| $39,995 Cdn for a 24,000 mile Fiero in British Columbia might be a little optimistic. (Page 1/5) |

Hey, if it helps to increase the value of Fieros across the province (and elsewhere)... I can dig it.

Lol! I originally had "Maybe Patrick will add this to his collection..." after the thinker emoji, but deleted it before I posted.

Heh heh... if anything, I plan to cull the herd in 2020. Unfortunately, all my Fieros combined wouldn't be worth anywhere near $39,995 Cdn. lol

This has scam written all over it. The exact car just sold out of Victoria (Wheaton GM) barely a month ago on Bring A Trailer for $9300 USD after languishing in their showroom all summer at just over $15K Cdn... now this ad pops up using all of Wheaton's photographs at a ridiculous price on UsedVic.
https://bringatrailer.com/l...atched_listing_ended
I don't understand the mind of an internet scammer... I know they're phishing for e-mail addresses to sell but doing it this way will only gather e-mails from folks responding to the ad to say that the seller is out of their mind. How many are going to do that? OK, I thought about it but decided to report the ad Used.ca instead.
UsedVictoria (and Used.ca) is getting really bad for this kind of thing, so bad that I honestly don't use it anymore even though I used to religiously. It was a great resource but now it's riddled with scammers. Too bad.
There are two Porsche 928s on the website too... both were listed the same day, one at $3000 and the other at $4500. Two days later they were at $30000 and $45000 respectively. Likely the same "phisherman" waiting to pounce on people replying to say they're insane.

It's not 24,000 "miles", it's 24,000 kilometers which is under 15,000 miles. Just how many '88 GT's exist today then, how many of those could be around in an area called British Columbia?
Also $40,000.00 in Canadian is less than $30,000.00 US.
The price is right for what it is.[This message has been edited by Thunderstruck GT (edited 12-30-2019).]

Disregard the kilometers in the section immediately under the picture (which is the Canadian ad format); this is from the description section:
Original USA vehicle, with only 24,000 miles. Documentation on hand.

Yes 24000 miles is around 40000 km. If I was buying any year of used car that would only barely pass to me as low km. I see lots of one and two year old cars with 12 to 20 thousand km on them. That is low mileage. The price is rediculous. Especialy since it is a USA car being sold in Canada. [This message has been edited by wftb (edited 12-30-2019).]
