Would you care to post a link to said vehicle?
I searched for quite awhile on Bring a Trailer and the only white T-Top '88 GT did not compare in any aspect to what you claim.

A friend of mine just sold his 1988 Formula and it was in pristine condition, with perfect paint, rebuilt suspension a custom leather interior,all new rubber, and some engine modifications. It was as clean as a Fiero could be and needed nothing. It was beautiful, a perfect 1 car. Sold for $6,000 to a collector in Wyoming. ------------------

The way I understand it the Bring a Trailer numbers are all in US funds therefore that GT brought about $13,000.00 Canadian. Not too far off from the asking price.
Decent car for the money. Undercarriage shows signs of it being stored on a humidity laden concrete floor though. Still a good buy though.
Thanks for the link.

I believe the answer to value of a Fiero is mileage then condition, condition, condition and year/model. You can still buy a decent 84-87 Fiero for $1500 -$2,000 but it won't be a show car. If you want a GT especially the 88 model year then prices rise accordingly. If you want a near new Fiero with say 200 miles on the OD I would say that car is going to sell for what it did when it was new. The Haggarty 1-5 ratings also play into the equation but thier prices are way off. ------------------

Most, if not all the previous discussion has been using US dollar figures, so $9300 US dollars is probably a little below what this beautiful car is probably worth. This just may be the current market in that area.
But, as stated above, many people today have never heard of a Fiero, so the demand for them isn't as high as maybe a GTO or a Trans AM, those cars being more recognizable. Most of the demand is probably from former and/or current Fiero owners seeking another.

Was it an automatic transmission?

obviously a lot will depend on your local market.
i was shopping for a new fiero this summer after deciding my 'project' was not worth saving after sitting for the better part of 15years. what i found, was that the market seems very divided here. you can get 'restored' fieros in good shape, but they are asking a lot for them. the other half are 'untouched' ones that are pretty used up, and while the prices are very reasonable for the most part, they seem like they are not in driving condition. trying to find a daily driver in decent shape of any mileage is actually very difficult right now.
i was lucky enough to find a recently restored 88gt with 100k kms for $7500 CDN. the story i was told was that the owner bought it from the guy who did the restoration (a retired enthusiast who does 1 or 2 fieros a year) for his son to drive. his son, being somebody born after 2000, was not at all interested in a 'sports' car from the 80's. He claimed to have paid around 12,000 CDN for it. according to records, he'd had it for almost a year, and put less than 3000kms on it. it's by no means a number matching, ultra low mile, museum collector piece. but compared to the fieros i grew up with, it's so clean i feel guilty about all the things i want to change.
i guess, the market for mint examples is growing. i still don't personally think a stock fiero is very fun to drive, it needs some 'touches' to really bring it up to today's standards. nevertheless, it appears enough people want to collect them to drive up the prices. maybe there's a lot of ppl like me who once loved the fiero because you could buy them so cheaply, and now we're established, it doesn't seem crazy to spend 10k on a 'just for fun' car, and i still have a lot of fond memories of driving a fiero as a teen. if the car was in a condition where it could be driven reliably, then maybe. but as soon as it's something that needs work, i think the price drops very fast.

An 88 GT with only 18K miles, 2nd owner since 5,000 miles (red exterior, beechwood interior, 5 speed, loaded, gold lace wheels, leather seats, driven every week) just sold near Atlanta. He was asking $16K, but it sold for $14.5K. It sold to the first guy who called, who was only 5 miles away. I was the 2nd guy, who is 1,000 miles away, so, missed out. The seller honored the first caller. I just wanted to show another example of asking and selling prices.
