Any thoughts, you ask? Yeah, here's one... BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER!!!

Dude, you have a HUGE oil burning problem and a warranty. Use the latter to avoid getting stuck with the former.

Look, the previous owner obviously knew it had a problem and dumped it before the engine blew on him. Don't get stuck with the same problem.

And don't let the dealer BS you on the oil burning not being a drivetrain problem. Oil burning is not much of a problem in itself, but it IS a symptom of an engine problem, and last time I checked, the engine was part of the drivetrain.

Don't think that a case of oil in the back is going to "solve" anything! There is something very wrong in that engine that won't get solved by a good supply of oil.

They may try to figure out what's wrong with it and fix it, or they may just ask to take it back from you rather than lose money on a huge repair or engine replacement. That may suck, but you're not going to get any compliments on it when it's sitting by the side of the road with a seized engine! If it's a terminal problem, give it back to them and find another one in better shape. Yours is rare, but it's not the only VX on the market, either.

Good luck Corey!
