My ex Government Lumina

I bought my Lumina at a government surplus auction, it had 68k/mi and now has 88k/mi. I was very satisfied when I first drove it,and I still am. It still starts with the flick of the key, idles and runs very smooth with smooth shifting and good acceleration. Steering response is very good and radius is average. I like the brake action from the pedal but think the stopping distance is a little on the far side. I normally get 20mpg city/highway and after fueling up and taking a road trip I got an amazing 29mpg despite doing hard accelerations and 80mph most of the way. I did have the intake manifold gasket replaced, which I was told common on these cars, with other normal stuff.

I inherited my 1999 Chevy Lumina from my uncle who passed away in May of 2002. It is a great handling car and very comfortable to drive. I have also found it to be excellent in the snow . This winter has brought it share of snow to New York and the car handles excellent .

If you care at all about reliability this is not the car you want to get. At this time it is 4 and 1/2 years old. I haven't even finished paying it off and I will have to junk it because I can't afford the repair bills. I fix this car almost every month For example in the past 6 months, I have spent $1200 to fix various problems. Just got an estimate today for another $1800. But, I won't fix it anymore and will junk it. Problems have been bad brake (too frequently need to be cleaned, resurfaced), intake manifold gasket, head gaskets, calipers, pressure control solenoid. See MSN autos site too. Those problems described were my problems too. STAY AWAY!!!
Nice all Around car !

My wife and I have had this car for 7+ years. It is the closest thing to being a perfect auto that I have ever owned. Way ahead of the imports! If GM still made them I would buy another.
