How Many Miles on Your Lumina

i have a 1990 lumina euro 3.1 with 40,000kms

95 3.1 with 151K

91 Euro 3.1 with almost 300,000 km on it. I've driven it for 6 years and haven't spent much money on it. Just in the last year it has cost me more, fuel pump, power steering pump, gas tank, starter...all seem to go at once, but she still runs like a charm...I will miss her when she's gone....:wink:

I just rolled 120k on my '97 Lumina
3.1

My 1990 Lumina is still rolling stong with 135,500 miles on it. Still a great car.

'93 with 183,XXX no major probs. yet. they are solid cars

1992 Lumina Z34 230k

91 3.1 euro ( passenger doors dont open it was sideswiped) i paid 300 for the can and runs good. had 217k when i got it and its about 218500 now. i was haveing some problems with it the idiot lite came on and i was given the runaround and then someone told me code 43 ( electronic spark controle) well a code 43 isnt a esc its the knock sensor. so i picked up a few and problem solved. :grinyes:

i have a somewhat of a stupid question. What size is the fuel tank? i have looked throught he book and it dosnt say.:banghead:

My 96 Chevy Lumina LS has 300,000 on her she has had used engine,used tranny ,lower ball joint,2 alternators,front wheel bareings....and who knows what else:banghead: but she runs great has a killers system in her so i love her:smokin: and i'll keep her hell at least shes mine:grinyes:

Have a '97 Lumina LS with 135,000 miles on it, and she still runs like a champ. Out of the three cars I have had since I started driving almost 10 years ago, this one is my favorite. I have big plans for her, and will put everything I do on cardomain.com. :grinyes:

1992 Chevy Lumina, 215,000k miles! Just recently started having overheating problems, and now having to replace the radiator. This is the first major thing I've done to this car in around 5 years. Wow!

1991 Lumina two-door, 3.1 V6. 160,000 mi. The tranny was replaced around 100,000. The torque converter blew out. Engine has always been great.

Anyone know of a quiet muffler for this thing? A shop put a cheapskate muffler on it that sounds like a tin can hot rod.

Are Arvin-Meritor mufflers good? Thanks.

I picked up my z34 91 Lumina a couple years ago, it had a blown head gasket, I ran some bars transmission leak in it, the silver powder.. Sealed me right up, I ran the silver powder at about 150K miles. I now have 189K miles on it. Only Major things I have done to it where radator leaks and regular matenence. Sealed the Radator with egg whites, witch workes real well actually. Recently did a Transmision filter change, and sence then my lumina has been making a weird humming noise, but it hasent blown yet.

l actuly just picked up a new 1991 Euro 4door 3.4 V6 4speedauto 320miles "currently" had 315mils when l picked it up "3weeks ago" LOL
nothing to bitch about but maybe the only 400miels to a tank is makign me mad insted of my old lumian wtch got around 600

Our 1993 Chevy Lumina with the 3.1 L engine has over 210,000 miles on it. I thought it more dependable on a recent vacation trip to Nebraska than our 1993 Buick Park Avenue. I replaced the ball joints and the drivers side tie rod end, and my daughter and I aligned it to 3/8" toe in. Drove beautifully. Checked the mileage and we were getting between 34.4 and 34.6 MPG. I run Valvoline 10-30 Synthetic oil in it. Only problem we had the whole trip was a leak in the heater hose just under the intake at the air. Got another 4" piece of heater hose, replaced it with the existing clamps, and we were off again. Cost of repair.. nada! My friend in Oshkosh, NE had a piece of 3/4" heater hose in his quanset. Drives and stears wonderful!! New tires on it and only thing is some rust and some of the interior lights? may not be working.

Wouldn't sell it for $3000.00 as I conside it a great car for gas mileage and well built .. will get me there and back! :thumbsup:

1997 Lumina LS: 200,000 original miles
-Only replaced the alternator and water pump

-Car runs like a champ

I have a 1990 Lumina Euro 3.1 2 door which I have owned since new. It has 261,000 miles. Original Powertrain. 3rd computer, 3rd alternator 4th battery.
My problem. BAD Ventilation air flow, and I have disassembled everything. I posted to a thread on this repeatedly and no one answered. Any Ideas?

