1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula Coupe 4.9l V8 on 2040-cars
Saint Charles, Missouri, United States
1988 Pontiac Fiero - Formula Coupe – 4.9L
V8 $9,000 This is a very nice '88 Fiero Formula with Cadillac 4.9L V8 and 4T60e automatic transmission w/OD. If you’re looking for a clean well-kept Fiero with the ‘right’ amount of power then this is it. The Cadillac 4.9L V8 with aluminum block is a great power plant for the Fiero’s size and weight. And the 1988 Formula is the perfect year/model for this combination. It's the usual story… I spent a lot of money on this car and now my interests/priorities have changed. So as they say, someone will get a great deal as I'll never recover all the money spent. The car is in great condition, very clean overall, runs and drives very well. Garaged for much of its life. The interior is original, so expect to see some of the usual wear. Paint is in very good condition except fading on top of the rear wing, and chipping around the sunroof. The engine swap was professionally performed at the well-known Ed Parks’ Fiero Factory in Toney Alabama. All work was done correctly using their custom wiring harness, mounts/brackets, and exhaust system. The battery is relocated to the front of the car under the spare tire. All switches, gauges, & lights work correctly. Donor Engine and Transmission are from a 1992 Cadillac DeVille. Mileage on car is 75,5xx (vehicle/odometer mileage). Mileage on engine is 48,9xx (engine mileage) Current Inspection - July 2014
This is a used vehicle and is being sold 'as-is' without any warranty or guarantee expressed or implied.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
