Who writes these ads, anyway?
« on: February 01, 2020, 02:57:24 pm »
Here's another Fiero for sale on Facebook Marketplace. It's obvoiously not an 86 GT, obviously not the colors described, and if the heads are still removed, obviously not complete.
The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

I've seen that car.  I don't know where, but I remember that spoiler.  And it isn't an 86GT with white interior.  It's an 85GT with Dove Gray interior.

3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I agree.  I've seen that spoiler.

What's up with all the over priced Fiero's lately?  Or is it just me?

Not just you. Stuff that was $500 right months ago is now $2000. Good ones are still worth the money but people keep asking good car money for beaters.

My guess is the C8 has raised interest in Fieros and folks are trying to cash-in.

For $60K, a C8 is about twice what I have in my Fiero.  Only thing is, there is so much I dislike about the C8, and vehicles newer than about 2007.

Mike and I were talking this afternoon and he told me about a facebook market place ad for a blue 87 GT that the guy was asking $15000 for.

Well, if it has the C8 Z06 engine, transmission, suspension, and chassis, it may be worth that.
