why luminas suck

[[ZNP]maccypoo]

does anyone else have a problem with these cars? All they are are crappy junkers that cheap oily teens try to (and fail to) pimp out

[cadgear]

Not all of them are, no. Most of them though. The rest are actually very nice cars that get you from point A to B within a reasonable amount of time.

Then again, cheap oily teens will pimp anything out, given the chance. I've seen some downright ugly things that people are trying to rice out. And it makes me laugh.

Why do you think luminas suck? List some reasons for your argument other than greasy teens pimping them because teens pimp whatever they can get thier hands on. My 91 has well over 250,000 miles on it and runs stronger than most new cars on the road.

For my 96 lumina, this car has serious electrical problems:

lock cylinder failed
turn signal switch failed
cruise control switch failed
head light switched failed
switch for door lock failed
alternator failed
radio failed

The intake manifold blew spilling ooz on my cam sensor wires and burning them. Crank seal blew. Front seat broke.

Everything on this car is failing, this car is sh*t! My crappy little old mazda never did any of this.

Have you ever herd that song by Adam Sandler "Piece of sh*t car" ???
Get it it describe most Lumina's

133K on my '98 and the only repair was when i replaced the intake gaskets myself 2-3 months ago. other than that, those darn visor clips keep falling out.

oh and my driver door lock switch broke when my car alarm was trying to lock the door while i was trying to open it... had to replace the switch... plastic piece broke on it

[tblake]

Oh, my god, My (insert name of switch here) switch failed..., hey, I own a 2001 Chevrolet lumina, and just let me say that 1998 probe GT I raced didnt stand a chance aginst my 3.1. You complain about switches failing, but, hey, the car gets you from point A to point B, something you couldnt expect form a dang dodge. If you want to bad mouth my car some more, just keep ripping on it, i dont care, best car I ever had. You only have had bad luck because you didnt take car of it. If it was a dodge, it would only have about 120,000 miles, and would be going on its 3rd tranny, so if you dont like luminas, don't drive them, and dont waste your time insulting them.

[kevinb70]

my post was a compliment for luminas... that which i listed is so very little for 6 years and 130k. i am totally impressed and love my lumina.

[tblake]

I know, I was directing that post to the complainers. Thanks for loveing such a great car.

Hey, I kinda like my Lumina. It's got 166,000 mi. on it and has not had any major work done since new. After changing the air filter and puting in synthetic I get just over 30mpg on the highway with A/C. Only complaints are: the overhead cloth sags and glue won't hold it back up and, the fans are on a jury rigged switch cuz they never turn on. Its either the computer or something to do with the previous owner and the clipped wires underneith the computer. Anyway, I really liked my '02 Accord, but don't knock the Luminas.

You guys get too attached to your cars My wife loves our Lumina (aka the Jellomobile), and has named it Elvis. Very apt, somehow.

[sirdarksol]

While I am not overly attached to any car, I have had quite a bit of success with my Lumina.
It's 1990 (I believe it's the first year model, so they hadn't even got to work on any of the bugs that would show up) It's been driven well over 250,000 miles. While it has needed a good number of repairs, it's been going strong. It's still a good deal quieter than many newer cars. Doesn't burn oil. Got good gas mileage for being such a huge thing. I've run into a couple of problems recently, but I'm still amazed it's survived this long.

Its A Chevy, Its quality.

[chaddyp]

I'm approaching 200 K with my '91! It's my first and only car I've ever owned (driving it for 9 years, been in my family since new). We've had some past troubles with the tranny, but never needed replacement. Other than that it's still one kick A$$ machine. Take care of a Chevy and it'll run forever!

there you said it partner
