You might be able to get some good deals on the Impala. The only problem is that the car is outdated compared to the competition. It's not a terrible car, just is lagging behind in a competitive market.
The new Chargers that will be coming out are a drastic improvement compared to the outgoing model, interior materials and build quality is now on par, if not better, than most of the cars it competes with. Plus it's getting the new Pentastar V-6 that was just named to WARD'S 10 Best Engines of 2010.
You might want to take a look at a Ford Fusion, it was good enough to win MotorTrend's car of the year last year. It has SYNC, which I've heard is fantastic and easy to use, build quality is good, and it's pretty practical.
If you're looking used, the 07- and up Camry's and Accords hold their value really well so they might be a bit out of your price range, but you cannot go wrong with them.
As much as I dislike them, take a look at a few Subaru's. The wagons/hatchbacks have a good amount of trunk space. The interiors are nothing to write home about, but they are simple, easy to use, and practical. Plus, you will get one of the best AWD systems in the automotive industry.
Now if you're looking at the low $20k price range take a look at the Suzuki Kizashi. It has recieved excellent reviews amongst auto journalists. MotorTrend just drove one from Japan to LA across some nasty terrain and it held up really well. The engineering is very good with the Kizashi, and you can have them with a manual, and/or AWD. It's a pretty sporty car too from what I've heard, although the four-cylinder doesn't put out a ton of power.
If you have any questions or anything, PM me.
Well, today my uncle, my dad, and myself went to the Auto Auction (my uncle is a car dealer) and we bought an 06 Fusion, got it on a song, $4700, but my uncle has a 2007 Impala LT Limited with the special edition 3.9L Engine (equiped with cold air intake, and a few other mods), Premium sound, Leather, well basically loaded with every option. He said if I give him 2500 + the fusion I bought I can have it. I dont like the color is all, its that weird Chevy bronze, everything else is amazing on it, 24,000 Miles on the car, it's like brand fucking new. So, for now I have an 06 fusion, but I don't much like it to be honest. Rides ok, has a lot of low end power, but we're thinkin about running it through the sale again next week, because we know we can get about 5400 back outa it, and that would take a chunk out of the 2500 he's asking, in which case, I'd upgrade to the Impala. Plus the Fusion is black, and shows every bit of dirt on the fucking thing. I prefer metallic grey, or dark red in my cars.
So right now I've got a month to make about 1000 bucks, or just kinda drive the Fusion until I find a buyer for it.
