This Festiva is being sold for PARTING OUT because of rust issues.
The Festiva engine is a Mazda B series noninterference engine, (if the timing belt breaks, no harm is done to the engine).
It has 145,686 miles.
Has an automatic transmission which we never had issues with. Since we owned it, we did have the fluid and filter changed in it.
We kept the oil changed every 3,000 miles
Gets approximately 35 miles per gallon.
Has A/C but we never got around to fixing it.
It has the original back compartment cover.
The tires are all good and still inflated, not flat.
All the locks work.
No cracks in windows.
We changed the calipers and rotors, but it has been sitting for 3 years.
The engine needs valve cover gaskets, they are oily.
The struts and springs on front are bad, axles possibly are bad also.
There is rust issues and mold on the inside.
Why we are selling it......
We had this Festiva on the road for 6 years, with no mechanical issues. But, something
developed possibly, electrical we couldn't seem to run out and find. It got so that it would start and run fine, and then quit and would not start back up. Our garage mechanics could not fine the issue.
We changed the air filter, pcv valve, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, fuel filter, fuel pump, but the problem still persisted. We now suspect that possibly the issue might be in the ignition control module in the distributor.
After towing it to several mechanics, we just gave up and sadly one of the windows got left open without us knowing it and it got wet inside and got moldy. We open the hatch to let it air out as much as possible and it seems to smell a bit better.
It does have a new battery but it needs a slow trickle charger to bring it back up.
We kept the car until now to take parts of it to keep our aspire on the road, but now we found another aspire to drive and will use the old aspire now for parts if we have to, so this needs to go and we also had to buy another car to which we are making payments on to basically replace this car.
This car is very rusty, especially underneath, but the engine, transmission etc are all good.
It isn't roadworthy, so you will have to bring a hauler to haul it off, even if it was up and running, it's too rusty underneath to trust out driving now.
Will load up more photos of under the hood later when I get the chance to take them.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
2016 Ford Focus RS mule spotted on US soil
Tue, 17 Jun 2014Okay Ford, this is what we like to see. One of our intrepid spy photographers has captured a vehicle that we weren't even sure would see the light of day - the next Focus RS. While this is pretty clearly a mule based on the current Focus ST, as our spy points out, there are a number of giveaways about this hot hatch's true nature.
Indication number one that all is not right with this Focus is the heavily camo'd front fascia, which has been completely reconfigured for duty on the RS. It boasts significantly larger grilles that are meant to accommodate what is likely the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder that's destined for the 2015 Ford Mustang. Considering that, then, we can expect around 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque from the hottest of Foci, although it's entirely possible that the production model could climb even higher, to around 330 hp.
The front fascia tweaks are complemented in the back by a modified rear bumper, which fails at hiding a pair of exhaust tips quite unlike the standard Focus ST's center-exit exhaust. Other obvious changes include the wheel/tire/brake package on this particular car. Larger 19-inch wheels are shod in super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 235/35/19 while the brakes feature what we think are four-piston calipers, possibly from Brembo, up front.
