  • if all goes well, I'll own a 89 festy L monday

    I have a CL WTB ad for a festy and a guy calls today and tells me he has a 89L that his elderly mom bought new here in town. its white with a grey interior, 4 speed, A/C. he says its in great shape and was well taken care of by mom. he thinks it will need a master cyl. soon but otherwise it needs nothing. wants $1275 for it.

    he's suposed to call monday to set up a time for me to come look at it. its only 5 miles from me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. if anyone here is in good with the festiva Gods please put in a good word.

    I'lll let you know and hopefully have pics to go with my

    Would love to see a picture if you find it and get it. Take cash! Sounds like a deal; I'd take it if it were near me ...

            needs a master cylender as stated, good cleaning and a wax. everything works, even A/C!
            new pads and shoes, pulls a little to left and has slight shimy at certain speeds and braking. feels like a tire balance thing. leaks a little oil on the exhaust manifold but very little. (probably won't have to ad any between changes). the original owner was a smoker so there is a burn hole in the drivers seat and rear seat. guess she had one blow back in on her, lol. final price $1225

            think I'll keep it stock for delivering and bust a bad move on the one with the bad engine and trans.

                    Jealous of the clutch? :p
                    Congratulations, It is a fine ride. No better way to learn about a car than to give it a good cleaning and tending to the things that need some attention.

                    Hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I do of mine.
