Thinking about trading in my SC2

It burns oil its small, but its great on insurance and gas, I wouldnt mine getting a Vue but since its a SUV I bet Insurance is gonna be alot but I dont want a car that burns oil, in 3,000 miles it burned a little over a quart, and I do mostly all highway driving thats just unexceptable in my opinion exspecially seeing the car has just over 70,000. Im gonna do some looking around, if I got like $6,000 on a trade in that would be allright I prolly would put the stock muffler back on but then again I almost have this car paid off and Im tired of having a car payment who knows what I will do maybe I should just deal with the oil burning seeing every other car I have owned burned oil

how could I go about fixing this oil burning issue? I have read that Saturns are known for this anywayz

my dad used to have a Hyundai Excel. He simply added oil every time he needed it.

joe go to www.kbb.com and look up the TRADE-IN VALUE of ur car and see how much you get for it. i doubt you will get $6000 for a trade in on a 97 SC2 with 70k on it. but then again you live in a different area that i do. KBB is just to get an idea as how much you will get. the actual trade-in will prolly be less bc dealers use a thing called Galves and NADA
