Things that have gone wrong: the oil sending unit, the radiator had a leak, timing gear went around 10000 klometers and the starter as well.
Well this is an all around great car and one I would recommend buying. its extremely reliable. It still rockets even when fully loaded. its quite inexpensive even though it falls into the full size line of cars. it responds perfectly to the gas petal, steering and brakes. its very easy to maneuver into tight spaces, which is a big help. it has a large trunk and interior. I would defiantly buy another 70's impala.
Well, of course it's inexpensive, it's almost thirty years old.
But you should "defiantly" explain how you found it in 2004 with only 35,000 km on it??
The chev impala runs great, the 350 with 8 people in the car, gives awsome power and the huge stance of the vehicle is amazing. It's fun to drive and the old style interior gives it its good looks. If you see an impala, and you purchase it, you'll have the most you ever had, trust me.
The only downfall, although it's a 350, is the gas mileage is a little on the down side compared to the new vehicles now.
