    97 chevy lumina

    Ok yea I know I haven't been on here in a long time and for that I am sorry. As you may remember I had to get rid of the intimidator But for a cool $1,400 I bought this 1997 Chevy lumina. Since I took these pics I took off the front plate holder and that sticker in the windshield. also it did come with a factory cd player but it wouldn't play burnt cds so I put my aftermarket sterio in. So far it is the only Lumina I have found that has leather interior and a sunroof.

      Take a close look at the rear drum backing plates. Clean them up and make sure they're not rotten.

        There is a very very little amount of rust on her. Such a small amount it's almost non existent.

        I still have yet to do the breaks on her but I was told (& showin the receipt) that they were done a month before I bought her.

        The one major issue she has is the driver side rear strut. It's shot. But I did buy the new struts for the rear I've just been really lazy and haven't done them yet.
        Also the gas vent on in or near the gas tank is stuck open so my check engine light is on. It's not causing any type of performance issues and I'm still able to add gas with no problem at all. The only thing is the annoying service engine soon light. Once again Just being lazy & haven't fixed that yet.

            hollow camshaft design and they blow manifold/headgaskets. i hate that engine, it will leave you stranded more than once.
            Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.

              good design and poor execution on the 3100-3400s. should have used quality gaskets from the get-go.
