1992 Chevrolet Lumina APV review from North America

Well, when we first go the van, the transmission went on us. It cost $1,000 to fix, but being that we only paid $2,000 for it, it was still a steal. Due to the bad road conditions in NJ, we have had to get the front wheel bearings replaced ($500) and this was all in the first month (we bought from a dishonest used car salesman).

Now the only thing wrong with it is the power steering hose which needs to be replaced, but is not a costly repair.

However, since we fixed those things, a year ago, the Lumina has been extremely dependable. The inside has been easy to maintain, and what a comfortable ride the van offers. I have been told I drive it like a sports car, so that goes to show it handles and accelerates beautifully.

I have always been apprehensive about buying domestic cars. They have bad reputations for not being built as well as their foreign counterparts. However, this van was a great buy. We have gotten plenty of use out of it and expect to continue taking trips in it for years to come (really)!
