paid $3250 cash for it, engine runs really well, shifts as good as i could hope. ill need to put a new tensioner and fix the brakes, but all thats relatively minor.

the remind me of the malibu, but i thought the malibu had the chevy emblem on them? clearly theres a spot where that could go, but im not sure the hole is the right size for what the malibu has . . .

YUP! This.

I knew they looked familiar, our neighbor has had one for about 5 years.

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.
