Fiero Price Guide
This price guide will be updated every 6 months or so, to stay current. Include minor variations for mileage, options, and location.
Vehicle Classification Structure:
One of the first steps in determining the value of any car is to consider the condition and use of the vehicle. Use the categories below to help establish a classification for the vehicle you are considering.
Category 1:
Superior - This class of vehicle is never driven and probably has less than about 5000 miles on the odometer. It has been restored or maintained to the maximum professional standards of condition and quality in every aspect of the car. All components operate perfectly. Entire vehicle appears as new. This type of vehicle is not used as an automobile, but is used as a show car and observation piece. It is transported in an enclosed trailer and is rarely exposed to any outside elements. When not displayed, this type of vehicle is stored in a climate controlled environment. Vehicle paint is original, or painted in exactly the same manner as originally done by the manufacturer. Wheels, tires, bodywork, interior, glass, and mechanicals are all original equipment or replaced with exact OEM pieces. There are hardly any category 1 Fieros, I have encountered only one (which was about 5 years ago).
Category 2
Excellent - Superior restoration or superbly maintained. Vehicle shows very few signs of wear, all equipment functions properly. Vehicle includes all service and maintenance records. Vehicle is driven no more than about 1000 miles a year. Primarily used as a show car. Many category 2 cars can appear as category 1, until a closer inspection. These are 1st place show cars. Paint is in very good condition, car appears like new. These cars rarely show up at Fiero meets, but they do exist.
Category 3
Very Good - Very presentable car. All features function properly. Vehicle may show signs of minor wear, but nothing obvious. Pedals, carpet, interior, body, and interior may shows signs of mild use, but all appear in good condition. This car may be used as a weekend cruiser, but not used in commuting. Vehicle is garaged most of the time and is often considered a spare car. This car needs nothing more than a car wash to look very presentable. For Fieros, this is about as good as it gets without investing in a major restoration. Nearly all show cars are a category 3.
Category 4
Good - A daily driver that needs very little work. Vehicle is completely usable, although one or two features may need servicing or repair. This car does need some work, but can be used for reliable transportation. Exterior may have fading paint, tires might be worn, and the seats may have signs of wearing. Fieros that are used for commuting will likely fall into this category.
Category 5
Restorable - Needs restoration and complete servicing. Most likely running, but wouldn't be considered reliable transportation. A category 5 vehicle usually has high mileage (over 100,000) and may have minor body damage or interior wearing/damage. This is not considered a parts car, it can be driven. Nearly all of the parts are included and the vehicle hasn't been weathered very much. These are Fieros you could probably find in your local paper for about $500-$1500. There is the possibility of restoration. These vehicles have NOT been wrecked.
Wrecked or Damaged
Parts Car - Anything worse than a category 5, and the car should be used for parts. It might be running, but because of frame damage or extensive use, the vehicle isn't working as it should. Most likely, this car is incomplete, and wouldn't be used for restoration. These cars are on their way to the junkyard.
- 95% of all Fieros I encounter are a category 3 or higher. Most are
a category 3.
- It is possible for a Fiero to fall in between categories. This is
most common with very good category 4 cars, which may have many
cateogry 3 qualities. Use these as estimates.
PRICE GUIDE
The following price guide is based on private market sales, NADA listings, and Old Cars Price Guide data. These prices are for stock Fieros only! There are a few sales that are made above the results listed below, but there aren't enough to effect the average very much. There is an '88 GT subculture that believes a fair asking price is $10,000 or more. If you pay that for say, a 70,000 mile '88 GT, you've just given the owner a healthy profit. As with any car, there are always a few owners that feel they own something rare and unique. An accompanying price is bound to follow. It is your choice if you think it is worth paying what they're asking. And as always, final sale prices are between the buyer and seller.
