what up

[wybnrml]

you could prob find one for cheaper

x2 That seems alittle high, I paid $600 for my first one and it was nice, maybe him not selling is a sign to look around for another one.

[bobbyspider]

yea 600 is what i payed for mine (with all the crap wrong with it i payed too much)

[Damkid]

For $600 you should be able to get a decent festiva that needs minimal work

[jcbgrady]

I paid $675 for mine. If you can resist the temptation to buy you can get a waaay better deal. Hang in there.

My current car was listed for $1200. Far more than I'd pay for a Festiva, let alone an automatic. I made a lowball offer of $500, got the "you must be stupid" look, shrugged my shoulders, and went home.

The next day I got a call from the seller. Apparently it had be for sale for a long time and nobody wanted it, not ever her nephew when she offered it for free to him. So she accepted my offer of $500 and I haven't regretted purchasing it.

If this guy is playing games with you, walk away. Who knows, you may just get a call down the road from him, begging you to take the car.

Otherwise, I agree with everyone else here. You can find as good, if not better, Festivas for much less. Especially in your neck of the woods.

Good luck!

man i super mad right now i went over there with the 1300 that we agreed on to buy the car and the dummy wants more money now i offered 1400 and he still wanted more so i told him to kiss my :pottytrain2: lol (no i really ididnt but wanted too) ill try again tomorrow and see if i get for what i was asking for it..... the thing that sucks is everyone seems to have money right now cause of tax season and thats how i have some cash and them dealers know it so he's playing hard to get

Oh Man, that sucks. Don't know all the details on that one, but 1300.00 seems a bit high, unless it is very low miles and virtually mint inside and out. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who paid less than 500 bones for my 89 and my 90. Neither one is perfect, both need a little of this, and a little of that. At this point, I'd say ignore him, and see how long it takes for him to decide 1300.00 doesn't look so bad. In the mean time, go out and snag a Festy, so when he does call, you can tell him what he can do with himself and the horse he rode in on. :twisted:

Funny thing, I have talked to that people on that car lot in the el cajon area & they are not honest @ all, So I would be very careful if I was you.

And welcome to the site!

yeah it looks like im going to wait for now and if i get it i get if not im going to keep looking

[sodikartracer]

Hey Man WHATS UP! Stoked to see another on here from SD. Ive seen that car on craigslist for like the past 3 months with a repost every day. Its most likely that there is no other real interest in the car if its been posted fo that long without anyone buying it. And i agree with the others on here that thing looks like it definitely needs some work and is kind of beat up for that much money. You can definitely do better you just might have to wait it out. Good luck with your search. Pretty soon we can have enough members from SD for a good meet!

[lanemeyer14]

That one looks a little beat up for the price they're asking. If I were you I'd keep looking. Do you HAVE to have a car right now, or can you afford to wait?

That car has been posted on here, that car is personaly not worth it, keep looking, but don't get desperate and over pay for a car that needs alot of work.
