1988 Pontiac Fiero Description

1988 Pontiac Fiero Automatic Not GT THIS IS NOT A RUNNING CAR

SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY. There are many details about the condition of the car listed: PLEASE READ ENTIRE AUCTION DESCRIPTION. This is a private sale and buyer’s remorse is not an option. This is a re-listing as two 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.

THIS IS NOT A RUNNING CAR. IT IS NOT A GT OR A RACING CAR. WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN A TRADE OR BUY IT NOW.

Photo is of actual car: 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.

We have cancelled one listing for this car after bidding ended because winning bidder examined the car and backed out because he expected the paint to be able to be buffed. Paint condition was accurately described in the auction listing and also during conversation with winning bidder. Decision to back out was not discussed with us and buyer left without paying or announcing either his arrival at residence or his departure. We cancelled the bid. We did not report bidder as a non-paying buyer.

Second listing resulted in buyer who did not read the description and expected a running car. Initially promised to respect the eBay process and complete the transaction, making appointment to pick up car. Bidder did not cancel the appointment but backed out without discussion or communication during the day appointed for completing the purchase. We filed a non-paying buyer report.

Winning bidder is expected to abide by contract and complete the purchase of this vehicle. It deserves an informed, honest and responsible owner. Please be respectful of us as sellers.
