  I was surprised...I love my Lumina - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By amcelr2 - February 20 - 4:36 pm

  I brought my Lumina 2 years ago...It was already 18 years old but it only had 90,000 miles on it. It was a 1 owner but it had been sitting for about 2 years. I wasnt crazy about it when I went and looked at it but once I drove it I was really impressed and I got a really good deal. I have had no problems at all besides brakes and I have put 55,000 miles on it. It is very well made and fun to drive. It holds the road and has all the power I need and then some. It is very reliable, I know I can hop right in it and take it anywhere I need to go and it looks really nice cleaned up. Even though it is now 20 years old, it is one of the best vehicles I have ever brought! Very well made...

  The Alumina Foil - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By John - July 11 - 2:44 pm

  This car has over 278,000 and may make it to 300,000 it has been through 2 sons learning to drive, and they are not easy on vehicles. It is still running strong, only have had to do minor work, Wonder if Chevy would like it back for a study, They did good on this 3.1 FI engine. Only parts replace fuel pump, 250,000, radiator and 275,000. Keep the oil changed, Tran fluid changed, it goes and goes. If GM could repeat this with all their cars, Bankruptcy would never be in their history.

  Old "Mina" - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Mol - March 20 - 2:03 pm

  For what this car lacks in the looks department it more than makes up for in the reliability department! It literally doesnt matter what you do to it, this car refuses to quit running- and Ive done a LOT to it... It totes my dogs around, its been hit by a deer... its been left in the woods with the windows down in the rain (by the previous owner...). At 147,000 miles the rides now a little dicey sometimes, but that can be expected with any geriatric car!

  Sweet Magpie the Miracle Car - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Slanball - June 13 - 7:54 pm

  I bought my Lumina for 800 and it had 150k miles on it. My intention was just to drive it into the ground and buy a better car. But, I have yet had the opportunity to junk this magical car. Ive put about 35k miles on it and have had to do $0 worth of work to it. Sure it leaks oil, has terrible shocks that I wont replace, and looks bad, but this car has literally saved me thousands of dollars that I didnt have.

  Little Red - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By kj2711 - July 23 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car in 96 I believe. It had 190,000 miles on it. Just turned 244,800+ miles this week and still going just not as strong as she used to. Gets about 19-20 MPG around town and 27-29 MPG on the highway. No major problems until about 2 years ago but everything that had to be replaced since then was just age. Within the last 2-3 years, Ive replaced the heater core, fuel pump, radiator, rack & pinion, power steering pump and water pump. Getting ready to sell it because Im ready for something newer with lower miles. Still dependable transportation for daily use around town.

  Big Blue - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By steve malroy - April 4 - 2:00 am

  I have enjoyed my 1990 Lumina from the start. It always starts and runs like a champ. It gets me to where I need to go with a little sportiness and responsive, powerful 3.1. Now with 124,600, its not as good as it was new, but still will put you into your seat when you want to get up and go.

  Its a reliable car! But.... - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By My Lumina - March 26 - 2:00 am

  My lumina is not in the best shape... when I bought it everything was great... however I never really took care of it. The 3.1L engine is very easy to fix. I got into a car accident, and totaled the other car, my Lumina started up, and drove away. I aslo had an experience with water, the water was all the way up to the bottom of the doors, and engine was partly submerged, it started JUST GREAT!!!! And ran awesome! However I have a transmission leak, and have heard that it is pretty common for my model Lumina.

  My First car - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By enb74 - March 17 - 2:00 am

  The Lumina was the first car I owned. I purchased it in 97 w125K Miles We drove this car everywhere. From NY to Canada to the South you name it. Great car great performance. Brakes wear is a trend of Lumina but not a big deal. Gas Mileage is decent for a used car. We sadly retire the Car at 276K Miles !! Original engine and trany. GM did a good job with this car and I will forever remember that.

  Good, reliable car - 1990 Chevrolet Lumina
  By ads93 - January 11 - 2:00 am

  Bought the car used in 95 with 63K miles. Had a new 3.1L engine put in due to factory recall that same year. Only routine maintenance was needed. The life of the brakes may have been the only negative, however it wasnt too bad. Got me through college and the first 6 years after graduation.
