I've had oil analysis done for half my oil changes, and never had anything reported as deficient. The Acura has no noticeable oil loss between changes.
Well, maybe it's fine. I don't know. All I know is my Prius chugs oil like an entire fried food franchise.

If her budget is $10K then the budget is $10K. She just isn't' going to get a 5 year old car for that. A search for cars less than 10 years old and $5,000 to $10,000 returns 171 vehicles within 50 miles of my house.

There is even this low milage Sonic with a manual transmission.
Sorry, I didn't mean she could afford that much. I meant that the kinds of cars she's interested in cost nearly that much.


Doing a 500 mile radius with Hondas and Toyotas (her main preference) for $10,000 or less brings up a few, but none with less than 90k mi. Maybe Redpoint5's Acura is a good deal.
