1994 Chevrolet Lumina Minivan Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This minivan was purchased by us from a Dealer's Auction for 60% of the retail price. We drove it with love, it was clean inside and out. However, a cooling pipe busted in the VA mountains and this was the end of our love. We had to get a U-Haul and a dolly and bring it back. Friend of mine, gave me $500 for it and put a $25 gasket in it and drove for who knows how long! And I thought, the engine was a goner! Later, we missed it, but not for long! Great memories...May 13, 2015

Bought from dealership with 130,000 km. Had issues with airconditioning and altenator right away. had to have the dealership service the A/C, but was able to repair the altenator myself. Altenator was REALLY hard to source. (maybe because at the time i lived in a small town) have since had few problesm here and there with electrical. (broken wires/shorts no big deals) Performance – acceleration is okay but motor is underpowered for the weight, braking is good, handling is alright but turning around sucks cause the thing is so long. 90% of U-turns are 3-4 point turns Build Quality – Other than chronic electrical issues/shorts build is good. nothing broken inside or out. Appearance – outside - it looks like a dustbuster without a handle, otherwise the plastic panels macke the appearance of the vehicle timeless. inside is VERY plush, seats are very comfy. Chevrolet went to great lenghts to make the seats re-arrangeable with individually removable seats all around. Cost of Ownership – gas mileage is alright, approx. 12L per 100km on hwy, seems like 2x in city though, parts are cheap since thie same motors are used in 80% of chev vehicles.Aug 17, 2008
