are 2002 chevy impalas reliable cars ?

[jhu11]

do they break alot and if they do would it be wise to buy one for $2500 and it has 140,000 miles

well that works out to less than 2400 miles per year. - very good!

Depending on how well the vehicle was maintained it cold be a steal of a deal for you.

So in short it really depends on the previos owners responsibility to the cars maintenance, as any car. If you dont take care of it - it will not last long at all!
