You misunderstand what I meant...
I wasn't comparing my pacification convertible to a SKY.
I was pointing out that the engine was in great running condition.
That, versus a lot of used vehicles that make terrible lifter, pump, or bearing noises when you start them up cold. Let me tell you, I heard a lot of engines that were driven way too hard and would not have lasted long. Then I found this one.
It amazes me, what some dealers will take in trade or buy at auction sometimes. I went to take an in-person look at one I found online. It looked and sounded like a 16 year old kid drove the crap out of it and beat the hell out of the body too.
This particular dealership didn't even recondition the damn thing. The dealer had 14,999 in the window. Busted body parts, holes in the convertible top, stressed paint all over, high miles, Check Engine light was on even. Dealer wouldn't even pull the trouble codes for me. Told me they would sell it to me for 10k with a "Certified Used" 12,000/12 month warranty, but at that price it was as-is. I told them I wouldn't buy the car for 6K and could not run out of there fast enough.
There are some ugly used cars out there with premium prices, and idiotic sales people pushing them, that's all I'm saying.
