I just got a 2003 impala LS with 56k miles on it and has options I did not knew existed. I immediatley replaced all the quirks they had like the plastic coolant elbows and lower and upper intake gaskets. The car is not even broken in yet. It was garaged its entire life by an old lady. $3000.

Yea replace those plastic parts they are no good. I have a 2002 Impala LS and a plastic gasket blew and the car overheated in the middle of summer in Texas. Luckily she’s in good condition and is now officially 20 years old. Replaced plastic for metal.

3:28 This generation of Impala looked the best, with those smoked headlights and round tail lights (too bad GM only gave two of the four round tail lights bulbs, the other two were just reflectors). I think it looked light years better than the next gen plain Jane vanilla designed Impala :)

I have been a proud owner of a 2000 Base and a 2004 LS and they both were the best cars I ever owned. And they look bad ass as a police car

I had two of them. A 2003 Impala LS, and a 2005 Base model. Had both the 3.8 V-6, and the 3.4 V-6. They were both maintained regularly at the Chevrolet dealership according to the factory maintenance schedule. Had both for 14 years. Both had major problems even with the regular maintenance. Had to replace two transmissions just shy of 70,000 miles one for each one. The rack and pinion would leak after 20,000 miles. Both had upper and lower intake gasket problems. The ABS traction control modules had to be replaced on each one. The wheel hubs would fail and the ABS light would come on. One had the catalytic converter plug up. The worst cars ever in our family. GM could have had a better transmission, and ABS Traction Control Module in these cars. They could have also had a better rack and pinion. The 2003 Impala LS I had also had cracks develop in the aluminum engine cradle. It nearly broke, and was repaired by GM by a silent recall. I could have been better off in a Ford Crown Victoria.

Got a 2003 LS with 146,400 miles on it with the 3.8L V6. It's got some bad body damage and some other quirks but I got it for $1000. if getting the transmission fluid and filter changed again fixes the slipping caused by the first (only fluid) transmission service I did when I got it, I'm gonna put money into making it a nice car

They forgot the greatest feature of all, after decades of making the 3.8 v6 reliable, they put a different head gasket in them that makes them leak antifreeze into the piston chambers and ruins the engine.

Some of the 3.4 equipped Impalas also had head gaskets that were pinched when assembled in the factory. The GM Dexcool sealed them until you got 65,000 miles. Then they failed, and the coolant would leak out onto the exterior side of the block. The engine would start to use coolant, and smell when driving. The head gasket would leak externally. I had the problem on my 3.4 equipped Impala. My 3.8 equipped Impala also developed upper and lower intake gasket problems. I sold both of them.

I always liked these since they went on sale. It's a shame to find a clean one with little to no rust is nearly impossible. The other thing is I kinda wish they made the Impala FWD for 1986 when the Olds 88 and Buick Le Sabre did.

I had a 2003 LS with the 3.8 V-6. It would go easily 95 MPH on the freeway effortlessly. When it did go that fast, it felt like you were only doing 60.

I had an 03.. Silver base BASE model. Probably the most unreliable car I've ever owned but ran great when it ran. Had all the problems these were known for and then some. Made almost 195k miles before the transmission was going out and I sold it.
