Just stumbled upon a garage where a mint condition festy is sitting, waiting for them to get back from lunch. Let's hope they will sell it. Pics when I get home wether I get it or not.

Good luck man!
88 Festy L (The White Thunder)
91 L came and gone, owned only 2 days -
So it is a 91 manuel. 5 speed i guess? They said $1500 which I'm guessing $1000 or even $1200 in hand would take it. Great shape. no rust. The interior is in amazing shape. it's the blue lined kind.
They said they just put new brakes and exhaust on it.
The only debate I have right now is wether or not I should get a stick. I've only driven one once and that was on the interstate so no real challenge.
here are pics.

Get the 5 speed, you wont turn back after you do. Better gas mileage and alot more fun to drive. I had only drove a stick here and there before my car, as long as you have common sense, then its extremely easy

Looks sharp I'd pick it up- don't let the manual scare ya away. I wish I had picked up the 88 4 speed w/ the aspire swap from the guy I got my 91 auto from instead. Picked up the auto cuz the fiance can't drive stick and figured we would have a car we both could drive if hers crapped out on us..........well it got totaled & she still wouldn't drive it DoH! Should have just bought the stick cuz autos suck

Buy it anyway and sell it to another member for a profit, if you really don't like manual transmissions.Comment

it isn't that I don't like them just never REALLY drove one. I guess I'll just have to go out at night and drive alone to get used to it.Originally posted by bravekozak View PostPrevious owner of ZEFstivaComment

If I get it, which I likely will if something does not pop up in the next few daysPrevious owner of ZEFstivaComment

It's a GL! I would make a cash offer on it, you never know. But it is a straight car and it looks like it doesn't have any rust. And X2 to what bravekozak said, even if you don't like the 5 speed, you could sell it for a small profit or maybe even trade it for an auto. Most of the time it's the other way around, people want a 5 speed and all they can find is an auto.'90 LXComment

Manual Festivas are easy to learn on.
That one looks really nice, but still check it out thoroughly. If it's as nice as it looks I doubt they'd take less than $1200 right now. Cash talks, though! Good luck!

Another vote for buy it.
Once you learn to shift, you'll never want anything else but a 5 speed.Festiva: Because even my dog can build a Honda.
