1992 Chevrolet Lumina Euro 3.1 Fuel Injected 6 cylinder from North America

Summary:

A great car for every day use

Faults:

The oxygen sensor went out on it and new brakes were recently put on it.

General Comments:

This is a great car. I was very reluctant to buy a used car, but tis was a great choice. Excellent gas mileage (27 miles per gallon). It is reliable and has very low outside noise. It is reasonably fast for such a big car and has decent acceleration.

1992 Chevrolet Lumina 3.1 V6 from North America

Faults:

Brakes need replaced often, however, they are very easy to do, and they are rather in expensive.

Front door handles (both) are currently inoperative.

Driver's window mechanism broke.

Replaced 2 alternators (60,000mi-106,000mi)

Replaced 2 starters (67,000mi - 105,000mi)

Replaced Ignition control unit (I blew the old one up)

New water pump at 70,000mi.

General Comments:

Basically normal wear and tear. I drove my Lumina hard. Very hard. My parents bought me the vehicle, first thing to go was the catalytic converter, so I removed it, and replaced it with a piece of pipe, then added a turbo muffler. It sounds NICE.

The factory stereo is even good.

This car is built like a tank. I recently bought a Pontiac Grand Am GT. I hate to say it, but my lumina (which I have no intentions of giving up,) will easily smoke it.

This is an EXCELLENT car if you have the time and the mechanical ability to do simple maintenance. Parts are in expensive, and the car will NOT let you down if you keep it happy.

I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a reliable, and comfortable means of transportation. Add a little parts to it, and you have a car that will toast most Mustangs, and any Honda on the road.

Not enough information

Totally uninformative.

1992 Chevrolet Lumina Euro 3.1 V6 from North America

Summary:

Overall, great car!

Faults:

Light switch.

Muffler.

Spark plugs.

Spark plug wires.

Running light bulb.

Rear struts replaced at 198,000.

Has surface rust (Live in Michigan where there's a lot of snow)

Exhaust rattles.

EGR valve shot.

The "dog bones" (engine mounts)

General Comments:

Good running and dependable.

The 3.1 is fast when it wants to be.

It burns the tires great on moist pavement, and pretty good on dry.

The car runs like new and it has over 200,000 miles on it.

Nothing major has gone wrong, just the regular maintenance. (Things that would normally go wrong, considering the mileage.)

The car is tough, and it takes a beating.

No cup holders!

Dash is warping from the sunlight.

Has it's ups and downs. There's always something you'll find that you dislike in a car.

I would recommend this car to anyone.

1992 Chevrolet Lumina Euro 3.1 FI from North America

Summary:

A dependable, high-performance miracle!

Faults:

New brakes (front and rear)

Frost plugs replaced

Transmission overhaul

New exhaust system (had the "sport" muffler installed, but later removed because it was too noisy)

Electrical system overhauled

Interior dash lights and other convenience lights all burned out (didn't bother replacing)

Intermittent window "freezing"

Car runs hot in heavy traffic

Undercarriage is immaculate.

General Comments:

If you keep this car in good condition by replacing parts immediately as required, it'll provide many years of dependable service.

The car body is in pretty good shape, with minimal rust. I've only replaced the car hood with one from the wreckers, and I'm pleased that with a little detailing, it's kept its looks.

It still has (even with close to 600,000km on her!) a lot of zip right off the mark. It loses it at the high end, after acceleration. Still, not bad for a 10-year-old car!
