well giving the car away at 1500$, it's a vin matching Formula low production built in 1987 for the year of 88. has a bunch of new stuff: leather seats, tires, rims, shocks, springs, alternator, and more. has some engine issue which I think is something simple had it fixed once and now its running like a duke. I have new fuel injectors for it. have the original owner's manual, maintenance schedule, visor cover, and other stuff. car is pretty much rust free.

Seriously, a third sale thread for the same car, just since 4/14/15?

//www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/071687.html

//www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/071825.html

From being curious, I'm beginning to wonder. No additional pics, not really responses to questions, nothing for seemingly interested persons, and the original threads abandoned. It would seem that a good car with a sincere seller would be a bit more steady.

Shark I've responded to all inquires and emails any interested persons with plenty of pictures. I need it to sell and it hasn't. I guess I'm sorry that I've haven't posted PM returned after every message

Ok. I'm guessing that hasn't worked, thus far. Try something different. Can you post more pics, or a different pic?

I can't tell you how often I've gone to look at a Fiero, and couldn't reconcile the pic online with the car I saw. I would love for this car to sell, if for no other reasons than for the price to stop going down and there not be additional sale threads on it every 2 weeks.

Honestly, I don't like to see threads full of PM sent, PM replied. If there is a private conversation, I don't want to know about it. It's like whispering in class.

Anyway, you've apparently lost your enthusiasm for this Fiero, and it comes across strongly. That's unfortunate, but use it as a strength. You can objectively show your Fiero for what it is, rather than oversell for what you want it to be, or what it could be, resulting in buyer dissappoints.

The Fieros that sell aren't necessarily the most pristine, the most complete, the most or least expensive, or whatever; rather, they are those that the buyer just couldn't pass up. I would dearly love to have a red Fiero some day, not that I could ever drive it.

If you encourage people to focus on your car in the thread by keeping the conversation and pics there, it shows interest, encourages enthusiasm...and bumps your thread to the top. Oh, and it doesn't seem like there's something to hide.

I can't tell you how often I've gone to look at a Fiero, and couldn't reconcile the seller's pics or description with the car I saw. This is infuriating. Think what you would want if you were a potential buyer. I missed out on perhaps my dream Fiero recently. I didn't get my questions answered in time, but the seller generated enthusiasm, and there was another buyer. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Also, use a different pic. Don't post a pic of a nice Fiero next to a beautiful Corvette. The eye naturally goes to the Corvette with the nicer paint job.

A couple of questions. What are the 3 holes between the bottom of the tail lights and the license plate? What is that silver thing by the right decklid hinge?

No, it can't be a decal. The thing in the pic with the decklid open. It looks like a silver hose.

Follow the hose from the thermostat housing forward to the window. That hose goes down, and another one goes up. A small silver hose.

there's a wiring harness back there with insulation that's silver or you might be looking at the wiring into the deck lid which might look slightly silver due to the angle of them. here's the RPO codes I said I'd post too. this car was better optioned then I thought.

tshark --- If you're talking about what I circled, I think that's just the firewall insulation.

That is the wiring harness for the decklid. The rubber grommet has been pulled out, so the individual wires are exposed.
