They all have DoD...Many consume oil...It is more likely than not to have a trans problem, unless you get it built correctly. Electrical bugs also seem to come up with age and miles.

The trans problem is generally the only thing that typically happens that can leave you stranded.

Also, they can get outstanding highway mileage, but most will get abysmal city MPG

If you're looking for reliability, this might not be the best car for you. If you're willing to put up with the issues above, they're fun cars.

My imp is 06, the later models came with stabilization, 06 did not, I might would want that if I did it all over again

Are you committed to an Impala? If not, my GXP is for sale: https://ls1tech.com/forums/ls4-perfo...ck-wheels.html

I assumed our 2006 has it, as we do have TCS button, as well as the various DIC indicators for it.

OP, look someplace else. These cars are a nightmare.

Stabilitrak only comes in 08 and up, its seperate from traction control. And the car is not a night mare. If you get a good deal and you have a little extra money, upgrade the trans and you will love it. Hell you may never have a trans problem. I would opt for a warranty.

Yeah, we got the best looking color. Everyone else got the leftovers....hehe
