Would you guys mind sharing the contact information here?



The contact would be through Facebook messenger. That's how it works.

Here's what I can tell you. The sellers name is Joe Edward Lucas. His current city is listed as Mentor, Ohio but he states the car is in New Port Richey, Florida.

Ugh... damnit... Port Richey is close to me. It's literally an hour away. Damnit damnit...

Why do you people do this to me? Haha...

Man... I love that car. Can someone here save it? Please don't make me buy it.

For an earlier car, I always liked the original notchie look w/ a V6. Kind of like this with the saddle interior but w/ a 4spd.

This thing is pretty well loaded.

MarkS, Yes, that is exactly what I like, but with the standard transmission.
So the 84 Fiero that had me all excited but had poor running Iron Duke, I had him video car running and it had an awful knocking sound, price came down to $4,000.
This week I saw a 1993 Z28 Camaro (not my favorite year) for $5,500 listing was gone next day. I then saw an 84 Fiero very nice looking with a whole bunch of new parts for $6,000 listing was gone next day. Two others that I asked serious questions about. One (at a dealership) I told them that the statement, "runs and drives", is to vague. The other one I asked about rust. Neither responded and listing was gone next day.
Just a little flustered. My neighbor has an 85 Corvette for $5,500 so there are lots of choices out there just not what I want to spend money on yet. Just rambling.

I am just quiet, not gone.
Life gets busy. I had hoped to drive an hour in West Michigan and hand someone $4,000, now I'd still be happy at handing them $6,000. I got busy so have not even looked (I can't drive 2hrs to look at/find it's a piece of junk) at one in person yet. Saw one $3,200 and very nice looking, then listing says, "back 10"s of frame is rusted". I am driving a 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ Classic and very much want to stop putting miles on it during the summer. My Jeep is a constant project, yet an equivilent would be $8,000 and still be a project by next spring, so I keep working on my current one.
The idea of a Fiero caught my attention so I am not going for an easy Firebird.

Ok, so I have money to hold a car. Maybe paid for if bank moved fast. Paperwork maybe Tuesday.
Exactly what I was looking for. The Fiero I have always liked is how they first appeared. 1984, red, luggage rack, 4speed and Iron duke. For good or bad it is the picture in my head. Patiently waiting.

Lostpuppy1962, someone in this thread should have told you.

Fieros are like Lays Potato Chips. No one has just one.

To you Florida area peeps, once, while visiting my Dad, I went to look at a front steering cradle on the Atlantic coast, loaded. Rust bucket. Drove over a hundred miles one way. Drove back empty handed. Yet did get a pristine one on the Gulf coast.

My advise to anyone who decides to purchase a Fiero is to first understand that you are buying a 30+ yr old antique automobile. You must also know where to look for rust. I need not repeat it but read TheDigitalAlchemists post again. He covers it well. Chances are that no matter how good it looks you will need to rebuild/replace the engine and clutch. If you chose to buy you will be joining a Fiero Community a group of great folks.
