    Got the Girlfriend a Festiva!

    It's a white, automatic 1991 GL with 111K miles on it for $200! Drove it an hour to get home!

    Starts right up, idles rough because it has a bad exhaust valve, but drives just fine.

    Three good tires and one that needs to be replaced, pronto.

    Horn works!

    Broken headlight, a little bit of through-rust in front of the rear tires, cosmetically not bad (after a bit of spray paint!) on the outside and it has a blue stripe interior.

    The lady-friend is going to appreciate the air conditioning and sun roof, both of which I'm jealous of!

    It really just needs a good detailing, a few tiny electrical problems sorted out and some love.

    I'm heading to the junkyard for an Aspire head, tire, headlight and window regulator tomorrow.

    Make sure you take a good look at the rear beam mounting points. With the rust as it is back there I would be concerned. Otherwise that looks like a decently sweet deal.

      I checked a little while ago. Looks solid to me!

      I've been putsing around it and got a few little quirks worked out like getting the headlights to work and reinstalling the wiper stalk!

                          ^^ Neighbors too.... depending on how many cars you have in your driveway
                          If a hammer doesn't fix it you have an electrical problem
