How Many Miles on Your Lumina

I have a '97 with 3.1 engine with 153,000 miles. Have replaced a couple of alternaotors, a starter, and intake manifold gasket among other regular maintenance items. Car is still running strong.

How many miles on your lumina?

My baby, Natalie, is a 1993 Lumina Euro with the 3.1L 60* VIN T V-6 (LHO) and she just turned 202,152.8 miles. Not bad considering when I bought her for $750 last July, she had four bald tires (two of them flat), her tranny fluid was brown and the oil was a semi-solid. It's amazing how people treat cars and how much work it takes to fix them after they change owners. But the best part is that Natalie still has the juice to spin her rubber for a good ten feet.

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

I have a 93 with the dohc 3.4. She just turned 104,000 today. I just put a tranny in it last week on my drive way. LOTS OF FUN!!! Besides that, it isn't too bad since I have replaced everything else too.

98 3.1 with 128k.

Two words: VISOR CLIP!!!

About to replace those leaky intake gaskets and browsing the forums for insight on what to expect.

No repairs just maintenance.

Ditto on the visor clip.
My 98 LTZ 3.8l just turned 230K. I've replaced the tension pulley once and belt twice. About to replace the Multifunction switch (no stop lights on bottom but top working) and now the A/C compressor clutch is slipping. Can't complain though at 230K. Car still has plenty of power and looks great.

96 Lumina 3.1

I bought a 96 with a 3.1, brand new. 100K and the only "breakdown" I had was the accessory belt shredding at 75K. The rear brakes also fell apart. Other than that, still a tight, strong running car.

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

I have a 90 with a 3.1. It's got over 246000kms. or 153000 miles on it and still going strong. I just found out it will even run with no oil showing on the stick, although it was getting a little bit of a tick to it. Huh, imagine that.

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

99 3.1, turning 60k this month (I'm sure of it :P ). Before this, 91 olds cutlass 3.1, 189,984 when we sold it. No major problems with either 3.1....yet. I'm waiting for the intake to blow, but otherwise a strong running car.
