  Nice all Around car ! - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Randy C - August 7 - 8:13 pm

  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.

  By Chris - July 9 - 9:46 pm

  I am in sales and have never owned a car a dependable as the Lumina. This is my second Lumina. As of this writting it has just over 250,000 miles and I have not even changed a hose under the hood. Just keep that oil changed every 4000 miles.

  The Best Car of My Life - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Lumina Lover - March 2 - 4:24 pm

  The most comfortable, reliable car I have ever had. It was totaled in a car accident when somebody ran a red light and slammed into me. Otherwise I would still have my baby...It was big, smooth, powerful (!!!) AND fuel efficient. All pros and no cons!

  Boring but dependable - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By leroy - January 13 - 9:37 pm

  This car isnt hot or racy. Its not a luxury car but it cleans up well and just keeps on running. Now that may not seem like a lot to some folks but if youre tired of trips back to the dealership then this is your kind of vehicle. Ive owned a Lumina for four years and have nothing bad to say about it. My next car will be a little more appealing to the eye but I just hope it can come close to the 99 Lumina as far as reliability.

  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.

  first lumina - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By jes_ducky - October 6 - 2:00 am

  This is my first lumina, and sence no longer made my last (to bad). While I have had to put $800.00 in servicing this vehicle during my first month of owning it, it was due to the previous owner not taking care of the car. The servicing required was normal maintenance..breaks,tires,oil change,ect...surprising though is this car ran perfect even with all the neglect!! It has 85000 miles and I exspect atleast another 100000 with only normal maintance. Good job Chevy!

  prepare to repair - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By DAVE ID - July 10 - 2:00 am

  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 havent even finished paying it off and I will have to junk it because I cant 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 wont 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!!!

  Overall Good Car - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By MrEddie - March 27 - 2:00 am

  The Lumina has served its purpose for me. AT 177K miles, Im about to sell it. Its been a reliable car with very few problems. For a 6-cylinder, the gas mileage is not bad. Ive gotten my moneys worth here, and am only on the second set of tires with tread left. (Mostly highway miles though). Manifold leak seems to be a common problem however.

  Good Family Car - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By mma786 - November 9 - 2:00 am

  Our Lumina has taken care of our families transportation need thorugh thick and thin for the past five years. The car has given us few problems considering the abuse we put it through. The car seats six plus the low end torque really gets you moving. When ever the weather is bad our family prefers the Lumina, because it "just feels more secure."
