Well we went five years without a car payment but finally had to get rid of the XL-7. got another Suzuki but it gets 35 mpg and rides pretty well. Stupid XL-7 had to get a full valve job, and when they started looking inside, they realized that the oil line was almost fully clogged, Once it was fixed, the XL-7 smoked more than any piece of S^^^ car I’d ever seen on patrol We drove it for 2 days to work and on the 2nd day stopped back at the dealership and forced them to give us the 4,000 off the price of this car. With all the service that I had done on that car in 5 years, they should have realized that there was something wrong when the oil changes showed spotless oil since only a drop of oil ever got thru the tube. They were shocked that I had not blown tne engine.
This was the headline November 11, 2012. less than 2 months after buying that new car and getting the extended warranty!!
