Ok, I've had like a thousand people interested in this car offering me tons of trades and lowballing and never able to come up with the money, so let's try one more time. I have a very nice looking 1987 headturning Fiero with non-factory paint, a sharp orange. It has very low miles (76k) and starts right up, runs well, and shifts well. It is bone stock besides a polyurethane dog bone. The car is 26 years old, and has held up very well for being that old. It would make a good daily driver or project for motor swap, etc. It is by no means perfect, but every cosmetic issue it has could be fixed for under a grand according to the pricing I've done, which would make it nearly mint. It's a gorgeous looking, rare car. I will list every little thing I can possibly think of that is wrong with it. It is a manual transmission (5spd) and I replaced the clutch and slave cylinder 2 years ago which cost me $1400. I am the fourth owner, have clean title in hand. There are no dents or scratches. There is no rust on the body because the body is all plastic or fiberglass. The frame has minimal surface rust compared to most I've seen. I only drive this car once every two weeks or so, and I'm only selling it for room. I don't need the money, and I'm not desperate. I'm really more interested in cash than trades, though I will consider interesting ones. The car has power windows and locks and mirrors which all work. The radio and all speakers work. The pop up headlight motors work, which is semi-rare. Tread is good on the tires. I will list everything wrong with it now.

Paint-90% of the car is shiny and beautiful. The one portion around the sunroof and windshield pillars is starting to crack. And there is one small section on a piece of body molding on the driver's door that has chipped away as well. You don't see any of this unless you're close.

Window outer weather stripping-the window seals on the outside work fine but are cracked and ugly in my opinion.

Sunroof-(btw I have an extra sunroof) the seal around the sunroof needs to be replaced which is cheap. It doesn't leak but it's warped and will leak someday if not fixed.

Rear deck-the springs are worn out and the deck has to be propped. The seal that goes around the inner trunk is starting to rip and eventually will need replacing.

Interior-The interior is almost perfect except the seats. The drivers seat is torn up badly and there's a rip in the passenger seat. The rest of the interior is clean and beautiful. The seats need to be reupholstered or replaced. My leather guy said $300 for vinyl or $500 for leather. Craigslist and ebay have seats for anywhere from $50-150 usually.

Speedometer-The speedometer goes crazy. The needle goes back and forth and doesn't work properly. I bought the car this way and never bothered fixing it. The tach and all other gauges work properly. My mechanic did a diagnostic and said it's just a bad gauge.

A/C-worked when I bought it but blows warm now. Needs a recharge. But windows down works great and the sunroof lifts right out and can be stored under front hood.

Windows-The windows work fine but go down very slowly. It's been this way since I bought it 4 or 5 years ago.

Misc-The steering wheel shaft wiggles a bit and has some play. My mechanic said it's not worth it to fix and doesn't affect how it drives. He stated that it's a simple problem to fix, but complicated to take the whole thing apart.

Driver's door-for some reason the key won't open the driver's door, only the passenger door. So I've always had to open that one and hit the unlock button from that side. I've never gotten it checked out, because I didn't care about it much.

I think that's about it. The battery has been replaced recently. Oil has been changed every 2500-3,000 miles. Goes down the road great. It's like a little go cart for the road. I love this car, but I have 2 kids now and no space for both this and my motorcycle. I purchased it for $3,800 4 years ago with 62k on it and only has 76k on it total now. Then I had to stick $1,400 into it, so whoever can come up with the dang money is getting a deal.

My name is Jon. You can contact me via text or call any time on my cell which is 215.888.5129 or use the e-mail on here.  Thanks for looking. Any questions let me know.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
