Horror Story... Options

[DmVinny]

Ok the day is Saturday, Feb 22nd. 2003, and Im about to head 65 miles out of my way to pick up a 95 White Toyota Celica GT.. I get to the small little dealer and take a look at it, not bad, runs good took it for a test drive, Exterior is in mint condition, the Interior needs minor minor work. 5spd, Sunroof, Factory Stereo with indash cd. So I buy it... $4500.00 total with everything (taxes, etc)

Driving home, I get about 20 miles away from the place on the highway and I pop it in 5th. and the oil light goes on, so immediately I get off the next exit and head to the gas station check the oil (at this time theres a slight knock in the engine) So i check the oil and it looked a bit low so i added a quart or two dont remember (its called short term aggravated memory =P ) so i start it up and it seems fine, jump back on the highway and get about another 10 to 15 miles out and oil light jumps back on, ticking is stronger now and than finally the car bogs out and stalls.. so luckily i got over to the right lane and pulled onto the service area.

I try starting the car again just to make sure it starts and it hasnt seized, luckily (or unluckily) it starts.. So I call the guys at the place i bought the car from and they send out a tow truck to tow it back to the place, so now tomorrow (Monday) I will call and see what the problem is.

Another thing that bothers me is I could royally be screwed here because I bought the car AS IS so I dont know exactly if there gonna fix it, or if I have to, or if they're gonna take it back (which i really dont want to).

And I also don't know how bad the engine problem is, dunno if it's worth having it rebuilt or a new engine plopped in.

Well theres my horror story, I guess monday I will find out if it has a happy ending, or a sequel to the horror story.. =(
