$39,995 Cdn for a 24,000 mile Fiero in British Columbia might be a little optimistic. (Page 2/5)

Maybe the owner's wife told him to thin out the herd, but he wanted to keep his Fiero.

With an exorbitantly priced ad, he can tell the wife that he tried to sell the car (thus pleasing her), while getting to keep our favorite sports car.

Also $40,000.00 in Canadian is less than $30,000.00 US.

The price is right for what it is.




Then the selling price of $9300 USD last month must be extra right then.

A friend of mine test drove this car in September when it was still at Wheaton GM... said it was a nice example but just felt like a 24,000 mile used car that had been sitting around for a while somewhere. Nothing special or loved, just nice.

I stand by my observation that the ad is a scam.

I'm happy if prices stay in the toilet, it keeps spares prices down. Who wants to pay $500 for a hood or other part because these have become 'collectable'
I've seen enough of these car restoration shows on TV to know I can't afford (and don't want ) to pay 150 grand to restore a car, cheap is good in my book and if these cars stay under the radar, all the better as far as I am concerned.

Anything I might say is probably worth what you paid for it, so treat it accordingly!

$42695 fiero also in BC just sold!
Fiero values across the country are on the rise! Many from $20-$35,000 wow!

This fiero on Used Vancouver $35,000?

Now I don’t know about you? But I am use to seeing nice condition 88 GT’s go for $8000-$11000?
But maybe there is something to this? I also fondly remember when you could buy a 76-81 trans am for $3000-$5000 and drive them like you stole them ! Now you can’t find a good one for less than $60000! So some time in there, without our noticing the prices must have risen gradually to what they are today. Is that what is happening here?

A fool and their money are soon parted. I can get a very nice used Porsche Cayman for 40,000.00 CDN. I have not checked Fiero prices lately but 600 of these built is not very rare. I do not collect cars, I work on them and drive them. So a so called rare car that I would just put a tarp over in a shed does not appeal to me.

You can get a nice Cayman for less than that, a lot less. I sold my 2007 Cayman base 5-speed back in July for $20,000 Cdn... car needed nothing. Had four new Continental tires too! Looking around Craigslist Vancouver, there are several Gen1 Caymans listed between $20K and $30K Cdn right now. That is so much sportscar for the money however they do need to be maintained like the $60K car that they were born as, and they have many potentially fatal and expensive Achilles heels. And that's why I sold mine.

Just more examples of the scam-creep infecting Used.ca posted above. That website has had it if they don't get a handle on this.

I don’t know why some of you are getting upset? I don’t know about you, or anyone else.. but I choose to believe from what I have seen, and what I am currently seeing, that these Fiero’s are slowly rising in value. They are not a poor man’s option anymore. Personally I am glad to see prices on the rise! I am proud of my Fiero, and to think it may be worth a decent penny makes me hopeful that finally these are beginning to get the recognition that they deserve.
Just my opinion.
