A '91 with an airbag? Really?

Anyway, I got mine for $400.00 with only 93,425 miles on it and mine doesn't smoke. I think the owner of this one DOES smoke (something other than tobacco).

These cars along with Geo's have gone up a lot with the gas prices, and the media coverage on old little cars that get good mileage. Remember all of the news articles on here have been posting about people and their festiva's. This is going to get peoples attention.

I bought the orange one for $600 but it was just a shell. The yellow one for $1500 but the engine and trans had only 53k miles on it. Its had a lot of problems unfortunately. I have a silver one on the way I am going to get for $400, but thats just because my wife has a connection to the owner. Its all about getting lucky any more. I can not believe how much the cars are selling for. But don't worry this wont last they are still considered pieces of junk by many outside of the community, and there are a slew of new mini cars coming onto the market in the 2010 market year.

I have noticed the price is going up on these car. I just don't wish to sell a Festiva to someone that just wants a car that gets great MPG. Folks that had these little cars before all the high priced gas got no respect. I think the buyers of these cars now will maybe never attend a Festiva meet. They are the same ones that are running the prices up.

Was looking at that one on ebay last night, but refrained from coming on here and making fun of the guy in case it was someone on here selling it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they only around 5 grand new???

[Axlander9289]

Well, if that's the kind of Festiva 3500 bucks gets you these days, I think mine is worth about 5 grand. </sarcasm>
