I JUST tried to go buy a Festiva

[stevewl1164]

Wow...low miles! Someobody else paid for auto check I see.

Wow...low miles!

Yeah, but wouldn't you be afraid to put miles on it then!

[Matt_Awesome]

Yeah, but wouldn't you be afraid to put miles on it then!

Yes, for shure.

yellow is a pretty awesome festiva color IMO. Good luck!

Hella! I love that faded-looking yellow color on it.



I just got back from the DMV with they guy and they told us to mail it to her, get it signed, and have it mailed back.
So I sent it to her with UPS and it cost me $50 round trip. But, he is taking $50 of the price of the car.
So, I should be able to call myself a Festiva Owner in about a week.

What do you think I should do to it first?
I was thinking that the suspension needs replacement. Then some new tires. And last, tint the windows. If I get the really dark It would look really sweet with the yellow paint.

Ummmm....why does it need new suspension. If the milage is that low....then there is no way that it could have issues with the suspension....is there?

Tires if it needs them and if it has been sitting....check the brakes bearings e-brake mechanisk in the drums.
Cap, rotor, plugs, wires, oil change. If all that is good...Tint the windows and call it a day.
Then when really start to wonder what to do to it...go to the custom engine and suspension forum and read up.

I'm with Genevadirt on the suspension, except for possibly the anti-sway bar bushings which seem to deteriorate under all conditions.
Just a guess, but in Vegas I'll bet the e-brake is just fine.
It's the corrosion that locks it up here in the rust belt!

Actually Matt the "wouldn't you be afraid to put miles on it then!" was for stevewl64!

Stevewl1164, if you had this one you could drive for 65K or so miles without worrying it will go over 100K!

[freshtiva]

Good luck with the car I hope it works out for you. Welcome to the forum !!

[GenevaDirt]

Good luck with the car I hope it works out for you.

Thats questionable at best.

Thats questionable at best.

Theres people on here who own festivas with even less miles. Its believable.
Old people get sick.. and refuse to sell there cars... People die, and cars get parked.. it happens

[LittleHoe]

So what ever happened here... did you go to the DMV and get this all sorted out?
