E-Bay..SKY Seats 4 Sale
1 - 20 of 24 Posts
marlboro - in general, we're trying to avoid direct posting of e-bay auctions.
Unfortunately, we've had a handful of people who were abusing the use of crossposting e-bay advertisements, and so we're asking not to post them going forward. (examples - dealers posting e-bay ads to their own cars, using the forum as a commercial advertisement outlet, or individuals that have promoted group buys of things for friends).
Occasionally, something like this may be allowed in the course of discussion (like discussion of prices on e-bay, or the listing of significant vehicles) but with the few bad apples the potential for abuse isn't worth it.
Over on corvetteforum, they are pretty strictly prohibited.

It is sad for somebody. However now somebody on this site can have their red/black seats. Seems like I remember someone saying that they really wanted black/red but it wasnt an option for their exterior color. Who was that Mike ??? did you see it ?

One less set of Black/Red seats in a SKY makes mine that much more valuable.

Believe all of these SKYs are beautiful and there is nothing wrong with a little pride in ownership. :cheers:marlboromike said:

I have seen one color combination i did not like...it was chili red with the beige and black interior with beige top...did nothing for me or the car...I guess i will get alot of hate mail now...but I thought that was the worst color combination yet...

Its ok, I happen to agree with you. When my dealer messed up my 1st order Red/black, they offered me the Red/tan. I told him no way dont like that color combo. He told me they thought they would sell alot of the tan tops due to the extreme heat here. My school of though is, thats what I have a/c for...:lol:marlboromike said:

Where does it say wrecked
Maybe I missed it, but that listing does not seem to indicated that the car was wrecked - could it be that someone decided they did not like the red leather after all - or someone decided to put in racing type seats and no longer needed the facotry original seats?

Ya, I did want red/black pretty bad but now that I have the car, I'm happy with black. I'd rather put my money towards bolt-ons now. I gotta get that dual exhaust so this thing sounds as fast as it looks.
getting real tired of the 'hey start it up" request from the fans I meet parking lots and such knowing that the sound isn't that impressive. I fully explain that its only packing a 4cyl so not to expect much, but it doesn't seem to matter.

Something bad did happen Mike - I emailed the seller asking if I could purchase the black top. I am pasted part of his return email below. Left out the stuff pertaining to me.marlboromike said:
This is a Salvage vehicle we got in a little over a month ago. I have some other parts available, but a lot of the vehicle was damaged.
Thanks

He says you can order the seats you want from your dealer. I am thinking about doing this when my Sky comes in, but haven't made a decision yet.
