If it starts and runs and you can get it into gear, I might say $1000.
That would be based upon the premise that I'm interested in anything earlier than an 88, which I'm really not. (All my skills and spare parts are "88".)

it starts right away, runs no problem and goes into gear. the power window and mirror switches didn't work (fuse??) but the power locks cycled no problem the gas tank needle was also buried to the full side to the point you couldn't see it, maybe stuck? drivers side rear caliper has a leak and minor engine seal leaks byut engine sounded strong. 0 rust

I was thinking 1500 or so, but that's just me. I've always liked the 85 GTs.

With the lights up in every picture I am going to guess they do not work. Something else to discount the price. Are you looking to buy this one or sell it. I am going to guess buy since it is an auction page. If you can inspect the car before the auction pull the carpet on the sides of the trunk and look for rust holes.. Fieros love to rust there. If they salt the roads in the frozen North I would expect there to be rust in a lot of places. In the end I would not go much over 1200 US (what ever that is in funny Northern money) and that price is Alot of you loving 85 Gts .

Haha too funny. Yes I inspected it no rust at all one owner. Doesn't appear to have been driven in winter at all. It is a trustee sake so someone died. I agree though 2k Canadian tops

Just realized it was a Canadian car. I thought it had 140k+ miles!

Agree with that number in Canadian dollars.

Well I was at the auction today and it sold for $2800 USD!! More than it's worth. I guess problem is that these cars are scarce up here!

Yep, could be a regional issue.

Someone has an 85 GT with 81k miles for sale here locally for $800, so don't feel bad about losing out at 2800. Same color and everything.

Very rare in the rust belt.....and worth the extra money to a lot of people.

As someone else on the forum said . . . everyone bitches about the Fiero being underappreciated, then folks here declare a car is worth peanuts when asked.

In looking at asking and going prices, it feels like a corner is being turned on these cars. They will never be Chevelle SS's or Corvette Stingrays, but I think we have seen the bottom of the market and will continue to see them appreciate going forward, albeit slowly. Particularly those that are babied or low(er) mileage.

And especially the sought-after models like the '88 GTs. The areo-nosed and notchback styles will be right behind that . . . and having the "GT" branding that came with the '85 will help.

I still think it was too much even in the rust belt! It's a small group of fiero enthusiasts around here but we also know the going prices. With 3800 Canadian is a little high for the km and the unknown issues with the engine light on etc. I bought my mint rust free 40mile 87 GT for 7 k Canadian
