I'm new to Festivas and this forum, but I am looking for a reliable little car for commuting and running around town. I really like to style of the Festiva, and I was wondering what your opinion of this posting is.
Thanks everyone. I haven't tried to look at it yet, but I would definitely be sure to thoroughly check for rust. I wondered if it had been painted too.
What I noticed was rust and auto tranny. The autos are only 3-speeds, so hi revs on the hwy = poor mileage (in the 30s). Less of a factor for city driving tho. If not too rusty, and you are handy with tools, the price seems reasonable. Use the rust to talk the price down a bit. Offer $800.

According to the ad it has power steering and delay wipers. Hmmm....... Make sure it has those, if not offer a lower price.
