Overall it was kind of depressing. I guess I need to resign myself to the fact that my car is a transportation device that will constantly get bombarded by the elements on the highway. Oh well.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use on the rims?
Thanks!
Brad
john cline ii who remembers that F = 32 + 9/5 C
By the way, C = (F - 32) x 5/9
Another solution, but probably not a good one if you drive in winter weather, is to have the clear coat removed and the rims polished. I had this done with the rims of my Corvette and they came out awesome--the result was similar to a chrome finish. The Corvette was never driven in winter, so I wasn't worried about salt going against the uncoated aluminum surface.
Oh.
Nevermind.
Thanks,
Brett.......
It was 80 degrees here in Charleston.
Not trying to make you feel bad or anything.LOL.
My rims are like new, they are currently in the basement of my house! Although I hope I can get my winter tires/rims off this weekend.
The car had 6 miles when we took the test drive. After a trip to Universal studios on Saturday it now has about 230. It seems like a very nice car and my wife is thrilled.
We paid roughly $150 over invoice, got a fair wholesale trade-in on the old ford minivan and choose the preferred financing over the $2002 rebate.
While the salesman at our local dealership was very good, it still took FIVE AND A HALF HOURS to do the deal! Amazing. As much as I love to horse-trade, I HATE sitting around dealerships for hours twiddling my thumbs waiting to finalize the deal we had all agreed on hours before and take delivery of the vehicle.
Oh well. It's done and we're happy. Thanks for everyone's input. I'm looking forward to a lot of good information from this board!
Front bench seats became an option on the Impala LS for 2002.

So now who gets to drive it more? Already fighting over the keys?
I have not heard anything rattling back there, though.
b4z: Nice color! The LS is a nice, good looking car. The wife's definitely "styling".
Teo: For now, the Aurora wiill work for me. (anything to maintain the peace in our happy home) :-)
Oh by the way, I have an extra set of "halo" pleather headrests around if anyone needs them(grey)...
I'm bringing it in on Friday for the service department to check it out. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Otherwise the car had been great and a lot of fun to drive!

If indeed there is a leak coming from the upper manifold intake, you'll notice a strong Coolant smell coming from the engine bay after shutting off the engine. If this is not the case, then it might be just replacing a defective sensor.
My '01 LS is almost 1 year old and ZERO problems to date.

Recently, while waiting for a woman to pull out of a space, so I could pull in, I began to lose patience with her for taking so long. Well, she was becoming even more impatient, as her mini-SUV was not unlocking. After a while, she realized it wasn't her car. Hers was a few more spaces down the row.
That's not too embarrassing.
As for teh 16,923 units sold, that is still 9.4 % drop from previous year (19,372)
FORD MOTOR's Lincoln luxury brand will kill the Blackwood luxury pickup after the 2002 model year, one year earlier than planned, because of slow sales, according to a report in trade publication Automotive News. Just 379 Blackwoods have been sold since it went on sale in November. Lincoln had predicted sales of 11,000 Blackwoods in 2002.
You will not have to contend with them, How long will the Cadillac Version EXT survive? Don
The Blackwood was a fiasco from the beginning.
The EXT on the other hand is much more usable, looks better and has better powertrains, etc over the Blackwood.
Ford intended to sell about 11,000 Blackwoods per year and so far I believe they have sell 379! Ouch!
GM is selling around 900 EXT's per month.....
It's encouraging to hear that consumers are saying no to that monstrosity from Lincoln. There's hope for some semblance of rationality in truck buying!
However, I like the looks of the Cadillac EXT. Must admit it is different and it is free from the plastic cladding body work of its blue collar cousing, the Avalanche. It is unlike anything offered by Japan.
These trucks offer interesting features, but again I would never buy one unless I happen to live at the top of Mt.McKinley and need to haul cargo, people and deal with rough driving conditions day in and day out.
Beauty is a highly subjective thing so I guess when it comes down to it is better agree to disagree, right?

A beauty of a high end roadster for people with very deep pockets.
Is that a fact or conjecture on your behalf? Is there evidence that Impala sales dropped because of drop in fleet sales? Assuming there is a drop in fleet sales (which I'm not denying), it didn't hurt Grand AM and Grand Prix.
FYI, "XLR" is a type of audio connector. It's most often found at the end of a microphone cable, sometines erroneously referred to as a "canon" connector.
Actually, the Impala is quite a car, I've noticed from my research. I am looking into one because my mom is buying a used '01 with 22,000 miles on it in a couple of weeks. I have been reading posts here, and I just wondered if there is anything I didn't see posted that I should check out when I give the car a once-over for her (she lives 130 miles away, and I have yet to see the car).
I know about the ISS and the engine cradle, and that those don't apply to the '01s (or at least that is what I was told by a friend with a May, '99 build 2000 LS).
The car is a maroon base model, with the 3.4 engine. It has the power driver's bench seat with column shifter (it has the lumbar control, which is what sold her on the car). I don't know much about the other items it might have, but based on these things, I have a couple of questions:
How serious is the intake gasket leak, if it applies to the 3.4?
She said the car has a CD changer in the trunk. It looked to me like that is not a GM option--is that true (meaning the former owner installed it)?
Thanks for any information. I was never a fan of GM cars (except the drivetrains), but I'm warming to them because of the Impala.
