Oil Consumption 2013 Outback 44,000 miles
We purchased a 2013 Outback 01/9/19, perfect car fax, low mileage, locally
owned, full loaded...for 17,000.00. It is still under 3 month dealer warranty.
Seemed like Just what we were looking for. Two weeks after purchase, oil
light came on (it was quart low.) I read about excessive oil use and class
action suit. Took it back to dealer and they will give me $15,000.00 to trade it
in on a newer model. We are considering 2017 Outback, 25K for an additional
$13,500 out the door.
I am literally sick about this, the oil consumption & now paying way too much
on second vehicle which is a lot newer but way over our original budget! Any
advice greatly appreciated. I know I am taking huge chance, but I am thinking
about just walking away and keeping excessive oil consumption 2013 and
crossing my fingers. But ... I don’t know if that is best option. We’re in our 60’s
and drive about 12,000 miles a year. Please take a moment to give me your
thoughts.
