Thinking of buying the 2002 Chevrolet Impala?
No 2002 Chevrolet Impala is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2002 Chevrolet Impala, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Specs, explained
Under the hood: the 3.4L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 10.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 32 litres for a 300 km round trip. That works out to about $16.59 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the Impala
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 510 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the Impala suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If the Impala is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the Impala on your commute before you commit to it.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Still deciding?
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2002 Chevrolet Impala from us first.
