What should I look for when buying a used 2015 Chevrolet Impala?

At 51.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and pay close attention to any prior collision repairs, especially on cars with lower prices. A pre-purchase inspection is worth prioritizing so you can check for uneven panel gaps, tire wear, suspension issues, and signs of poor repair work. Because some owners mention noisy tires and visibility challenges with the side mirror, it also makes sense to evaluate road noise and sightlines during your test drive.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base car comes with the same 4-cylinder engine used in the Malibu, while the 2LT and 2LTZ are the trims that bring the satisfying V6. The interior aims for an upscale look, but the execution is busy, and the more expensive trims are the ones that better justify the Impala’s premium feel.
• Powertrain: The available 3.6-liter V6 makes 305 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque, and the 6-speed automatic is the only transmission. The car is quick for a mainstream full-size sedan and is described as easy and predictable to drive.
• Safety package: The Advanced Safety Package includes a blind-spot monitoring system, a lane-departure warning system, a rear cross-traffic alert system, and a forward-collision warning system. The most expensive 2LTZ can also be paired with optional adaptive cruise control and front automatic braking.
• Infotainment: MyLink infotainment works with OnStar services, supports Pandora Internet radio, and includes text-message alerts. The car also has OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi and three USB ports.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA says to expect 18 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, and the test car averaged 21.7 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2015 Chevrolet Impala trim should I buy?

The 2015 Chevrolet Impala is offered in 3 trim levels: LS, 2LT, 2LTZ.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest purchase price and are comfortable giving up the V6. It is the trim to skip if you want the stronger engine and a more satisfying overall driving experience.
• 2LT: This is the best-value choice because it unlocks the V6 without jumping all the way to the top trim. If you want the Impala’s core strengths — smooth power, comfort, and a more upscale feel — this is the trim to target first.
• 2LTZ: Choose this if you want the most fully equipped version and are willing to pay for it. It is also the trim tied to the optional adaptive cruise control and front automatic braking, so it is the one to consider if you want the most advanced safety setup.

The safety package is available on other versions of the Impala, but the most expensive 2LTZ is the trim tied to the optional adaptive cruise control and front automatic braking.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2015 Chevrolet Impala?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 24.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 560 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.63% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 51.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $10,530, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2015 Chevrolet Impala's resale value?

The current average of $10,723 sits slightly below last year's $11,484.

That decline suggests the market has softened, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. The year-round low and high also show that pricing has stayed fairly contained, so condition and equipment matter a lot when it comes time to sell.

If you buy well and keep the car in strong shape, you should be able to protect more of its value than a neglected example would. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2015 Chevrolet Impala safe?

The 2015 Chevrolet Impala earns five-star ratings from NHTSA and a Good rating in the moderate overlap frontal impact and side impact tests from IIHS.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

The Impala includes 10 airbags and OnStar Automatic Crash Response, which can contact advisors and send help after a deployment if you have an active subscription. The available Advanced Safety Package adds a blind-spot monitoring system, a lane-departure warning system, a rear cross-traffic alert system, and a forward-collision warning system.

One caveat is that the IIHS did not test the car in every assessment, so there is no overall IIHS rating. The expert review also notes that the forward-collision warning can be too sensitive and loud, while the blind-spot monitoring can be too quiet and difficult to detect.

Should I buy a 2015 Chevrolet Impala or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2015 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2015 if:

• 24.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 51.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.63% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It offers a calm, predictable driving experience with strong freeway passing power.

Consider the 2014 if:

• At $9,942, the 2014 costs less than the current year's $10,723 average.
• It stands out for styling and an especially attractive large-sedan look.

The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced choice, the 2015 is the stronger pick because it combines a lower current price trend, strong owner satisfaction, and a well-rounded full-size-sedan experience. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2014 is worth a look, especially if styling matters most and you can live with its older tech and feature set.
