Ughhh, I just purchased a used 08 aveo lt sedan maybe two weeks ago with 10,000 miles on it for 10.5k. I noticed for the past few days the oil light flickering. I awoke this morning to find large amounts of oil on my garage floor. I checked the oil level on the dipstick, and it was low. I threw some oil in it & took it to the dealership. They said I can't drive it & gave me a rental. Said they'll need it for at least 5 days. I was told it's a defective oil sending unit, and wiring harness. I'm still under the 3/36 & the 5/100 so everything is being covered. I also bought 4 new vehicles from this dealership & this used one, so It's in their best interests to keep me happy. Has anyone else had a similar issue?
I bought the aveo because I needed a car good on gas, and had some decent trunk room. Thus, my reasoning on getting the sedan even though I liked the looks of the hatchback more. I feel the car is somewhat reliable, and the gas mileage has been good. I know about getting my timing done before 60k too, so hopefully I won't have any more issues? If it proves itself I may upgrade to a 2012 if they get a decent review.
I actually like the aveo & it's looks. I get busted on a bit from my friends, but it's all in good fun. I didn't need a high performance car as my daily driver. I bought it for what it was. I have a sport bike, and 400hp vw to fuel that need
