Hi guys, so I am afraid my poor leggy gt is nearing the end of its life. Here are the basics:
It is a 1997 Legacy GT with 218k, it has the original motor
It burns more and more oil lately (ballpark 2 quarts in 500 miles),
when the oil is low the engine knocks and the engine light blinks over about 75mph,
I have been adding 10w30 but am going to put one quart of 10w40 in next,
the body has some rust issues.
My question is, how serious does this sound, and is there anything I can do besides replace the engine, or should I look for a new car asap?
Also, my tires are bald, is it worth buying all new tires?
I appreciate any help/suggestions!
