How about a Festiva? This Kia-built beauty has potential, but we worry that bidding might exceed the 24 Hours of Lemons limit of $500. These have Mazda engines and a bit of an autocross following.
The ad text is more than a little entertaining, including such quotes as:
“HAS NEW BATTER”
“IT SEAMS LIKE IT FLOATS NOT SURE, I MIGHT JUST BE USE TO A BIGGER VAN.”
“YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 24 YEAR OLD CAR. IT IS NOT PERECT.”
“THIS CAR IS NOT A FIESTA”
True, but it is a party.

Black steelies with lost hubcaps are all business.
Bare bones interior means there’s less to go break. Manual trans is a must.
This shot is the main reason this car is here – we love shots including extra parts (such as this alternator) inside vehicles. That ‘spate’ might be for a different car?
