[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3056819, member: 29706"] Could easily be a stuck PCV valve or something else causing the oil problem. I would do a couple things done before considering a sale. First off get a compression tester. If it has good compression I would probably keep it. But from a quick google search the PCV is likely the issue. After that a valve guide or seal would be the next check so I would disconnect the PCV and plug it and go for a drive with new plugs in and see how they look after a week. If they are clean the PCV is the likely problem. If they are not clean then I would pull the valve cover and take a look. I do have to say that even if it is the guides you could likely run anti foulers or a hotter plug and be fine for a little bit. If I was going to sell it I would look for someone who doesn't mind tinkering and has a kid who will need a car. Or a teen who enjoys hitting some shop classes and won't mind fixing the issue themselves. [/QUOTE]
