      The east is loaded with festivas. In the last 3 years we have owned7 of them ranging from 88 to 92 and all trims in between. Have still yet to find a under seat tray though. Currently we have 4 of them sitting outside.

        They are hiding from me... I will hunt them down, just printed several copies of a note to leave in windows of prospects.
        Dear Festiva owner
        This is just the kind of Festiva I’ve been looking for. I’d be interested in buying it from you so shoot me an email at kellen302@gmail.com or call Kellen at *******with a price and we can work something out.
        Thanks,
        Kellen

          You likely will not find an underseat tray. They only came on lx's, they don't slide back in particularly easy, they often end up in the cargo area loaded with nuts and bolts. I've had 23 festivas and have only found 2 in all of those. I still have both.

            How do all you festiva madmen find these cars for so cheap in such good shape all the time? I NEED PROTIPS.
            Dude, I feel your pain. I live in Oklahoma & there's maybe 4 in my town of 50,000. Oklahoma City is almost a million people but 90 miles away and craiglist searches for all of Oklahoma turns up very, very little. Glad I've got Twistiva!

            Keep looking, though. I think the biggest thing is when you find one you'd better be ready to immediately offer ~$1,000 for a running one in decent shape. Neanderpaul may be able to grab them for $500-600 but he's got so many around him they must grow on trees! Surprisingly, I found several being sold by DEALERS last night in Colorado and California so you might want to try standard car buying web sites. Put the distance option as "unlimited".

            Good luck.
