I'll be the voice of reason.

It is not normal to have so many issues on a vehicle with under 150,000 miles.

Your PCV valve will fail. Requiring you to buy a DIY Fix Kit from here and replace the valve cover.

Your coolant overflow tank is brittle plastic and fails, the cap will warp and fail.

Your oil cap will spit out oil because it won't seal well after heat cycles.

If it's an automatic it's toast. If it's a manual, enjoy putting in 2.5 QTs of overpriced amsoil transmission fluid regularly to prevent it from overheating and failing.

Camshaft actuator seals, those will fail on you.

Water pump, definitely will fail on you.

Oil cooler assembly gaskets, will fail on you.

Turbo, will fail on you.

I've maintained the hell out of mine, and due to age and poor quality, it's become a question mark of when it will throw another code and fail, and it's only got 150,000 miles.
 
Out of all the 10 year old cars someone could purchase, a cruze should not be on that list.
