  • I saw an Aspire SE in a wrecking yard....

    Hi ya'll, I was visiting a friend in Waynesboro PA (just across the border from Maryland, near Hagarstown) there's a nice Aspire in the wrecking yard there (Ellwood's wrecking yard) it has the sport wing, and some beautiful interior. Their prices are very reasonable (he quoted me the wing at $20 bucks) for example. I almost pulled it to offer up here, but I've been out of the loop for so long and don't know much about aspire bling wants and desires.

    I hope this helps someone out. I have a friend there who could pull it upon request (he's unemployed, a few bucks for his trouble would be appreciated I imagine)

    I think people would rather buy the entire hatch than just the wing. Something about the mounting studs.

      Definitely get the instrument cluster, door panels and seats. You should be able to sell that whole to a member who wants the SE interior for about $200-250. The cluster alone is worth over $100, as they are rarer even than Festy tach clusters. I can typically buy clusters for $25 in local JYs.

            You can swap the Aspire seat bak & cushion onto the Festy frame.
            It is an upgrade. Its more comfy.
            If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

              Yes and no. Like other Mazda seats, you have to attach the bottom cushion onto the Festy seatbase, then just bolt on the seatback the same as the Festiva's. About 20-30 minutes per seat to make the swap.

                      The car is red. Complete. It looked to be in very good condition. Everything was there. The interior looked almost new. Matching door panels. Yes on the wing/hatch, I noticed it wasn't a bolt and play thing. Good luck, nice fellas there, should be able to get a great deal.

                        The interior is Red/Blue. Driver's seat looks to be in good condition, but the passenger is worn. It has new brakes and other misc parts. Body is in good shape, never wrecked. Engine runs well, no ticks in the lifters. Recently passed inspection. Bad transmission. It was listed for about a week on CL.
