fremontGS300

Corporate has agreed to replace the short engine block to solve the problem, but I'm not happy because when I try to resell this car, it'll have a stigma to it. What do you think I should ask them to do?

I'll discuss it with them when I go into the shop next week, but the ddealership nor my mechanic see any signs of leak and there are no oil marks in my garage where I park it each evening.

I bought a brand new 2006 GS300, it had no problems until last summer, it started eating oil. At first I thought the mechanic who did the last oil change failed to fill it completely, but the 2nd time the engine oil light came on I knew something was up. I took it to my mechanic and he said take it to the dealer. the dealer sealed it and tested it and found it short 3/4 qrt after 1500 miles. They are putting in a request with Lexus corporate, but haven't heard back on how they plan to rectify this. The dealer’s service manager said, the Toyota manual says its common to eat that much oil, but he also agreed, it’s very uncommon for a car to eat that much oil today and there are no oil leaks anywhere. It's been a month but I haven't heard anything yet. I have to find time to go back to the dealership, because it’s been about 1100 miles, and I know I’ll be short on oil again. Any suggestions on what I should do. I'm unhappy to have a $50,000 car that eats oil, like my 1972 Chevy Vega did, and that only cost my mom $3k.
