That's a pretty serious issue. It usually means severe internal wear but that would be a shock at that mileage. The engine could also be totally sludged up from lack of oil changes causing oil to collect in the valve cover from plugged up drains. That would also be a very serious problem. You DO need to get a professional diagnosis to determine the actual problem. That doesn't necessarily have to be done by the dealer. There are many capable Independent shops. I would stay away from the chain shops though.

Oh sure, it was a little old lady and she only drove it on sunny days. I hope you didn't believe a word of it.
