Welcome!! Glad to have another GA member. This is the best place to learn about your Festiva. I'm in Lavonia on the north end of I-85 if you are ever up in this area.

Thanks bro! Its a good lil car has 127k miles on her an only needs a center console an the seat belt clicker things

How sure are you that is a 1988 L? I'm 90% sure that with that rear wiper, the rims, and the a/c that is NOT an L... an LX for sure. Looks AMAZING for $500! I'll give you $501 right now!

Well it says september 3rd1988 on the door an has a "L" on tje back other then that I know nothing about these cars

[Team Lightning]

With a build date of 9/88 my guess is it was sold as an 89 model.

It also has leather seats
