The grand prix is my brothers car and his friend lives on a gravel road and it has been really wet lately

 

Another good thing about the impala is that my insurance went down $70 a month

 

Cool, good luck with the new car!

 

Awesome car. My dad had a 1996 buick roadmasyer collectors edition back in the day (same car, engine) and it was a ton of fun to tool around in. I miss it. Maybe down the road you could ls-a and six speed swap that bad boy...

 

I am probably going to keep this stock and get another car if the miles were higher i would definitely have the mod bug going

 

I'd beef out the trans. It's relatively cheap to do, too. My buddy, who's shop did my trans upgrades, has a '96 Impala SS, and it died on him at 60,000 miles. Apparently, the 4L60 in it was not designed for that much torque in such a heavy car.

Sweet car, though. I'd consider trading my Grand National for a clean one.

 

I would love to have a grand national one day. But that day probably wont be for another five years at least so the price is probably going to be even higher for them then.

 

good decision,b/c and here is my reasoning ..i have been down to gm shows at carlisle,pa for many years..shows at carlisle are huge, its a large place..the annual corvette event /show is the largest gatherings of corvettes in the world ! i have there many times in all kinds ,of differant cars !..took my 2008 impala ss v8[ ls4] to gm day at carlisle two years, in a row.. show was packed with impalas but ,not ours..in our class only had two v8 ss /mine and a black one.. the other 5 were v6 fwd , nobody was interested or looked over our cars..as i heard it said before /we dont fit in ! now the model you bought had over 150 impalas,wow/super! thank god some guys/gals said come down and visit with us under our big tent .. was a really hot day!,gave us cold drinks /snacks/ food, etc..also were about 40/ state troopers from 6 states /restored /they drove them from brand new.!. one asked me how i liked my valentine ? for me as soon as gm makes something like the pontiac g8 , with the drive wheels at the right end , my 2008 ss v8 might be history ? rkvette

 

Nice ride. Those cars are so comfortable. My best friend has one and its pretty much a couch on wheels. Easy to get your smash on inside

 

Haha nacho that is funny i might have to try that

 

looks really nice. i like the camaro in the background too.

 

Only because you can't see the front of it

 

Dayum man, sounds like a pretty nice deal! I gotta say, if someone offered me the same for my GXP Id probably go for it!! Always had a crush on those Impy SS's.

 

Yeah the deal was pretty good. The dude who traded me was a weirdo. I dont think he knew what he had.
