    Craig - I went through the exact same thing with an 86 Grand Wagoneer several years ago and I learned my lesson. Bought it for a song, put a ton of work into it, and honestly it nearly ate me alive. Finally got done with it, and when it was time for it to go, oh how the parade of fools kept me busy day and night. I wound up loosing about 3 grand on it to just get it out of my life. That was the last time I bought something like that with the intention of reselling later. I believe that these types of vehicles appeal to a certain person these days and are best bought with the intention of keeping. They will never make another Fiero, Olds Toronado, or fill in the blank with whatever else from that era that floats your boat. Enough time goes by, and one of those countless people who thumbs up, hoots and hollers, and raves about your sweet fiero when you take it out will eventually ask you what it will take to buy it from you. I think the car needs to find the person...not the other way around. It is a niche car that has to find the right person. Personally, if I had that Fiero, I would have been sad to see it go and would have been happy to own it until the right opportunity presented itself that was mutually beneficial. Glad you finally sold it though and great story.

V6 with a sunroof...wait...did I lose you? Ok...so you started the video of the nostalgia of why you started your business, the nostalgia of what you did to this business...even showed your adorable son...yes, he IS adorable. It almost made me cry like I did watching Luke Skywalker appear on the Madolorian. And then....just like my wife that made me feel like shit for having an emotional reaction to a pop culture moment of yesteryear...your video, like Anni Skywalker, turned to the dark side and you began to berate me for wanting to connect with my past over a pop culture vehicle and made me feel bad for wanting to connect even with you. I mean, you come in to my home through the screen with all sorts of awesome videos and make me feel like I am important. Then I click like...and subscribe...just like I did with my wife...and the Fiero of yesteryear. And what have you done, sir? You have turned on me as has my wife has! ( that I also liked and subscribed to). And now, I realize, like my wife...you only want my attention for YOU, for YOUR channel, to only listen to YOU, like my wife. Jesus man...I think you could be my WIFE! I mean, almost 50,000 people have listened to THIS VIDEO and YOU...and I just listened to YOU basically tell me that you do NOT wish to listen to ME. IN closing, I jest..but there is ALWAYS a kernel of truth in jesting. Lighten up, bro. And if you do come across another Fiero GT automatic and clean like that one, let me know. I will buy it. After you show me some vids.

    I briefly had an '86 Fiero GT. Sold it for what I paid for it, so I lost nothing. As long as they are in decent shape, people will scoop'em up. I had to get a more "responsible" car for daily driving. The catching fire thing is fake news, only a few Iron Duke '84 Fieros had that problem, so don't let that scare people away. The only time I was "scared" to drive it, was cross country in the middle of winter, they are barely drive-able on ice and snow, without winter tires.

      @@1990padawan I've got an 86 with Iron Duke and 5 speed sitting in my back yard for about five years now. Body great and never been in an accident. I quit driving it because I bought an 88 GT with five speed, which is my current and ONLY driver. I've now driven a Fiero exclusively for 31 years....that is, of course, if I'm not on my motorcycle.

    Thank you. I feel your pain. Emotion is not good when you buy a car. If you like it too much you will pay too much for it. It's good when you are selling a car. If the customer likes it too much he will pay too much for it. To you cars are a business so you shouldn't get emotionally involved with them. I love to look at videos of Fieros. I wish I'd bought one back when. Not now. I like your videos.

    I sell auto parts for a living; in other words, I try to stay happy while dealing with unhappy folks because their cars are broken down... I've done this more than anything else since I started working. I have found that the Only way to enjoy my job is not allow others' feelings to affect my feelings. Yes, they Do affect my feelings, but I work at it not making my day go South. Find a way to enjoy helping others while helping yourself... If you can't do that, it doesn't matter how good you are at flipping cars, you are in the wrong business.... Be aware, I am lecturing myself while I am lecturing you.

    A Fiero is a niche car. Its like a Studebaker and only a Studebaker fanatic will want one. Remember, to a Hammer the whole world looks like a nail. In other words dont advertise to just any forum; stick w/the car club forums only. I dont know if you tried or not but the Fiero car clubs are who you shouldve marketed it through. With niche cars you have to hang out at their bbq hamburger hotdog get togethers. Plus, w/niche cars you are kindve stuck dealing w/ppl's feelings about the good ole days when they owned one, or had a friend that owned one. Next time you obtain a niche car (if there ever is a next time), test the Take Away technique. Prop it up on a ramp on your lot so everyone can see it w/shoe polish writing on the windshield, "Not For Sale: Display Only". Ppl always want what they cant have. When someone asks what you want for it simply respond, "Its not for sale, but I am a used car lot if your offer is right its yours but I really like it and dont wanna sell it". The fact it isnt for sale removes you from negotiations. Annnnndddd yes I do have a Fiero story; it all started back in 1987 when.......,

    I actually completely disagree with this video, I understand what you’re saying but I have had the opposite experience buying and selling Fieros. I’ve bought and sold 3 Pontiac Fieros in the past 9 months. I bought them all under $1,500 and sold them for $4,000. Every one of mine were over 100k miles and in worse condition then the one in your video. On the other hand I know where about 5 different Fieros are for sale locally and I guess those dealers are having similar experiences as you because those Fieros have been there between 3-6 YEARS... thank you for sharing your experience, I always find it interesting how differently some peoples experiences are to mine in selling cars, for example you said you excel in selling Tahoe’s, suburban’s, jeeps, etc. those are the ones I find hard to sell in my area and I easily sell the fun cars like Fieros. But I’m not a dealership either, I just buy and sell cars as a hobby. I install Windows for a living.

    These old modern classics are a nightmare to sell at a retail dealership. Everyone wants a brand new classic. Cars of that vintage, no matter how well they have been looked after, always have faults. They are problematic and without selling someone a warranty, which they never want, because the car is so cheap, will come back to bite you. People like the idea of buying a car from their youth, and always want to tyre kick and tell you their story. The only way retailers make it work, is to specialise in classics, buy the very best with a huge markup, where they can afford to sit in them. Because these dealers specialise in them, they get real buyers. An average dealer having one classic, just gets time wasters that see something interesting on your lot.

      @Peter Locke not only was in in fast and furious, but the new movie called “El Camino” features a gold Fiero. The movie is a Netflix original, I THINK. But it’s a spin off of the series Breaking Bad, which was VERY popular.. anyways it’s my 2 cents that this movie will also increase the interest in the Fiero and help make in an in demand classic again.

    Great video - welcome to the used car market where you have to deal with the car buying public. I don't know why you're "crying in your soup" - it's sorta like a car mechanic who repairs one problem on a car and a new one pops up out of nowhere. It's part of that game - Murphy's Law states - whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Some cars sell themselves and others just want to stay with you forever.
