So im doing some new car shopping, and ive been looking at some impala SS's im looking at some mid-higher mileage ones 80-120k miles as im going to just use it for a DD are there any specefic problems i should be looking out for? and how outrageous are they on insurance?
i had a 95 LT1 caprice which is the same as an impala ss except for the cool looks lol. check for rust or rust repair in the lower rear quarters, make sure its a real SS by the codes in the trunk( i think an ss is code wx3 but double check), make sure the trans shifts good, see when the last time it was tuned up)tune ups are a pain in the ass and $$
They're nice driving cars. If I can recommend ANYTHING put an exhaust on it and have a tune put on it. The differences are unbelieveable between stock and a well tuned automatic LT1 car.
I had a 96 for about two years. Sold it with 120k on it and it still ran and drove awsome. I wouldn't have no problem buying another with high miles if it was in pretty good shape.
I know where there are a few of these. A friend has one and the cycle shop around the corner from me has another. Let me know if you would like more information and I will get back to you.
OK thansk for the advise guys, yea they are nto cheap by anymeans, but ive always loved them, and form what i hear there great cars i was considerign this or a maruader but id liek to stick GM, im just looking for a big body i can load up whoever with 4 maybe 5 people if nessecary and we can go mobb around instead of all takin our cars (plus i can get some extra gas money) thanks alot for the info again
