What's my 55k original mile 88' LX Festiva worth?

[Jealoulstiva]

What's my 88' LX Festiva woth? It has 55,000 original miles on it now, everything works and it runs great, has al the LX options(A/C, tachometer, rear wiper, power mirrors, 5 speed manual trans, etc.) New tires, clutch, fuel pump, and all the normal tune up parts. I've gotten 41mpg driving 75 on the freeway with the A/C on. I've been thinking about selling it but I don't know what it's worth. Any ideas? I don't think its just another $750 festiva but maybe I'm wrong.

it is very very clean looking...it is def a mint condition festy...but keep in mind that the b6t swapped festys only go for around 1,500$....id say you could probably get $1,000 tops here and maybe $1,500 from the streets...hope this helped....and im not an expert but just going by what i see in here everyday...maybe a vet can give better advice

[skimsucka]

that things clean and you could get 2000$ I believe its spotless except for missing the passenger side rear center cap any interior pics?

[pyrothehitman]

i just checked kelly blue book 4 you and the private party expected sale price is :

Condition Value


Excellent
$1,150

Good
$1,000

Fair
$775

the suggested retail value is : Condition Value


Excellent
$1,700

Suggested Retail Value Assumes Excellent Condition...
also this is going off of a 89' becuz it doesnt go to 88'....hope this gives you a better insight...but it also comes down to demand....if some1 wants it bad..then they will pay anything

Bluebook is unreal here...check Hemmings and get a better idea. I think it is Hemmings that tells the true value of older cars. I would hope it would be worth about $3000. I wouldn't even THINK of selling the gem!

http://www.hemmings.com/priceguide/check_prices.html Sadly...no data available but you can look up your OTHER cars on here....fun fun fun!!!

Id say between $1500 and $2000 honestly. Is the tray still under the seat? Seems to be a selling point for some unknown reason??????

[TominMO]

Unless you're really desperate for the cash, I'd say keep it. IDK how many times I wish I'd kept a car that I sold. There are rumors of gas prices going WAY up in the next few years, due to expected Middle East tensions (war?) btw. Israel and Iran.

Why sell a super-economical car in great shape? Even if you got $2K for example, how much would a good replacement car cost you, or how much would you spend in gas on whatever else you own?

[batstiva]

Man, that thing is minty!! I'd probably go 1500-2000 range. Maybe more if it just had those pesky wiper arms.

Seriously, you will be kicking yourself inside of a year if you let that one go.

[marinepolice03]

That is Very nice dont get rid of it! i would say $2000 range but like said before unless you really really need money dont sell it.

[freshtiva]

Need some engine and interior pics but if they look as good as the other pics Id say its worth at least $2000, probably more. In fact id be interested.

[SimonTuffGuy]

Awesome looking... Where are the windshield wipers?

[187festiva]

yeah thats a super clean festiva

[stevewl1164]

Questions that come to mind...where are you? Where is car from? How did it manage to be new for twenty one years? Is that the original paint? How long have you had it? What makes you want to get rid of such a nice one?

[eurotiva]

When gas was $4 a gal. I saw one with 30k miles bring $3300 on sleezbay

[GenevaDirt]

I'd give you $50.00 for it.....hehehe...probably doesn't run and has to be pushed everywhere.
