Used Chevy Impala IA

               

The Chevy Impala, over its five decade model run, has become one of America's most well-known nameplates. Throughout the 1960s, the Chevy Impala dominated the sales charts, culminating in 1965 when more than 1 million were sold. Those early Impalas were often America's most popular car, and they still hold significance today. The Chevy Impala that we all know debuted in 2000, as a modern vehicle with a storied past. Since the new millennium, the modern Impala has served as Chevrolet's main full-size sedan, capable of transporting up to six people. With front-wheel drive and V6 power on most trim levels, the used Impala models continue the tradition of large, affordable Chevrolet family sedans.

           

Modern Impala's offer buyers a choice of smaller fuel efficient engines or for those who want traditional full out power, the Impala SS offers the V8. However, it was only offered from 1994-'96.  Viewed from the outside, the 2000 Impala is not the biggest passenger car Chevy sells. But it's big inside. The modern used Impala is a quick car, spunkier than the six-seat models from Toyota, Dodge, Ford and Buick. And with unique suspension tuning, this new Chevy Impala is not the wallowing boat of the '60s Impalas.

The previous generation Impala was offered from 2000-'05 with minimal changes. Its basic dimensions are very similar to those of the current generation, but it lacks that model's significant updates. For this generation, there were two main trim levels -- base and LS. In 2004, Chevy added the SS trim. The latest-generation Chevrolet Impala has been available since the 2006 model year. Improvements on this model compared to the previous-generation Impala are vast. These include new engines, more composed handling, a higher-quality interior and updated styling. Since that '06 debut, changes have been minimal, though '08 and newer Impalas have additional safety features as standard equipment.
