 The car belonged to my neighbor's husband who passed in February. He bought the car brand new in June of 1997 with 1 mile on it as you can see on the title, and has been the only owner and driver of the car. He was 83 when he passed so he was either 65 or 66 when he bought it. This car has not been abused. She finally decided to sell it to me in mid May. The car sat for just over 5 months, so upon purchase, I had it fully serviced at the local Chevy dealership. The service included a new battery, radiator flush, oil change, new spark plugs and thorough inspection. The car has 103,000 miles, which include 3 trips to Vegas from Tennessee and back, and 9 or 10 trips to the Florida Keys from Tennessee and back.  I've driven the car to and from work, which is a 120 mile trip there and back, several times, for a total of 687 miles since my purchase. The car runs BEAUTIFULLY. Very quiet, comfortable ride, yet very strong, and responsive as well. The car is 100% stock other than the deer and crossflags emblem I added. This is a true SS impala, not a clone, as can be found on the codes in the trunk. On a scale of 1-10, the leather is a 10/10, the carpet is 9/10, and the paint is 9.5 of 10, with no noticeable scratches or dings. Everything on the car works as it should from heat and ac, locks and windows, EVEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ON THIS CAR. The tires are BF GOODRICH GFORCE 255/50/17 which was stock option when produced. There is approximately 80-85% tread left, the tires look great all around. No curb rash on the wheels at all. This car is in unbelievable condition. My description or the pictures do it no justice! I own a 2011 Camry and a 2010 Silverado, and neither are as clean as this Impala. It's truly remarkable, and unbelievable the pampering and care this car has received. I've seen numerous b-body's, even some with under 30,000 miles, but this is the cleanest, purest SS I've EVER seen! 

BAD:  
The car sat for over 5 months in a detached garage after the owner's passing. Squirrels nested under the hood and scratched the insulation under the hood. (Pics below)
The odometer fades in and out which is common for these vehicles. You cannot see the mileage during the day, but it does fade in and out, and is visible at night time.
There are 2 plastic knob covers missing from the factory radio adjustments. You can still adjust the bass and treble without the covers.
The rear driver window rolls up and down, but does come off track momentarily.


Please feel free to message me your number for videos and any more pics you may want... Also, do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have about the vehicle, as I know it's entire history, and have seen the service records dating back to 2002.  I have 100% positive feedback, so please bid with confidence, as you can assure that I am an honest seller, that has yet to disappoint a customer. Thanks for stopping by and God Bless you all!!

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover

Wed, Jul 25 2018

Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).
