1990 Chevrolet Lumina euro review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the alternator once.
The car had a small tendency to wear through brake, but this was just from needing disc's.
Seats didn't wear too badly although I drove the car everywhere.
I had to replace the water pump at 218,000 miles.
The car still runs like a dream doesn't use a drop of oil, although the transmission slips just a hair from second to third.
It was my main work car for along time.
Now the rack and pinion is getting weak, but I don't plan on fixing it I am going to drive it till it completely dies.
General comments?
Altogether a damn good car.
And I plan on buying another one only in a euro model.
