Knowing the car, I actually do like the size of this impala. Even though I do like it, 18k seems pretty high.
Is $18k too much for a 1996 Impala SS?

They did not make many of these cars.
These are true texas legend type @*# ....
Every dudes dream in the hood is to have a 96 triple black SS.
i would not pay that much for one , for that price you could get a new one.
Classic body style though. Chevy bubbles look cold when they are clean with 2s or 4s on em.
and you dont put no damn turbos on a LT1
that joint is 2 smoooooth
All these "It's too old" comments and "You can get a better car for 18" talk. None of that matters. It's like how "Non Sneaker Heads" view us "Sneaker Heads", no one understands why we pay $200 for a pair of shoes, everyone thinks we are crazy because we wait 19 hours in line for a pair of shoes but little do they know how much these sneakers mean to us. You guys don't get it. This Isn't just any 17 year old car, this is a 96' Impala SS. Where I'm from, this car is not just a classic, it is a statement, an achievement and a privilege to own one of these. People will kill to own a 96 SS, especially here in Texas. Here in Houston when we see one these bad boys rolling by, stalk or custom, our necks are broken. OP you need to talk them down to 14 or 15k and drive like a boss. Anyone Hatin on a 96 Impala SS is a clown in my eyes eff what you think

i think for a very select few people, they will appreciate that car...as for the general public, they'll see a chevy and not as much as even think about it twice, but they'd be more likely to notice if you got a used mercedes or beemer. for example, $18k could get you a 2003 m3 or a fully loaded 2006 3 series.
if you want that car, then go for it. you shouldn't be asking anyone else if it's worth it, because only you know if it's worth it to yourself.

your asking 5k over Kbb price. I highly doubt youll get any bites at 18. Try 15.

Depends on the condition...this was a very sought after car and only got more sought after when they stopped producing this body style. So with anything that people want...your going to pay for it. I would expect a $3k-$4k mark up on this car if the mileage is original and accurate all maintenance records available and outside it a 9.5/10... If you want it and have the money to get then buy it...is it pricey...yes...but think about the mark up that you have to pay for shoes on this website and others...are Air Jordans really work $400, $500...$800. Nah I don't think so but we pay it, so it all boils down to what it important to you. 96 Impala SS is a clean $++ whip...

Nt is the biggest hypocrites. Y'all pay hundreds. Thousands for old shoes. Drive broken down old high mileage BMW's and benzes.
If you were trying to get an m3 with 200k miles you get nothin but
Anyways 18 sounds real high. in the bay solid cars with under 100k go for 10. That's a big mark up just for low miles.
If your gonna drive it shop around and get one with a few more miles for half the price.
These are cop cars. So they will hit 300k easy if you take care of them.
I don't know where all the unreliable #*++ comes from.
Pops has a silverado with 200k with no problems.

I'll admit I'm not sure what the 96 impala's are going for right now but last I checked like 7 years ago, they were in the 16-20K range. Not sure right now though. Classic car though
