i find older engines run better if they were treated right.. i have a focus engine i sold that had under 70k that ran like crap i sold it for $300 the buyer wanted it to strip down and rebuild something and i sold it as is yet i have one in my car now that has about 260,000 and has more umph then my other with 125,000

the high mileage car actually has has a interesting past.. the owner ran it i guess the timing belt went and the mechanic said the engine is totally blown and she needs a new one so i bought it for parts and curiosity hit me to check something and just from the cranking i knew there was no upper cam movement or even resistance.. i tossed a new belt, tensioner and waterpump and it runs amazing so ill eventually pull it and see if anyone wants to give it a home..

either way just your describing is just setting my anger back in from my experience and i hope to hell they make it right for you, you at least have a chance.. i was nearly escorted off the dealers lot because i questioned the mechanics license and ability
