JoroCorona Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 Well, If your not willing to spend some money of the thing, then just drive it til it dies. That will be a very long time. Like I said before, just give it proper maintance and it will go for a good long time. Get the tint done professionally. The kits that get sold at pep boys and shit tend to be crap and fade quickly. you might also want to nightshade your tail lights, markers, and turnsignals. that looks pritty slick if done right.

Yeah, that's the plan, and Nightshade was one of the things on that list of cheap mods to do... When you say "give it proper maintance," can you specify? I mean, just follow GM's recommendations as to maintenance procedures at certain mileage points or where can I learn more? Sorry if I'm thick :oops: Quote
genEus Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Posted June 26, 2005 eww no tach It's not "eww" .. it's LS. Quote
DiscoStudd Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 Does it say "LS" on the other side of the decklid? Reason I'm asking is because your car has the base model's 15" steel wheel/ hubcap combo. IIRC, all of the LS's came with 16" alloys standard (I could be wrong though, so take it with a grain of salt.) :shock: Your car does look like it's brand new! I think you'll easily get your $6500 out of it... Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 I don't think you overpaid, considering the extremely low mileage. From the pics it looks like brand new shape as well. The 3100 is an excellent engine and it should be a great daily driver that will last you a long time (Longer than 70k that's for sure!). Most people on this board have well over 100k on their vehicles, w-bodies are damn reliable and cheap to fix. Quote
MonteCarloChick Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 eww no tach It's not "eww" .. it's LS. I have a 2 door LS and I have a tach 8) And the LS Lumina's did come with factory hubcaps just like my Monte Carlo did. Quote
DiscoStudd Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 Didn't all Montes come standard with a Tach? The only Loomies that had them standard were the LTZ's... Quote
MonteCarloChick Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 Yes, I believe all Montes have a tach in them Quote
GP1138 Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 Yes, I believe all Montes have a tach in them That's why your LS has a tach in it, silly. Quote
MonteCarloChick Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 I know, I'm just messin with the n00b Quote
genEus Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Posted June 26, 2005 I know, I'm just messin with the n00b See, if I actually cared about a tachometer, I may have been upset with that remark. Doesn't have a tach? hm ok, what do I care? Quote
genEus Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Posted June 26, 2005 It's just sexier If I were going for sexy, I wouldn't have bought a Lumina. OMG, I think I'm gonna be thrown out for that remark now :oops: Quote
digitaloutsider Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 If I were going for sexy, I wouldn't have bought a Lumina. I like this guy Quote
MonteCarloChick Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 You can make ANYTHING sexy if you tried Quote
genEus Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Posted June 26, 2005 You can make ANYTHING sexy if you tried How much $ does it take to try? Quote
dsgrntld187 Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 Sheee-it, Lumina LTZ's are DAMN sexy right off the bat. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 OMG, I think I'm gonna be thrown out for that remark now :oops: Luminas are the official w-body we poke fun at! PARTS CAR!! Quote
genEus Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Posted June 26, 2005 OMG, I think I'm gonna be thrown out for that remark now :oops: Luminas are the official w-body we poke fun at! PARTS CAR!! Glad to be the forum clown. Although I think there are many of us here Quote
Crimson Fury Z Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 well, if you go junk yarding, you might look into a monte z34 front bumper cover. there are some montes that have the "stock" g-fx kits you could swipe. i have seen a lumina ls w/that exact kit on it, so it should fit. you can also swap the monte gauge cluster in, installing the tach parts if wanted. any w-body rim, 15" or 16" will bolt up(16" is 225/60R/16). junk yarding might be the cheaper way to go, unless you know people.
