It is a 2002 Saturn SL1. They do not know why it is using oil, except that the wear marks in the engine are horrific. And, with the labor, it's $2K at least. Without getting too specific, the warranty company is saying the 6 year warranty is from the time the car was used as a demo...9 months before we bought it. Why we would pay for a 72 month warranty and get 63 months is a question I asked, and so did the dealer, and we were both blown off. Barring a successful threat, we're out of luck. Also, there would seem to me to be a bit of an ethical problem with taking the car to another dealer and not disclosing this issue. Is there something special about the Lucas additive, by the way? Add this to the IRS issue hanging over our heads (though we are sure we do not owe the amount they say, the penalties and interest alone are $4K), it's been a rather negative week or two. That said, our son is healthy, and I married up.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
