1988 Pontiac Fiero Automatic 4 cyl - Not GT

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a running car.

SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY.There are many details about the condition of the car in the auction listing.This is a private sale and buyer’s remorse is not an option.This is a re-listing as THREE previous winning bidders failed to complete the purchase.We have had only one ’88 Fiero for sale and it has not been sold to another eBayer. We are happy to answer any questions to help you decide PRIOR to bidding.

This Fiero is a very presentable used car. It does need some mechanical work in order to return to running order. While we truly believe that no major work is necessary for it to be driveable, we can offer no warranties and the car is listed here AS IS.

We are not interested in a trade or Buy It Now.

Photos are of actual car:these photos are not Photo-shopped or altered.Car looks very nice for its age and the fact that it has been sitting for several years but the finish is not Super Shiny and New.Descriptions are as accurate as humanly possible.Thank you for your interest.

WHY WE ARE RE-LISTING: What we think eBay bidders should know.

Winning bidder on previous auction backed out of sale citing paint on vehicle would need greater attention than he originally thought. Original auction listing was honest and clear about substantial paint wear, especially on top surfaces of the car. We feel it is very important to portray this vehicle's condition as honestly and accurately as possible. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them.This car has sentimental meaning for the sellers and we would like it to go to an appreciative home.

Second and third auctions were won by new eBayers who did not read the listing before bidding and eventually reneged. Unfortunately, to avoid eBay charges for a "successful" eBay auction, we filed non-paying buyers reports. This was a reluctant but necessary action.
