hello, I am looking at a 1998 Lumina LTZ
for a second car , are there any problems to look for in these used cars, 90,000 low miles??
sorry I never bought a used car with 90,00 miles before,
A/C is not working,

please post what to look for when these cars get miles on them
many thanks, rocky9

Biggest thing (assuming it is a 3.1 L) is lower intake manifold gaskets will or can leak coolent into the oil. Check the dipstick. I have a 96 and have replaced the gasket twice over 200K miles. The other thing I've had to replace twice was the ecm. Not knowing the general condition of the car, all radiator/heater hose's, and vacuum lines could be age suspect.
