I've owned a lumina euro for about 1 year now, when I got it it needed a lot of work, but I fixed it up just th same. It needed new cv's ball joint, tie rods brakes all around (including rear calipers) new battery and alt. I'd say the biggest things to watch out for would have to be the computer chip behind the coils, it went on mine and took me forever to figure that it was the problem. and lastly, but must importantly, the thing that killed her was when the sub frame rusted off from the body resulting in no steering and the frame on the ground. WHEN BUYING AN OLD LUMINA MAKE SURE TO CHECK FOR THE SUB-FRAME RUST!
