Yes, it was Tuesday, and I didn't have time to go pay for it yet, and I still have to find space for it, however, its a blue 1992 Ford Festiva, in very good condition, tucked away in the corner of the junkyard like a sweater from grandma.

These last couple days, I've been questioning my motive for wanting it, though. Aside from not having any rust, and looking like it underwent spring maintenance before being put in the yard, it's an automatic (does run and drive, will verify before purchase). It has oe 12" alloy, in good shape, and the minute I get it, I'm going to want to tear that transmission out and put a manual/diesel set in it.

It also doesn't have a title, which shouldn't be a problem for me. While spotting it, I found a rusty Metro 3 cylinder with nearly new 155/80R13 tires. I may ask him to throw those tires into the deal before making a final decision.

I'll address your other questions in another reply.