That's awesome! Original engine and tranny??? Can you describe the problem in more detail? Or post a link to the thread?

113k miles on my 1999 Lumina 3.8L engine. I've only put like 1000 of those miles on.

Are you tryin to say that you had one with 444 thousand miles on it??? Now you have one with 320 thousand? If so that is so cool. You should post a picture of your odometer. It's not often you see a vehicle, let alone a passenger sedan with that many!

ya man l had a 91 4door base cost me 1grand Road legal had 310,xxxmiles then 1year later 444,xxxmiles and l crashed it..not every day a tie rod breaks at 120 and compleatly tears one side out and makes you spin outa controll then into a ditch then finaly stopping into a hydro pole at 40ish

l forgot to add l do have pics, But l'm not allowed to Post Attachments

91 Lumina 242,000

'99 Lumina LTZ 3.8L. 195,000. Runs great. Gets down and moves with lots of power. I pull two snowmobiles in the winter and a fiberglass boat in the summer. Sometimes (most the time) difficult to pull boat out of water because of the front wheel drive. Had to replace valve in tranny at 90,000 because it hopped and jumped when it shifted. It is starting to come back. A/C clutch started chattering and was too lazy to fix and to cheap to pay someone so now I suffer in the heat. Had to replace window control and lock control on drivers door likely do to rolling down window with snow and water on windshied. Replaced ball joints, tie rods, and rear struts. Bought for $3,000 at 80,000 miles.

Interesting that I found out tonight that the center brake light works but the tail light brake lights do not. Fuses are fine and so are bulbs. Richie Straff above stated the same thing and says it is multi-function switch.

Have to remove steel bars under hood to get at fuses, battery, and A/C coupling. WTF? Why 3 fuse blocks? 1 inside passenger door and 1 under each steel bar under the hood. Cannot even open fuse block becuase of the damn bars.

'99 Lumina LTZ 3.8L. 195,000. Runs great. Gets down and moves with lots of power. Wow. I'm impressed. I hope my '99 LTZ will last that long. Just bought it a month ago with 64XXX miles. I'll be swapping back and forth between it and my '93 lumina (186K).

92 Lumina euro
2 door
165,000km
runs great. I just put a cold air intake on it, and i baught some xeon head light,(brite baby blue).

I painted the stock mags, now they are shinny gun metal black.
and i slaped a sound system in it,
ALPINE cd player, and speaker.
2 12INCH premier sub woofers.

My car is going to fall apart, :( lol 800rms BOOM!

1998 with 100K. Initial problems with Brakes where all lights would dim when braking, fixed by dealer under warranty. Alternator replaced with new Durlast Gold 3 yrs ago. Serpentine replaced due to cracks. Turn signal switch starting to go bad. Seat springs are getting worn. A/C went out and replaced compressor and drier unit. Oil leaks from top of engine from under throttle body, small leak but annoying. Suspension is getting soft and can feel it in turns and bumpy roads.

No other repairs and car starts every day.

Need to replace original hoses. Did flush coolant at 90K.

Power windows, power seats and radio work fine. No rain water leaks from body, really thankful for this.

I just got this 92 Lumina 3.1 and guess what, only 90,000 miles on it, well maintained, great shape and no accidents...so far quite happy with it

Just turned 211,000 today on my 96 3.1. drive it around 150 miles a day for work. If past experiance counts I expect around anothe 15000 or so.

my 93 3.1L is just over 251,789

just rolled over 350,044miles, and my head gaskit blew out just now ohwell FUCK

135500 on the 90, still going strong after a near call with the transmission (Torque converter, required drop to get moving wihtout stall) A/C still blows cold, however the selenoid recently got stuck on FULL HOT!!!!:banghead: Suspension is very soft, hit the gas on an oily-at-all road and you'll spin the tires!

