I love this car however, white leather interior, just starting to show rust..
Oh yea, AC has not worked in a few years, I just recharge it myself with one of those quick and dirty kits from the Autoparts store..It last about a month
Best of all
ITS PAID FOR!

Hey Nick, you use those Fuel Injector Cleaners? I found they make the o rings leak. I hate that stuff!! Not sure what to say or how to clear up the rust on them seats,but maybe you should invest in some car covers!! My seats are cloth,silverishblue,and my car is white. All white.(but what car in Las Vegas isnt white,,,lol)But I remember why I drove Chevy's in high school and college now. They are the best vehicles made!!! I love my LUMINA
Ohyeah,,,Whats a pvc hose,and where is it located???

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

126K on mine. No major problems *knock on wood*.

Needs a tuneup and should be as good as new after. Don't think a first time car owner could find a better used car for the money ($2000).

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

I Have 92' Z34 Still running strong, after taking all the money out of my pockets.
She has mmm sitting in my room not knowing about 240 000. But thats just what the thing says my engine is probably around 75 000 same with the transmission.
As for everything else i've fixed it should'nt have anymore breakdowns for a while... hopefully... the only thing that is wrong with her is she needs a new knock sensor.


P.s- oh ya and she's going for a fresh paint right away

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

Just turned 161K. Rear struts, a turn signal switch, bearings in alternator, and routine maintenance items like filters, wires, brakes, plugs, wipers, tires, etc. I also had to replace the lamps in the radio about a year ago.
