  Unexpected repairs - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Trace - February 6 - 8:29 pm

  We purchased the LTZ model. And within one week the left from tie rod assembly had to be replaced. Within one year the water a piece of the cooling system required replacing. With six years the radiator required replacing. A manufacturer recall again the cooling system. Ten years complete over- haul of the cooling system. Within 12 years right front tie-rod required replacement. The actual miles when purchased was 78,009. As of 2021 repair costs exceeded the purchase price of the car. True it has less than the annual standard yearly mileage 138.090. Most if not all repairs were above and standard vehicle maintenance. Buyer beware.

  Nothing but trouble - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By gmck25004x4 - April 6 - 2:18 am

  I bought my wife this car because it had the 3.8 and it was so beautiful. I hate Luminas and I didnt consider this a Lumina. It looked different with the package on it...however...it smelled like a Lumina, acted like a Lumina, and it was in the shop once a week like a Lumina. Interior is very uncomfortable. Hard for a real man to back into the cockpit without hitting his head and his butt. Seat is too low to the floor. Knees and legs groaned to get out after 200 miles. Gas mileage in town is 21 and on the highway is 27.7. It still got 21 on 30 mile trips. Had to go on 200 mile trips to get 27.7 Go figure... Intake gaskets and plenums are easy to go out on this. If you smell antifreez

  Great for a to b - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Colts XLIII Champs - December 11 - 1:42 am

  I inhearited my Lumina from my mom. She had the car since 02. Really I have seen no mechanical problems. Im a delivery driver in college and the gas mileage will suprise you. Its not flashy but it will get you from a to b pretty well. One thing I do have a problem with is there is only one cupholder. All in all if given the chance I think I might get another one

  Typical ami-car from Canada - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By euro - April 7 - 4:18 pm

  Good performance, mileage, reliability, reasonably comfortable and great trunk space (with a lousy hinge system). After I reglued all Canadian-installed door weather stipping with silicon (it kept pulling off when the doors opened...) I havent found much to complain about. Maybe its too long in the nose, but thats minor.

  Its a toss up - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By sissiegail - September 18 - 1:40 am

  I inherited this car from my mom after I wrecked mine. The compressor and condensor went out after only two years of ownership. Was told it would be cheaper to replace the car than fix it. The fuel guage stopped working after about two years. The ash tray broke off, two of the air vents are broken, both cup holders are broken, the passenger visor is broken and after more than an hour or two the seats become extremely uncomfortable. However, the car has almost 140,000 miles on it and no major mechanical work has had to be done. I would suggest that you weigh whats important to you in a car before you buy one of these.
