  • Frustrated!!!!!

    i REALLY want a festiva, like REALLY bad but i can not find one in California for under $2000. I would prefer a NON running one, or one thats had an engine swap already but litterally can not find one in cali. I think $500 bucks for a non-running festiva is a good price but there are none to be found. Sorry for my rant but its starting to get to me.!

          I know I sure am glad I picked up the crappy one that I did when I did.... The market around here has been bone dry ever since

            They are tricky little creatures, they pop up when you least expect it, I havent had a festiva since last year but see at least 4 a week.

                      Keep lookin' prices are goin' up, I'm goin to look at one for 1200 on thursday. The last one on CL sold in less than 48hrs. I've also been lookin' for at least a month. Asked a guy with one in a parking lot if he'd be interested in selling and he laughed.

                              just say "se vende" or "quanto es" i dont know if i spelled that right, but it means how much

                              also, use searchtempest on craigslist, pops up all sorts of different areas i never look at. and there were a couple in LA over the weekend
