Yes, indeed...nice formula. 
The gauges look suspicious, true. 4cyl gauges...
The formula does have the original tires which makes it quite interesting that the miles do reflect the history. Meaning a low milage fiero.
I would buy a fiero with original tires any day, but would replace them after purchase. It confirms its originality.------------------

Perhaps....except I went junkyard hunting today and an 87 GT had 2 Eagle GT+4 tires on it with like new tread (correct sizes for one front and one rear). It was quite strange. I though the 88 GTs were the only ones that had the GY EGT+4s, and the pre-88s had EGTs. Yet this car had been driven 65Kmi but had those original tires. I suspect the owner stored the original rims, and put them back on when he sold the car to the junkyard. Could be easily done with any Fiero to trick a buyer. Buy some original tires or store the originals and drive on another set of rims.

Also I could have bought those tires from the yard for like $20 probably. Guessing as I've never bought tires before from a yard.

Correct, original tires are a good, but far from perfect indicator of actual mileage. Fiero odometers are dead simple to roll back or replace. Anyone can unplug the speed sensor for 10-12 years, then plug it back in and put a car up for sale.
I look at wear patterns on the pedals, carpet, overall "tightness" of hinges, suspension, number of stone chips, etc. Far better indicator of actual mileage than the odometer
