Pop N Wood Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Burning oil. The engine is probably worn out and needs rebuilding. No offense, but this probably isn't the best site to get the sort of very basic info you need to know when buying a used car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtcookson Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Actually, the engine is probably fine. Do a compression test and that should tell you pretty quick. My guess, being a turbo Z, the turbo itself is leaking oil (seals are shot). You'd just need to rebuild the turbo or put on another turbo and you should be fine.
