      If the fella drove it to church only on Sundays, that’s at least 1400 Sundays and should have more than 200 miles, even if the feller skipped a few services.
      Bad thing is those clusters are so easy to change the Odometer. My 96 had an issue with the resistors getting hot and when I called around for a new one, the send the new cluster with as many or little miles as you ask.
      Other issues I have with it, my 95 has 218,630 miles on it and people tell me all the time they think it’s has maybe 60,000.. all in how you care for any vehicle.

    Hard to believe a 1996 Impala that sold and left the dealership lot has less than 200 miles after 27 years, and now has wear marks on the drivers seat. The original owner drove it to church 392 times, that's 7.5 years worth of Sundays. "1/4 mile each way, he drove it all the time." Wants the car to go to a good home so sell it to a flipper. LOL!

    My uncle owned a car dealership in the 70's. I used to accompany him on his wholesale buys for the used car inventory line. He had a few sayings when dealing with sharks like these two "buyers" (not sellers). One was "I'm here to buy inventory not a story". He always had a bottom line price before he went on a buy mission and never moved from his number. I remember one time we walked away from a four car wholesale deal, by the time we got back to his store, the dealer we just came from was calling to tell him he accepts the offer he walked away from. Uncle Jim told him " my time is money, take $1000 off what I left there with and we'll put it on Ice". An hour later two flatbeds rolled through the back gate with the four cars, each with $250 more to work with. I know my uncle would have walked from this "only driven 1/4 mile to church rust bucket.

    I love all Impalas of all years. But my favorite is the 95 or the 96s. My mom and dad always had a 73 impala. They have owned like seven or eight 73 Impalas. I can always remember riding in those old cars. I was embarrassed riding in them as a kid. I remember racing the 73 two door hard top they had. I blew the motor up in it and didn't tell my parents until years later that I blew it up from racing on the interstate going over 120mph.

While I find your barn find/garage find rescues and realize that you can’t build every old muscle car or truck that you rescue-I for one miss seeing you take one of these vehicles and restore or restomod it with the GM touch. Even videos of custom builds you do for customers on their rides that they bring to you would scratch that itch. I realize that GMG has evolved and expanded its subject matter..but I plead with you.. don’t totally abandon the “bread and butter” that put you on the hot rod/car enthusiast map.

      I would look in the trunk too. And everywhere else. I ask more questions about and look harder at low mileage vehicles than higher mileage vehicles. With low mileage, I'd be looking for signs of wear, parts that don't match, colours that don't match. I'd look at the spare, the jack and anything else - are they there, have they been used, are they the right ones? If I see something that doesn't match the story, I'd be asking questions, or just walking away (which is what I think Richard should have done with this one).
