Beginner's car. It's a good car when you're first learning to drive
Good starter car. My dad gave it to me. She's rusty and banged up but she runs. My only recommendation is that if you're tall get a different car im 6'1' and I have to stuff myself inside it. But for going around town on the interstate it's a good car. Gets good mileage per gallon and runs fine. At least mine does.

Reliable and Long Lasting Car
I bought this car thinking it would only last me 3-6 months, which is all I needed to drive from Arizona to California after college. I have now had this car going on 4 years and it is still driving very well. Any issues I have had have been from normal wear and tear like new tires and a revamp of my breaks. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for something reliable!

Has ran forever with no major problems.
This car has ran great I am completely happy with its performance. Its over 18 years old and hasn't had any major issues. Plus gets decent miles per gallon. It has comfortable seats and most people sat the ride is smooth even on gravel.

A great reliable car, would purchase again.
It's been reliable, but lately it has had some trouble overheating so I have to keep antifreeze in the car at all times for precautionary measures. It is 19 years old so that could easily explain the problems recently. Before that the car has been very reliable and runs great!

My Chevrolet Lumina gets thirty-two miles per gallon.
It is a moderate size. It is 4 door. It gets good mileage. Good sized trunk for my needs. No dislikes.

She's been took good care of it makes a difference.
My Lumina is a wonderful car we have owned it for many years we do change the oil regularly and do have regular checkups at the garage we haven't had a lot of repairs to have to fix regular checkups makes a difference I think. The body is still in good shape an actually looks good still.

The awesome gas mileage It gets.
The car is a 2001 and it runs and runs with little to no maintenance. It has close to 200,000.000 miles on it with the interior and exterior still in great shape.

Old, but reliable vehicle with good gas mileage.
Lots of transmission problems and cooling system problems. For an older vehicle, it does pretty well. I wish it was more comfortable and looked nicer. But, for what I paid for it, it is been pretty reliable. I bought the car to get by for a short period and then wound up keeping it, so it is performed better than I thought it would.

Not what it is portrayed to be for the car model. Would not buy again.
This is a 2008. Had 24000 miles when purchased. Have had more problems with it since I bought it in 2013. Had to keep returning to dealer for tire problem. Needed another transmission a year after purchase. Followed with a couple of sensors. Too much money spent.

18 year old car. . . Still going strong.
The car is reliable. I do keep up with problems as they come. Use it mainly for shorter trips. Have had it repainted and new tires as needed. Was told it is a good reliable car and the engine was very good too. Will keep it until there is something very major wrong with it.

That it saved me a lot of money not having a car payment for so many years.
It is old. No CD player. Does very low. I do like that I do not have a car payment. I will keep it as long as I can.
accountCircle Jessica D
The gas mileage is not that bad. It gets me from point A to B.
The ac does not really work since it is an old car. The gas is ok. It is not computerize at all which is both good and bag. It is somewhat dependable. It is good for now but I do plan on getting a new one soon. I am hoping to stick with a Chevy because I feel like they make really great cars.
accountCircle Al M
Been very reliable. Very few problems.
Left rear strut leaks, plus the manifold cover leaks some oil. Other than that the car has bee and very reliable. Needs new tires, I have got up to 468 miles to a tankful of gas. Averages over 300 miles. Everything works on the car. It has electric windows, cc am/FM cassette stereo.

2000 Chevy Lumina for sale.
I have a 2000 Chevy Lumina. Runs really well, very sound and trust worthy. Doesn't look good few minor dents but no major issues. Nice CD radio engine very strong. Good winter car drives wonderful on freeway. New tires and it's very comfortable to drive. But it is 18 years old. 2 Owners before me and have all the paperwork on it from both owners from everything that has been done on it.

Nothing except that there is always trouble with the air.
I like that it gets me around, but I do not like how old it is and there are too many problems that I cannot afFord the upkeep on it. It is expensive.
