I would pick it up! Cool looking little car.

[FestYboy]

oh HELLS yeah!!!! grab that thing up and turbo it with a gt12.

[Darlo]

Remember......I want the best GAS MILEAGE! No turbo for me...... Some people are getting upwards of 75mpg out of these things!

[FestYboy]

that sized turbo will make the engine MORE efficient (adds power too as a bonus).

[Darlo]

Oh ok....lol shows what I know about cars!

[iceracerdude]

Ha,ha ha, Remembering, it's ultimately about the "money saved" for him, now tell him what that garrett turbo will cost him.
Us performance guys buy our spark plugs on a different planet than you hyper milers. We mean well

[Darlo]

It isnt about money saved, it is about the numbers! Stats and all that.......If it was about money, I would find a 1.0liter metro for $500.......but this is only .66 liter and costs $4000!

Going from 46mpg to 65 (if that is what this would get) would only save me $40 - $60 a month........

This is simply to see how good it could get for mpg......for fun!

[rakfint]

if you have $4000 sitting around then why not? I wouldnt buy a car just for good mileage though, buy a moped! haha

[Darlo]

True, Although I was hoping that he would sell it for around $3000...... Even still, I dont think I am quite at a spot (in life) that I would just drop $3000 on a 20year old car, lol.......:nono:

Friend of mine has one here in Calgary. Already has a supercharger on it and revs well over 9000rpm. Raced him with the Festiva a couple of weeks ago and we were very close both on ETs and speed. Here's a link to an earlier visit to the track that he made.

[Darlo]

Is $4000 a fair price for it? As I said, I was thinking more like $3000, but is that fair to even offer?

[91_festy_Gl]

3000 to me would be fair if I was selling it.

The worst answer you can get is no.. even still 4k is pretty good for 50+mpg.

If it only got 50-55mpg I would be upset! I already get up to 51mpg in my Festiva!
