The Chevy Impala can easily surpass 150,000 miles if properly maintained. One crucial way to ensure your car's longevity is by staying on top of scheduled maintenance. Routine tasks such as changing fluids can significantly extend the life of your vehicle by reducing strain on essential parts like the engine and transmission. Moreover, bringing your car in for service presents a chance for a mechanic to inspect it thoroughly. Regular inspections allow mechanics to catch minor issues before they escalate, making it simpler to address a small problem early on rather than waiting for it to grow into a major, potentially catastrophic issue.
160,000 miles on the clock? My 2008 Impala has already clocked up 379,000 miles and it's time for its first transmission overhaul. Surprisingly, this is the first major repair I've had to do on it. It hasn't needed any engine work at all, not even a timing chain replacement.
271,000 miles and counting. Minor oil and transmission seepage, but still running strong.
Your Chevy Impala has the potential to reach 160,000 miles through routine maintenance, but be aware that components such as the transmission could start to fail at that point.
My car has reached 80,000 miles and is experiencing numerous issues.
I've followed the instructions in the Owner's Manual to keep my car in good condition. I purchased it when it had 36,987 miles, and now it has over 85,993 miles, mainly from traveling on highways for business and family reasons. It's been a fantastic drive – smooth and fuel-efficient with an average of 35.7 miles per gallon at 69 miles per hour using Cruise Control.
My vehicle has reached 180,000 miles, and it is showing signs of wear and tear. Recently, I had to change the alternator, and this week I am replacing the trunk mechanism. The starter also seems to be failing, and the turn signal assembly is acting up. The power steering pump was replaced a year ago, and the rear wheel hub was replaced at 100,000 miles. These are the main repairs I've had to do since purchasing the car with 25,000 miles on it. Despite these issues, the car still drives and handles like new, and I haven't noticed any decrease in performance.
My 2011 Chevy Impala recently broke down after reaching 189,500 miles. The only problem I had with it was when I had to replace the radiator fan for $200, which I did myself. Other than that, I didn't have any issues with it. Unfortunately, the engine gave out and the car died. I believe I got good value out of it.
My 2013 Impala is still running strong with 220,000 miles and no problems.
80,000 miles on the odometer, had to get a new transmission control module for $1600. I found it unexpected that it needed that at such a low mileage.
I have accumulated 315,000 miles on my 2004 SS. I replaced the original transmission at 305,000 miles, and I bought the car when it had 192,000 miles on it.
My car was trouble-free until it hit 150,000 miles, when it began overheating because of a damaged head gasket.