Hi I have a 99 lumina with a 3.1 and it has 180,000 miles on it and the only thing that I have done is the regular maintenance to it. It still gets well over 30 miles to the gallon on the highway:grinyes: . She isn't prettiest car but she is paid for and runs just as smooth as the day I drove it off the lot. Yes I bought it brand new!!

I have a 1992 lumina z34 with the 3.4l dohc engine with 262000 miles ,which just recently spun a rod bearing ...Gonna replace it with a 1995 3.4l dohc with 65000 miles....

My 99 w/3.1 has 123K.

I became a Lumina fan with my 96 w/3.1 which I sold 3 years ago with 215K miles. Other than the white paint that was falling off in sheets and the cup holder that the bottom bar broke off of, this car never saw a repair - only routine maintenance. It even still had the OEM exhaust!

i have a $100.00 '93 lumina 3.1 my son gave me that i have been driving for 4 years. 180k. originally a fla. car no rear defrost, that's a problem in the mountains where it is winter 8 mos. out of the year. brakes 2x, struts, harmonic balancer, turning signal switch. best car, cheapest car i have ever owned. solid as a rock, no puddles when i leave.

91 Z34 dohc,237000 kilometers,bought 3 weeks ago,replaced starter,battery,air filter,oil,belt,windsheild,tires,drivers door power window motor,oil drive o-ring,intake gaskets,coolant line at thermostat housing

Watch out for posting in old threads!!!!! NOT COOL!! Have done same myself so know how goofy it feels when brought to att'n.

(96 LS)86,000. I bought it in Feb. 08,,,2weeks ago I replaced the waterpump(the shop did it),now I need front brakes!!! Overall,the car is nice.

We have now 100000 Miles and it Run and run and run... Just need regular repairs like brake pads and discs...

My 1996 Lumina has 103K on it. I have replaced alternator, a cracked Exhaust Manifold (cracked)...Intake gasket (twice), once under warrantee and once last year..(600.00)...
Rear Struts, and I its been skipping at a stop light, I sprayed a can of carb cleaner in PVC hose and put some 93 octane in it along with a couple of cans of Fuel Injector Cleaner, running better now.
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???

Well I hope that 2 cans of fuel injector cleaner won't harm anything....
Ok, its PCV,,,wi$e guy))-

Nick,,,,I'm not a guy,and I do think any kind of fuel cleaner is bad for the car,but that is your choice,and your car. Good Luck Trisha

I got a 1994 lumina euro with only 22,485 miles on it bought it after christmas runs great, only change ac compressor now has weird ac problem T_T

hi i have 248000 miles on my lumina and i am the second owner of this car my uncle bought it new and i bought it back 2001 with 13000 miles on it and he took good care of it when i got it i started using restore with all of my oil changes with vavoline oil for three years and never used any oil or leaked any then i went trying lucas oil instead of restore and have been ever since that motor is as stong as the day i bought it i will drive it until the wheels fall of but i bet the motor and tranny will still be good oh yeah i changed tran fuild also no problems at all

I have a 1991 lumina with 210,000 miles, ive replaced the A/C compressor, exhaust, starter, radiator, lower and upper intake gaskets and also vavle cover gaskets, throttle position sensor, Idle air control vavle sensor, map sensor, all vacuum lines, fuel regulator, fuel pump, fuel filter, both lower ball joints, both inner and outer tie rods, oil pressure sensor all plugs and wires, all brake lines, ignition coil packs and module... im sure glad i know how to work on cars cause otherwise i would of made some shop rich

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).

how do you get a man out of a name Trisha,geeze,thanks!!!
A picture on what profile? I"m not here to advertise myself,I'm just here to learn,and speak about cars. I own a 96Lumina,and I"m not married,and I live in Las Vegas. What else do you wanna know?

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:evillol: 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:smooch:

239,000 and going pretty strong. Only things replaced were suspension, fuel pump, TPS, fuel tank, and normal brakes and stuff. Original engine, trans, altenator. I love my lumina.. is getting rusty though.

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.

my lumina ls just 90,000 yesterday,and still going strong!!!

202,000
