I invited him on the site. If he lists it as a turbo then we'll have a problem. It was a nice car and would have fetch a nice amount on ebay.

Im a little miffed too, I always just figured that box sitting over there was a turbo myself. Never paid it much mind, I just kept changing turbo filters when ever one got dirty.Originally posted by xpnsyd

My email to him this time..
Why do you insist on listing this car as a Festiva Turbo, when it is not? It has a turbo stripe from a different car that's all.
This car will sell for 5-800 easily without trying to say it's a turbo.But if it does sell,and it was advertised as a turbo car, buyers don't have to pay you. But you do have to pay ebay.
FACTS:
All Festivas models came as L,LX,GL or in 92 the GL Sport.
They were manufactured by KIA motors under a Ford contract using Mazda engines and design. These cars do get great gas mileage. The car came with a 63hp L4 1.3 engine. B3 is the engine code. These cars if taken care of average 300,000 miles.
Feel free to use any or all of these facts on your listing. But pull the Turbo listing and say someone put a Turbo stripe on it. That's the honest thing to do.

I emailed him and his girlfriend responded and asked why it's not a turbo. I responded with why it isn't and she then replied "Thank you so much for your prompt response. I will speak to him and encourage him to do a revision. Wish me luck."
Sounds like he's hard headed.

The response I got was about the same.
Thank you. I will speak to my boyfriend who listed this item when he gets back. Thank you for the supportive information in your e-mail and with his OK, may use in what seems to be an expected revision...Comment

Sounds like he is a moron.Comment

Well that or he doesn't want to admit that someone made him look stupid in front of his peers by convincing him the VAF was a turbo. I kind of feel sorry for him..Originally posted by mattswabb
Reminds me of a recent American Hotrod episode where they had the noob shaking the spray cans all day. Telling him to keep going until the bearing noise stopped. That guy shook that can all freakin day!!! Then he put it on a paint shaker and they convinced him he screwed up by doing so and told him to start a new can. Man, but that was some funny stuff... :lol:Comment
