Very low mileage, two owners total. This car could run for years to come with the right maintenance. Best suited for someone looking to do work on their own as mechanic labor costs made some of these repairs prohibitive.

Guides also possibly need to be replaced but not as likely as the car has low mileage. He said a valve job would get rid of the consumption issue. Currently, I've put oil in the car every other fill up to maintain. The suspected reason for the check engine light is a bad fuel injector - #2 You can drive it, but not recommended more than ten miles or so.
