Q: Is it normal for a car with 31K to have any kind of engine problems?
I bought a used Impreza at 29K. With Impreza at 30K had to change O2 sensor, again have Check Engine light, and now was told it's a MAF sensor. Before that I drove 2.5K over a month time and a low oil level light came on - how come? I drove a Volvo for 100K and nothing ever broke. I have never, ever had to top off the oil in my Volvo. Did I buy a lemon?
My car has 31000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
