$27,752

This Fiero has been listed for 111 days... and they've dropped the price a whole $100

I don't know why the ad states the mileage as 123 multiple times when the odometer clearly shows 10,565 miles.

The 5-spd Manual transmission is also listed as an Automatic 3-Speed in one area of the ad.

quote Originally posted by Skybax: I know I have touched on this subject before, and I have to be careful of what I say because of my occupation, but many or most of these "classic car dealers" have a simple business model, which is to ask double what Fair Market Value is, because you can't use the term "worth" because the same car is worth more or less depending on the individual. Fair Market Value is a bell-curve showing what the majority of people would be willing to pay for any vehicle. So for example, I evaluated a late 60's Chevelle SS396 convertible last week for $60k, claimed to be restored and numbers matching. Long story short, both doors were very difficult to open, body gaps terrible, original suspension not restored, loose dash, half electronics didn't work, engine vin was a re-stamp, and so on. Basically it was a $30k pos at best. These establishments get cars from everywhere and anywhere, some are smart buyers and some are not, some are floor plans some are owned outright, some are backed and some are consignment. They often have both nice cars and crappy cars in their inventory, but the one thing that remains consistent is the price/greed, anywhere from 50% to 100% above FMV, and why smart buyers avoid these places. That's why these places popped up like pizza shops all over the country the last 10 years, because the guys in the car business with small profit margins figured out there was a ton a money to be made on these old cars because there is no oversight like there is with late model vehicles. Basically marking them way over market value, dominating the classifieds with false perceptions, making $10k to $20k on a flip doing minimal work, claiming its a #2 car when in reality its a #4 car, selling that old unsafe pos to some poor sob who has been waiting for decades to buy their dream car, and its not even safe for the road, with zero remorse or accountability. How do I know? Because I investigate the fraud in this industry every week, its bad and its sad. Anyone is better off buying an old specialty car from a private seller/enthusiast who has owned the car for a long time and avoid these places if you can.

Thanks, your exactly right Skybax. Buy from a private seller or enthusiast is the way to go.
Those are the people who most likely know the history of the car, more than these dealer bought
vehicles that have no knowledge on the car or history.
Their just there to make a profit. No care for the customer. And no interest either.
Its sad that this mentality today has become the way to do business.
