The Time Has Come to trade in My 2018 - Page 4

My son has a 2017 Civic. His buddies have leaned on the car while talking to him & they have dented the sheet metal above the doors. Talk about cheap thin metal !

BTW fellas my Camaro is at Auto Nation Chevy in Peoria AZ, for $24,909. They represented the miles wrong, just a tiny bit above 4K.

Congrats on the Impala. I bought one in Nov of '17...V6 Premier....25% off sale...Almost two years later, not one single issue. I love the car. Great mileage, about 30-31 mpg on the highway on regular.

I too wanted one before they are gone....You'll find they have more cabin space and trunk space than any of the new Cadillacs. Last of the V6s without start/stop, or AFM...You can't get a V6 in the Malibu. Only regret of sorts is that I didn't get the Adaptive Cruise Control. But, at the time, it was only available with the 20" wheel package and cost about another 5K. Reviews I read said the 19" wheels ride better....

Anyway, congrats again and good luck.

P.S. and as a bonus of sorts, it was made in the USA...

It's Silver Ice Metallic. Jet Black interior. You might consider the accessory mud-flaps...I think they look ok and I have no rock chips. Also I got the WeatherTech floor mats...They are much nicer than I thought they would be. Really saves the flooring and very easy to clean.
WeatherTech also makes very nice form fitted sun shades for all the windows. I mostly use the front and rear ones, but because they fit so nicely they really do a better job and are much quicker to put in and take off than the bulky accordian ones that don't really fit. Good luck.

Nice color. Are the mud flaps original GM? I'm not diggin the wrap around style of yours. I did build the Impala on Chevy's site with flaps. I am looking into them although I had no rear well chips on Camaro in 1 yr.

I have the LT wheels in 18 inch so I'm digging the more comfy ride.

Yes, original GM. They were on the car when I bought it. Meh, they don't bother me looks-wise, so I just went with them...no biggie.

I always knew the heat in AZ messed peoples minds up.

Holy cow! I have the same wheels as your premier. No mention of upgrade on the window sticker. I gather a factory screw up.
