We posted a Festiva Two-Fer back in June, and the rest is history. Well, yet another such ad has appeared! It seems cars like this often come as pairs. This has LeMons potential with a healthy dose of price negotiation.
The seller is asking $1,000 for both cars. Two cars for $1K sounds decent, but these are non-running Festivas. We think about $500 for both is reasonable, but does a LeMons team need a parts car and does that count toward $500 for the raced vehicle? Hmm. Maybe the best bet for going racing (LeMons or autocross) is to buy the red car – the alloy wheels are a plus and might make finding decent tires easier (?). The only bad news here is that a cool company called Festiva Motorsport shut down a while back – they were a great source for all things related to Festiva/Aspire performance (yes, there is such a thing!).

I have two ford festivas one is 88 and the other is 89.
Both cars are manual transmission.
88 festiva is red and in the middle of a diy paint job. Was used as a daily commuter car until one day it wouldnt start a few days ago registered til april on 2014. Car turns but wont start and I killed the battery trying to start it recently. The rims are 13 and I would like 145 for them..
I bought the 89 blue festiva this year and got it an incomplete registration because I couldnt smog it.. was going to use it for parts car to keep the other running.. I managed to kill the battery on this one also trying to start the other one..
The 88 red festiva has a little over 220k miles original engine and on the body..
The blue 89 has 178500 miles on it..I probably put less than 5 miles since I got it.
I would like to sell for 1000 for both or make your offer. I dont have the time to fix them and would like to free up garage space. Dont be shy ask me and make offer 714 xxx xxx
