I'm looking for advice on how to determine the outlying negotiation range for a used Impala. I am looking at retail as the high extreme whereas wholesale is what the dealer paid. Theoretically, I should fall somewhere in between. Since "wholesale" is generally an unavailable, market determined price, can I approximate wholesale price with the going KBB (or similar) trade-in value for value purposes? It appears that on average, retail prices seem to be be 20-40% over the trade-in value. If so, should I be able to pick-up a basic LS/LT '04, '05 w/ approximatly 35k for $10,500 (east coast/midwest regions)? Too low? Too high? Any advice would be appreciated!! |

I just paid $800 (including labor) for a new AC Compressor. The mechanic said none of his suppliers had the part in stock - it was on backorder everywhere. I did some web research online and found a brand new AC Compressor for just over $300 - I found it on discountacparts.com I've heard this is a common part that goes bad on the 06 models and thought I'd get the word out for a good place to find one if you need it.

| if you go to http://www.gmbuypower.com you can find out what the employee pricing will be for a car you build. it will discount it as you build it. but you must also clik the bottom where is says see special offers for you area it will take additional rebates off on top of the pricing. and also remember you can use your gm master card points in addition to that. might be a good deal for someone. | |
Anyone buy an Impala lately? Any deals out there?

Replying to: gs42 (Feb 23, 2009 4:24 pm) With the current incentives, you should be able to get between $4K-$5K off of sticker for an Impala. If I were going to buy another Impala tomorrow, I would offer the dealer invoice plus $200, and then take all available rebates off of that price. Any dealer wanting to move a unit off the lot in this economy would be foolish not to agree to such a deal. If you have a trade-in, however, don't expect to receive anything other than lowest auction price for trade-in value.

2008 LTZ, sunroof, 18" tires and alloy rims plus all the LTZ goodies, out the door including NC taxes, 399 dealer prep fee and other associated junk fees, the last day of nov. (what they say about dealing on last day of month is true) all for $16,000.. Car was listed at $20,999 on lot, online at $19,999 traded in 2001 LS with 136,000 miles, ticking lifter, traction control crap problem, leaking intake manifold (dex cool deal) , cooling fan would run at times for no reason. the trans was rebuilt at 100,000 miles like all the rest of the 2000-2002's.. needing tires, one window vent shade missing, but not smoked in, paint is excellent condition, interior like new, mud flaps... man i miss that car..

Replying to: carlnc (Feb 25, 2009 8:41 pm) My mother is in the market and it is a toss up for Impala or Ford Fusion. I used to own a 2001 Malibu and absolutely hated that piece of junk. I vowed never to own a Chevy again. It was part of that HUGE dexcool lawsuit after all. I'm pushing her to the Fusion, but have heard good things about Impala. |

Replying to: carlnc (Feb 25, 2009 8:41 pm) I was desperate to get out of my tiny unreliable 2001 kia rio so in 2006 i bought a 2005 impala base model with 33000km's. Pretty bland and boring but i have always loved gm styling and i needed a bigger family vehicle. Also this is pretty much right before the market went boom and dealerships were greedy. Sticker - $18,500 Price reduced $750 Trade in value : $6500 money still owed on trade in $6300 No gst All said and done $20,000 Current km's -71000 Past Problems- Brake Rotors at 68,000 a/c is currently clogged and leaking into my passenger seat(fixing it tonight). Everything else was wear and tear like tires wipers and such. On the bright side my impala has never made me late for work or stranded me on a road trip for that i am grateful Was just desperate to get out of the rio i guess But i think i am going to trade it in for something with mroe options what do you guys think about a 07 ss impala 23,000km for $23,900 or a 08 impala ss 44,000km for $23,800 both are negotiable down some, the 07 seems like a better deal but from crusing the forums here it seems 07 was a bad year for the impala :/ Any sorta of thought on this matter would be appreciated
