Q: I want to know whether to buy a 2014 Subaru Legacy

asked by on July 20, 2016

I want to know whether to buy a 2014 Subaru Legacy. I am concerned about the possibility of getting an oil burning car. The car fax shows oil changes are regular intervals of 5000-6000, but one interval recently of just 2500 miles. The car currently has 65000 miles.

My car has 65000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
