Engine and turbo should be replaced or possibly rebuilt. Diagnosis: Oil starved; crankshaft worn/ rattles; low power. Can be driven but should be towed. History: Owned since 2013; garaged winters except to drive it a few miles about every two weeks. It has an oil cooler leak; I added 1/2 to 1 quart every 2 weeks. On a highway trip it apparently lost oil or oil pump failed causing significant engine damage. Additional details: 4 Cooper Zeon RS3-A 215/45R17 M+S tires installed July 2015; one was replaced December 2016. Air bag controller produces error message. Soft top worn a bit on one side near the window. When retracting the top, it stalls at one point and you have to press the button a second time. LCD message panel is readable but missing a few lights. Radio antenna is retracted and won't power up. Onstar antenna cap is missing; it's covered with an epoxy cap. Minor rust in passenger door hinge area and driver's rear tire panel. Some cracks in leather upholstery; a few scuffs and scratches.Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup.
