Hi! Thinking about a Lumina SS
Posted: Mon 04 Mar 2019, 19:06
Hi all,
I've been thinking about getting a Lumina SS sedan, a model from around the years of 2007 - 2008. I like the look of those and it ticks all the boxes of manual gears, 4 doors, V8, power, and price (vs other cars I looked at for what you get).
I was wondering, though, what it is like owning a car that old and also that's not made here anymore. Are the parts still available from places like Masterparts, etc? Any issues anyone can see cropping up?
I'm someone coming from a modern hatchback but have always wanted to work on cars and own a V8 (so very noob). I never worked my car or done any mods (as much as I wanted to) because of the warranty so I feel it would be freeing to live a dream of mine with an SS.
Any thoughts? Maybe it's just a bad idea because of issues I might experience, especially as I'd want it as a daily.
Please let me know, Lumina owners and anyone else with an opinion or advice
The idea is to leave the hatchback behind and go all in.
