Is a Chevy Impala still reliable at 100K miles?

[Alex]

Do these cars have reliable parts and a reliable motor? Are they still reliable at 100K miles?

My 2006 Impala LT runs great!!!

I had a 03 Impala before with over 100,000 miles and it still ran good

The short answer is it depends. What year is the Impala? If it's a 2000-2005 they're great cars that run for hundreds of miles with basic upkeep. The 3.4L engine used in these cars does have the occasional problem with a cracked head gasket which can be a fairly pricey fix, but this is not that common in the Impala and otherwise I would consider them a trouble free car. The 2006-now model Impala is a great car, mechanically speaking. The 3.5L is very reliable and gives great gas mileage.

All in all the Impala is a good used car to buy.
