Kinja'd!!!

This is my dad’s new-to-him Fiesta from Carvana. It’s not an ST, but it’s still adorable and sporty all in one, and that’s always a great combination.
My girlfriend got his old car, the blue Kia Spectra there, as soon as he picked up the Fiesta. It’s not as exciting, but she loves it. She still calls it my dad’s car, but that will change soon enough, I’m sure.

One question, though.... Does anyone know if aftermarket headlights exist for the Spectra? One is cracked open and the other is yellowed beyond repair, so I really want to replace them for her. I’ll buy standard ones if I need to, but I’m just curious if there are any HIDs or even something different that just looks cool. I can’t find any, but figured I’d ask.

I always have had a soft spot for the non ST Fiesta

Any feedback on the Carvana experience?

Congrats to them, maybe try the Pull-A-Part on Buford Hwy for replacement headlights. There is the risk that any there are also yellowed, but you could get lucky and score a pair for $50. Either way, it’s fun to walk thru, and you could always make it worth your time by getting a few parts off other cars to resell on ebay.

Especially a hatch. I see lots of sedans for some reason. I assume they must be cheaper.

It’s because “normal” people don’t like hatches

Yeah, I’m going to head down there as soon as they have the correct year/s in stock. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone, anyway.

So far, so good. The car looks exactly like it did online, it showed up pretty quickly, and it came with some $500-off coupons to share. It’s a bit odd not getting to see it until after purchasing it, but they do take it back if we decide it’s not the right fit.
