Hi all,
I have been wanting a Festiva for awhile now but haven't found one that was in half decent shape.
One evening while browsing craigslist I stumble on an ad for an 88 Festiva, pics looked great and the price even better. I figured someone already got it or it was alot worse than the pics showed. I figured what the heck, shot out an email and to my amazment I get a call the next day.......from the festiva owner saying she still had it. woohoo I thought and setup a time to go see it that evening.
I get there and here sets a very nice, clean festiva, beautiful interior and completely bone stock, she had a stack of records for all repairs etc... she even had the oil changed when she put it up for sale.
I handed her the asking price of $350 :hello1: and left with my festiva.
Now the one and only bad part:
The outside passengers door handle is broken
I have called dealers and all parts places with no luck, none in the wreckers near by either. I have been searching and reading here looking for a possible interchange handle that will fit and haven't found anything.
Anyone have an answer or source for the exterior door handles?
Thanks for the great site, I will be a regular and will post some pics up as soon as I get some taken.
