Switching to a heavier oil will slow down the consumption, but if you live in Minnesota, your oil will be too heavy to start the car! Get a compression test and ask a mechanic if it is the rings ($$$$) or the valve guides ($$$).
BTW, if you 'sell' it, are you going to tell the next person looking for a bargain that he/she will need to fix it?
