Every time someone lists all the parts they've changed in a for sale ad (sometimes as a justification of the price), that means the car is a POS.
The parts that
have been changed represent the tip of the iceberg of problems.
For example, brake line replacement is a negative, not a plus. Brake line replacement means generalized severe corrosion underneath the car. So were the wishbones sandblasted and painted? Coolant tubes? Rocker panels? Floors? No mention of these items, so it is wise to assume that they are all crusty.

I bet the photos in the ad are almost as old as the car.

My OBO would be a bit lower than his asking price but would be somewhat more realistic. Nelson

I'm guessing this is the old "sorry honey, it didn't sell" tactic.

Only logical answer.... except every once in a while you see one sell on eBay for a crazy price and then I think it's money laundering.

People! Remember one thing... It's being sold in Canada. $35,000.00 is like $2,174.62 in US dollars with the exchange rate where it is.

I could maybe see it if he had documented proof it was the Fiero used in the filming of Ferris Bueller's Day Off or something similar. Of course if that was the case I'd also expect it to have less mileage on it to.
