Try your local salvage yards, eBay, the classified section of your local paper (might be under the heading "Car parts For Sale", www.car-part.com, or you could check here:http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...lay.php?f=1269 , and you can even leave a "Wanted" post in that forum for the reservoir.

LOL, good luck, i needed one for my 91 2.5 , and most the yards said something like " a 2.5 4 cyl????? never saw one in a Lumina" Last yard said same thing and they had 2 Lumina 2.5 cars sitting there...

I've got one in my garage on a shelf. I saved it when I upgraded my 1990 2.5 to a 1991 3.1 in December. Find out what they're worth and make me an offer. I'll save you a buck or two (it would have to be shipped from Wisconsin). Is your coolant reservoir about 12" wide and located in the front/center of the engine compartment?

Not to try to set your price, but yard i finally got mine from charged me only 10.00 for it.
And i will tell ya, you do need a heat shield around the back and underside of these. I made one from light aluimnum and put a layer of that under hood blanket insulation cut out of another old hood, between tank and the metal.
That is why i neded one, the manifold melted it.
