How Many Miles on Your Lumina

[decollect]

hmmmm which of my 2 (soon to be 3) Lumina's do I quote? My '97 is just about to turn 50k and I'm checking the oil and water weekly waiting for the intake to go bad. However, my '90 with the 2.5 litre 4 banger has just over 315k on the odometer. I bought the car 2.5 years ago with 252k on the clock and paid a whopping 200 bux for her. Now some 60k+ miles later, I'm donating it to my kids for their use. Only problem with car so far? Had to replace the steering column because the ignition cylinder locked up on me, and I paid a shop to throw some new struts on the rear. Past that, she runs like a bear. However, the 315k on the clock is misleading. Person I bought her from replaced the engine at 195k according to the records he gave me when I bought the car. No idea on if it was a new engine or a junkyard engine with miles already on it. At best case scenario, THIS engine has 130k on it, and uses virtually no oil.

i have a 93 euro sedan. just turned 160,000 today. i got it 3 years ago at 104,000. ive replaced the rear brakes 3 times(calipers, pads, and rotors), the front brakes twice(same as rear), struts when i first bought her, oil pump drive shaft seal, that stupid composite coupling that screws into the intake manifold(oh, yes...i had loads of fun with this one), outer tie rods, and just regular maintenance. she still runs great, but aint that pretty(large amounts of paint missing...yes, its white). shes the best car ive ever owned but im thinkin about getting a new car...

I first got on this site to see who else had the miles I have on my car. I have a 1992 Lumina euro 3.1 coupe Red,with 354,000 miles on it. I drive 1 hour to work and 1 hour home 6 days a week. Original engine and transmission. It doesn't burn any oil and runs great. I have repaired little things along the way but the major stuff has never failed yet. I am going to try to get to 400,000 and then take it from there. wish me good luck.

96 with 3.1=138,000 miles, have had to replace upper manifold gasket; 98, same engine, 130,000 miles, replaced upper & lower manifold gaskets....not cheap! Also, seemingly unsolvable AC problems on the 96, so I gave up on it, it got too expensive for no results.

Otherwise, just routine stuff like alternator, turn signal switch, electric window switch cluster.

'92 Sedan, 3.1, about 125k miles.
I've replaced the muffler (with a Flowmaster) and put in K&N intake, other than that just little things, general upkeep.
Did have to get an oil leak fixed when I got the car a year ago, the plug where a distributer would go had come out... leaked about a quart of oil every week or two.
Other than that, I love the car and it's never given me any trouble. It's a good blend of power, reliability, and comfort. Something I can get quick starts out of (0-60 in 9.5 for an old sedan ain't bad) but still take road trips in comfortably.

92, 3.1, 163,000

Only problems I have had, is ignition went out (replaced), and now the turn signal switch is smoking, and the bearings need to be replaced (fixing all that this weekend), other than that, I can't complain about a free car

My baby Lindsay, just turned 180,00 today. She's a 9C1 edition (they didn't make many of them) with a 3.8 V6. Still has the power to outrun just about anything off the line and can blow away EVERY honda and neon out there.
