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.

Purchased this minivan 2.5 yaers ago. Very reliable, did 30K miles in 2.5 years without repairs, just regular maintenance. Great minivan if comfort is NOT your first consideration. Great price for an excellent minivan. Extremely happy I bought it and not the foreign makes.

THIS IS MY SECOND LUMINA VAN AND WE HAVE LOVED THEM. ON THIS LAST ONE WE HAD TO REBUILD THE ENGINE AT 115,000 BUT IT ONLY COST $1500. WITH GOOD ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AND REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND TUNE UPS THESE CARS LAST A LONG TIME. UNFORTUNATLEY THEY DO NOT MAKE THEM ANY MORE AND I HAVE TO MOVE ON TO A NEW VAN.
