only pay $174 a month. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic FWD |
I was looking at Charger, but a less coparably equipted charger was thousands more. |
