I have a '98 LTZ with a 3.8 Series II engine and 128,000 miles on it. With the exception of brakes and tires and a battery, all I've done is regular maintenance. Come to think on it, I should do a tune-up....I've owned it (second owner) for about five years now and I've never done a tune-up. She's still running strong (knock wood).

Thumbs up Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

Mines a 95 3.1 with 182K. Rebuilt tranny at 170k...locking converter gave out, otherwise normal wear. No oil consumption to speak of, but seems to have a couple of the common probs listed in this forum.

Talking

93 Lumina Euro, torch red, still a hot car with 260K miles, Everything ORIGINAL, I've ran mobil 1 synthetic since 100K. Valvoline Maxlife trans fluid, and still never have had to replace anything under the hood except spark plugs. On the otherhand, the car has been in a handfull of accidents, so every body part has been replaced at least once! Still a strong runner, so I keep fixing her up!

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

I have a 1991 Torch Red Euro 3.1 Sweet car, i gave her a nice cold air intake. Makes her sound deep. i love hitting the high rpms on the freeway hehe.

She has 141k miles. almost up to 142, Engine and trans are orig. shes been a high idling a lil lately, and a small amount of lurch, which it doesnt do it all the time. which is fine as long as its not during a important time lol.

The car was in a accident before i ever had it, some retard backed into it and messed up the rear passenger door and fender. both replaced and all. couldnt tell the difference.

The car leaks Tranny fluid, which i thought maybe it was a loose tranny pan, so i tightend the bolts up a little bit. and i still get drips. The orig owner (my neighbor and like family) said that the Tranny pan gaskets need to be replaced, and that the oil pan gaskets are the same. And im not paying a mechanic $400 to drop my engine to change a $10 part lol.

i also got the dash curling, on the top, and a lil bit of curl on the middle section and my headliner falls pretty bad. There is a nice sound system in her, and i got some HID lights

shes turning into my American heavy chevy heh.

I really want to get a 1993 Black Grey or Torch Red Z34. I love those cars. I test drove one, just like my lumina, But faster, turns better, and O so much nicer. With the dual exhaust, Flows i really want one. i just want to get $13k buy a 93 Z34 5speed, and have that extra 10k for a new Paintjob but orig color code and pinstriping emblems etc. Flows, Interior redone, something besides cloth, NASCAR WHEELS!!!! lol i would so do that if i could here in cali. engine and tranny both rebuilt with warrantys Super charger

now i would be a happy guy if i could have that. dont need the super charger, but i can wish!

I have 140,000 miles and have replaced the EGR valve, the transmission and power steering rack and now the fuel pump needs replacing. I'm beginning to think I have a lemon.

I have 97 Lumina 3.1-LS.... 208,000 miles on it. till now, i have installed the PCV Valve, MAP sensor, new compressor and accumulator, and cleaned the intake and put new gaskets with a K&N filter.

when i have bought this car, i was getting 17 mpg, and after all the parts/cleaning, i am getting 24 mpg with a/c in the city.

glad to have that average. the engine is still perfect so no worries.

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

this is my very first post...

My 97 Lumina (bought used) has 132,000 miles on it and I just put it in the garage today... think it may have a leaking intake gasket

Let's hope it doesn't cost much to fix it...I really love my Lumina. I had a 95 Lumina and it had 110,000 on it when it met it's demise...due to accident...not of my doing. I love my Luminas...people thought I was crazy to buy a used Lumina with all the new vehicles out there but I have to admit...this car rides wonderful, very little repair to them (fingers crossed) has schwoop to it when accelerating...all the things I want!!
