HI Brian, sorry abut this matter , as I mention, on a high kilometers cars special germen cars you really need to get the extended warranty and you did say that you do not want to get any coverage, on a Audi and BMW also Mercedes Benz a bit of oil burning its normal and they all have . I understand 2 litter is a lot and im sure will not be $9000 to repair for you, I did call my service shop and he could fix it for you a lot less cost . I have no Id why your rating me 1 star as I did clearly explained that warranty is important , you did test drive the car , you did buy the car with confidence with no posh from our side . please correct the rating and call us if I can help or support in any way . Thanks again
