thanks for help identifying them ;)

its clean inside and out, and dash shows little-to-no wear. im impressed. i wish it didnt have 180k miles and a trailer hitch, but it runs really smooth. and itll run smoother once i replace the tensioner.

Looks good!

But...

You replaced a white '02 Impala with 150,000 miles on it that basically needed a headlight, fender, and a bumper (really only NEEDED a headlight) and some regular maintenance stuff with another white Impala that has 30,000 more miles and paid over $3,000 for it?

I think you would have been much better off keeping your old car and putting the money into it, you would have had a car with less miles that you already knew and could have had it fixed up every bit as nice as this one and probably still had money in your pocket.
