  • not quite sure what to do

    should i part out my festy or sell it whole?

    what should do with all of the accumulated parts ? eBay? sell them here?

    Bought a used CRV and just don't need the festy anymore.


    funny, i never thought i would give it up, but this "forum" has played a factor in my decision

    Stock Festiva parts, other stock Mazda parts, or aftermarket stuff? Those answers will play a big role in deciding how to proceed I think. Just curious, what was it about this "forum" that has made you want to sell your car?
    No festiva for me ATM...

        That's your decision to make. The time might not warrant the little extra money you might get from parting it out.This forum is why I still have my Festiva. I've thought about getting a different daily driver, but I also decide to keep it because of the support available on this site.

        I think it's the gun control thread.

          Shiloh, is it not running? Or are you at the point of having to put a lot of $$ into it?

          I vote for selling it to a member here, who will keep it running past 50K miles.

            Sell it entirely, with the parts. Share the Festiva blessing!

              it runs just fine
              plenty of mods done: euro tail lights, swoopie mirrors, 88 interior, euro front headrests , full aspire brake swap, bored engine (1.5Lish?) with FMS cam and roller rockers, FMS lowering springs w/KYBs, honda rims with really good tires.

              rust is catching up, which i really don't feel like going back to my body shop roots.

              and more parts than i know what to do with





              and let me say some of the moderators here, just plainly vacuum donkey appendages

              won't sell it to someone who has a big back lot of festivas and no time to do anything with them.

                dude this sounds sweet. wish you lived closer. I would part it out man and then just junk the body for $100 or something. you can make alot of $$ if you have the space to store all the stuff... if you can send the engine USPS priority i;ll buy it...

                      Put it up for sale here first , Sell the parts here first.
                      Then part out if no takers , But sell here first.
                      If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

                        I tried asking permission to sell here a while ago , due to the countless rules but never got a response, to sell here.

                        what good are rules when they fall out of empty heads?
