As the heading said, this 1988 Ford Festiva is not a project. This creampuff has been my daily driver for the last 3 years. Odometer says 189k, but this needs nothing. When I purchased it, the clearcoat was almost completely
gone. But no dings, dents or rust. Not perfect, but pretty close. Had it resprayed about a year and a half ago. Recently had a new clutch and front end suspension parts replaced. Oil change and
radiator flush. Had a complete tune up about a year ago. At that time the compression was excellent across all cylinders. This car has NEVER let me down. Started every morning. Kick ass Jensen HD Stereo with Ipod cable.
If your familiar with these cars you know how much fun they are to drive and pretty indestructible. Being the LX model, it's got the intermittent wipers, split back seat, rear defrost, and underseat tray.
I've been getting 34ish mpg in town (I'm a spirited driver). Usually you'll see these on Craigslist in all forms of condition (rusted, beat up, modified ect.), but this is stock and straight.
I'll include the Ford Shop Manual, Chilton Manual and receipts. I'll also include a never installed stock rear hatch spoiler. Sorry - No A/C.
I will assist in facilitating shipping if needed (buyer pays for cost of shipping). If your considering a Yaris, Smart, Fiat 500 ect. save your money! Seriously, this is one sweet car.
You know the drill. For sale locally, so auction can end early. Serious Offers Only.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
