Used 1995 Chevrolet Lumina Minivan Consumer Reviews
A few repairs/runs forever
Its had its share of repairs, but isn't at all bad for a car with 224,000 miles on it that still running great! Awesome power and the 3.8 liter motor has a cool little snarl when you get on it. By 30,000 miles these vans all had had the same problems; alternator (finally had to go with the bigger one after four replacements), a/c compressor (sensor leaked and also failed), tires (belts separated). Then it had few repairs for the next 100,000 miles or so. Were thinking of trading it in while its still running well, but might just keep it another year.
Aint so bad...
I love this van although I still really need a sports car. It doesn't look bad, will never rust out and get nearly 30 mpg on the highway at 70 mph. (3800 V6). Front windshield wipers were a problem at 60,000 miles stopped intermitantly... replaced the motor and all is fine... this is a very common problem with these vans. I expect to replace the wiper motor agian as I am at 105,000 miles. Cooling system was also trouble... got rid of the "pink stuff" replaced radiator, waterpump and a head gasket at 65,000 and not a problem since. If you have trouble just fix them this is a solid package.
takes a licking keeps on ticking
had a dealer ask me for this vehicle the other day. 151,689 couple of brake jobs, couple of altenators, couple of blower motors, couple of washer pumps and a wiper motor. in over a hundred thousand miles. I don't want to give it up. here's to another 100,000.
Great mini-van!
Very good in town and even better on the highway. Over 120,000 miles on van and have no problems. Great power and towing capacity.
Can't Be Beat
Family Fun Van. Take Care of it & it will take care of you. Whatever the weather might be you can always feel safe in this front wheel drive vehicle. The battery is in an awkard position for giving one a jump start but other than that you can't say enough good of this van.
