Review
I brought my Lumina 2 years ago...It was already 18 years old but it only had 90,000 miles on it. It was a 1 owner but it had been sitting for about 2 years. I wasn't crazy about it when I went and looked at it but once I drove it I was really impressed and I got a really good deal. I have had no problems at all besides brakes and I have put 55,000 miles on it. It is very well made and fun to drive. It holds the road and has all the power I need and then some. It is very reliable, I know I can hop right in it and take it anywhere I need to go and it looks really nice cleaned up. Even though it is now 20 years old, it is one of the best vehicles I have ever brought! Very well made...

This car has over 278,000 and may make it to 300,000 it has been through 2 sons learning to drive, and they are not easy on vehicles. It is still running strong, only have had to do minor work, Wonder if Chevy would like it back for a study, They did good on this 3.1 FI engine. Only parts replace fuel pump, 250,000, radiator and 275,000. Keep the oil changed, Tran fluid changed, it goes and goes. If GM could repeat this with all their cars, Bankruptcy would never be in their history.

For what this car lacks in the looks department it more than makes up for in the reliability department! It literally doesn't matter what you do to it, this car refuses to quit running- and I've done a LOT to it... It totes my dogs around, it's been hit by a deer... it's been left in the woods with the windows down in the rain (by the previous owner...). At 147,000 miles the ride's now a little dicey sometimes, but that can be expected with any geriatric car!

I bought my Lumina for 800 and it had 150k miles on it. My intention was just to drive it into the ground and buy a better car. But, I have yet had the opportunity to junk this magical car. I've put about 35k miles on it and have had to do $0 worth of work to it. Sure it leaks oil, has terrible shocks that I wont replace, and looks bad, but this car has literally saved me thousands of dollars that I didn't have.

I bought this car in 96 I believe. It
had 190,000 miles on it. Just turned
244,800+ miles this week and still
going just not as strong as she used
to. Gets about 19-20 MPG around town
and 27-29 MPG on the highway. No
major problems until about 2 years ago
but everything that had to be replaced
since then was just age. Within the
last 2-3 years, I've replaced the
heater core, fuel pump, radiator, rack
& pinion, power steering pump and
water pump. Getting ready to sell it
because I'm ready for something newer
with lower miles. Still dependable
transportation for daily use around
town.

I have enjoyed my 1990 Lumina from the
start. It always starts and runs like
a champ. It gets me to where I need to
go with a little sportiness and
responsive, powerful 3.1. Now with
124,600, its not as good as it was new,
but still will put you into your seat
when you want to get up and go.

My lumina is not in the best shape...
when I bought it everything was
great... however I never really took
care of it. The 3.1L engine is very
easy to fix. I got into a car accident,
and totaled the other car, my Lumina
started up, and drove away. I aslo had
an experience with water, the water was
all the way up to the bottom of the
doors, and engine was partly submerged,
it started JUST GREAT!!!! And ran
awesome! However I have a transmission
leak, and have heard that it is pretty
common for my model Lumina.

The Lumina was the first car I owned.
I purchased it in 97 w125K Miles
We drove this car everywhere. From NY
to Canada to the South you name it.
Great car great performance. Brakes
wear is a trend of Lumina but not a
big deal. Gas Mileage is decent for a
used car. We sadly retire the Car at
276K Miles !! Original engine and
trany.
GM did a good job with this car and I
will forever remember that.

Bought the car used in '95 with 63K
miles. Had a new 3.1L engine put in
due to factory recall that same year.
Only routine maintenance was needed.
The life of the brakes may have been
the only negative, however it wasn't
too bad. Got me through college and
the first 6 years after graduation.
