Mystery Machine

Never bought a used vehicle....thought it was too chancy
Found a reasonable price on a used Pontiac Montana van real fancy
Had a few quirks and they made it all right 
She ran real fine for a few months then came the alarm lights
One then two audible and flashing the oil was dangerously low
Checked the oil and it was full; I new this machine was gonna cost me some dough!!
Drove to the dealer and traded it for a Lemona
A brand new set of problems in the Sienna

The wheels they turn, and the oil does burn. And all you can hope for is a lesson to learn.
