Vehicle Description
6534 2002 Chevrolet Impala LS 4 Door Sedan
After a four year hiatus, the Impala name was reintroduced for the
eighth generation, beginning in 2000. Even in SS trim, the car was
equipped with a V6 and was front wheel drive. Power windows, locks,
and mirrors and the LS came with a rear spoiler that could be
deleted at the buyer's request.
For consignment, a 2002 Chevrolet Impala LS 4 door sedan with a
title verified 22,884 miles showing on the odometer. It's a highly
optioned car that includes 6-way power adjustable leather seats and
a power sunroof.
Exterior
Navy Blue Metallic paint covers this car which combines the slight
boxiness of previous generations with flush mounted lights and
rounded corners of future offerings from Chevrolet. The plastic
lenses on the headlights are crystal clear and fog lights are
fitted flush into the lower front valance. There are lower body
moldings along the rocker panel and around the rear valance which
gives the car a slightly lower, sporty look. If you remember when
this generation was released, you'll remember the unique taillight
design which wraps a red plexiglass panel across the entire rear of
the car embedding dual taillights and the reverse light in what
almost seems like a nod to Corvettes and other vintage Chevrolets.
Sport mirrors and a rear spoiler add even more sportiness to this
otherwise conservatively designed passenger car. We were hard
pressed to find any flaws on the exterior.
Interior
Nicely appointed door panels include a woodgrain trim piece amongst
varying shades of gray molded plastic in a neat and clean design.
Gray leather bucket seats occupy the front and include sporty
headrests and pleated inserts. The driver's side shows just a bit
of patina creasing in the leather but is not worn or torn. A rear
bench seat includes three headrests, three shoulder seat belts, and
a pull down armrest, all very clean. Leather wraps the steering
wheel also which is replete with radio and cruise control thumb
buttons. The dash is textured molded gray plastic with a basic
gauge package and a woodgrain trim piece that spans across the
dash, visually connecting the door trim. The center stack contains
large buttons for radio and climate control and the radio includes
a cassette and CD player. An ergonomic shifter is in the center
console just ahead of cupholders and storage bin. Low pile gray
carpet covers the floor and is clean, as is the padded gray cloth
headliner molded around the sunroof. An overhead console contains
garage door buttons and OnStar capability. The trunk is fully lined
with gray cloth and panels.
Drivetrain
A clean 3.8 liter V6 is under the hood, fuel injected and rated at
200 horsepower. It is set into motion via a 4T65E 4-speed automatic
transmission which keeps the power up front with 3.05 gears. Power
disc brakes are found on both front and rear.
Undercarriage
Aside from the typical surface rust, the underside is in like new
condition with no dirt or oil to speak of. The single exhaust flows
through an original equipment muffler and then exits out back under
the rear bumper cover. MacPherson struts occupy the front and
rear.
Drive-Ability
This is my first time driving this generation Impala and what a
fine example to start with! It's a very clean car that looks and
functions like it came from the dealership 2 years ago instead of
22 years ago. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
Here's a handsome automobile from the early 2000's with the
venerable 3.8 liter V6 from GM. It's almost Radwood fodder and kept
in this condition, will be a unicorn in years to come as 99.9% of
these were used and used up. It's already fairly uncommon to see
one. Look for this one on our TikTok soon where old daily driver
cars routinely attract a million views, sometimes more than our
rare classics! Be sure to call if interested!
