It is a good car just have to figure out what is wrong with the stalling at stop lights. I hope to get it fixed soon...I have researched every post known to man or woman and I think I am ready to finalize my attempts in fixing solving it...Mar 07, 2013

Purchased this car used, in 1992 with 70,000 miles. Kept routine maintenance up and had little problems other than brakes explained above. Car ran well and I sold it to my brother with 200,000 miles on it. He used it as a work car as a union boilermaker and drove it 5 more years. Odometer broke, so don't really know how many total miles were put on it. He then sold it to our baby-brother who drove it 1 more year to his boilermaker jobs. It did take some maintenance with brakes, but held up quite well. It was the only car that went through all three of us that Mom and Dad never had a part in purchasing. Car still ran when it left the family, but the tranny had finally let go. Body was in good shape, but the driver's door had begun to come apart from use. Otherwise the body was good, with no corrosion. Great Car, It had the 3.1 v6. Our father purchased a 1993 model brand new and it held up for 155,000 miles before it left the family. Chevrolet did it right then.Aug 04, 2012

payed $400 for it, worth the money but not much more. it handles poorly and doesn't accelerate fast at all. fixing it is very cheap and usually easy. the stock speakers are surprisingly great. if you need a cheap car this isn't bad.Oct 16, 2011

poor build quality, slow as hell, lame transmission, but comfy and fairly reliable. i have a decent stereo in it so it makes driving it a little less lame. but for a free first car, one can do worse haha. Nov 30, 2009

It leaks oil, and transmission fluid. Has poor braking and swims in the corners. Took a deer to the front end a few years back and is still going. It costs a lot to own with the amount of gas that it takes to drive too and from work. How ever it does have 250,000 miles on it and it's still going. Got to love a chevy.Jul 05, 2009

Loved the car so easy to drive and the turn radius was wonderful. Didn't like the handles though. The handles were a pain in the winter. If you pulled too hard they broke and it cost over 50.00 just for the handles but my cousin owns a junk yard so I got it for 5.00.Jan 28, 2009

Pros: Um, I suppose a pro is that it was free; it was my grandpa's car. V6, AC, Power Windows and Doors. 4 Wheel independent suspension with 4 wheel disc brakes (rare for the time). Soft suspension made a comfortable ride.
Cons: Bouncy, land-yacht handling. Tons of body roll when cornering. 3-Speed automatic with no tachometer. Manual mirrors. Exhaust system liked to rust through and sound very loud. Not even a tape player.Jan 27, 2009

I loved this car because it was a tank. There was nothing I could do to kill it, it always went, even after I got it stuck in mud, jumped it, ran it out of gas. It could take anything. It worked amazing, I never had any issues with it starting in the morning or anything like thatJul 01, 2008

This car has been hit by two 18 wheelers and both times it drove away for the accident! The car has never left me stranded anywhere regardless to the damages. Car has a bored out silver standard 3.1 V6 pushing around 210hp and about 285 ft-lbs. Has a 2500 watt stereo in it with 8 speakers and 2 10inch subs. Custom black on red interior(work in progress). Ram air intake with k&N filter and 2'5 inch custom exhaust with flowmaster. Apr 05, 2008

a few revisions from the 1990 and the '91 Lumina packs a surprising punch. The interior is a surprise and the "new design" appealed to those who wanted a "sporty car"Mar 31, 2008

the lumina is very economic for its size also is very spacious. the 3.1 multiport provides execellent power for the drivetrain and the long life span of the car is great.Dec 19, 2007

What users have asked
My car's value is a mystery
1991 Chevy Lumina Euro 3.1 , 68,000 original miles. Thousands of dollars in repairs in 4 years. Finally found a shop that nursed her back to health. My first appointment with them I made the statement "i hate to put pressure on you but you are her last hope". Sweeeeet! Job well done JK's. I've hit a brick wall on putting a value on her. Do I have to hire an appraiser to get a true value. Or ...??

need help with my 1991 chevy lumina 3.1
this car ran fine.then i got a chevy s10 pickup so the lumina sat for over a year and a half untill a friend said she wanted to buy it.i went over to the car and it fired right up several times.so my friend comes over and drives off with it.about 15 miles it just dies so she has it towed to her house.i went over there the next day and put on a coil pack and it fired right up but the battery was weak so i brought her a battery the next day and would not start.so i towed it back to my place and sprayed starting fluid in the intake and it would start so i put on a new fuel filter and would not start so i bought a fuel pressure tester and it was like 30lbs when i just turned the key onso i figured to low of pressure so i put on a fuel pump which was a big pain.then i checked the fuel pressure with just turning the key on and it had 42lbs of fuel pressure so i thought i got it.i tried to start it and it would not not start.i pulled fuses and cvhecked them they was good so i put them back.i had just left the fuel pressure guage hooked up.next morning i went out and it started right up like 6 or 7 times so i took it out for a test drive and got about half a mile and it just died and would not start so i got help and they towed me back home and here i am on here asking for help from anyone that might be able to help so please somebody give mme some advice.thank you
