How much does the Chevrolet Impala cost in today's market?

Used Chevrolet Impala prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Chevrolet Impala's current nationwide average price is $9,765, and its year-round low is $9,750.46. That puts the model's pricing in a relatively tight band at the low end of its range. Recently, prices have come down for the 2018, 2019, and 2020 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Chevrolet Impala a good car?

Yes — the Chevrolet Impala is a strong used-car pick if you want a roomy, comfortable full-size sedan with broad owner appeal. The all-generations owner rating is 4.49/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Impala for its spacious cabin, smooth ride, and comfortable long-distance character. They also frequently highlight its value, easy-to-live-with nature, and strong overall performance. Expert reviews reinforce that appeal by emphasizing the Impala's roomy packaging, straightforward controls, and polished road manners.

Expert reviews rate the 2014 and 2015 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs in the newer expert-reviewed years center on the base four-cylinder's limited punch, the fact that many driver aids were optional, and the way some advanced safety features were reserved for higher trims or extra packages. Even so, the Impala's combination of space, comfort, and value keeps it compelling for used buyers.

20.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Should I buy a used Chevrolet Impala now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2019 model is at −10.69% versus a year ago, and the 2018 model is at −4.62%.
• Deal availability: The 2019 model has 24% good and great deals, and the 2018 model has 23.9%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2018 model has the most listings at a current average price of $12,941. The Chevrolet Impala offers a roomy cabin, a comfortable ride, and a big-trunk, easy-to-live-with full-size-sedan feel.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: In the modern Impala, the most powerful engine is a 3.6-liter V6 cranking out 305 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque. The EPA says to expect between 18 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, depending on vehicle configuration.
• Tech: Thanks to its OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi connection, roomy interior, and 3-prong electrical outlet, this car serves as the perfect mobile office. The Impala’s MyLink system also supports Pandora Internet radio and has a Text Messaging Alert system that reads text messages aloud over the car’s stereo system and allows the driver to reply with a pre-set message.
• Safety: Other versions of the Impala are available with a reasonably priced Advanced Safety Package, which costs just $890. It includes a blind-spot monitoring system, a lane-departure warning system, a rear cross-traffic alert system, and a forward-collision warning system.
• Starting price: Get an Impala LS, and you’ll spend as little as $27,885.

If you're buying used today, the 2018 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2021 inventory to mature.
