Sent e-mail. The ad says Scranton but the map shows Cincinnatus, NY. That's where my parents live. How much are these really worth, anyway??

Just caught the gear pattern on the center console. Is that really a 4sp??

Yup - early manual Fiero's were 4 spd's.

The person e-mailed me back. Here it is: I am located about 35 minutes east of Binghamton, NY. This Fiero is in good shape and only has 75,000 miles on her. The engine cradle needs to be replaced due to some deterioration under the battery compartment on the passenger side. My mechanic would not let it pass inspection due to this issue. The quote I received for a new cradle and installation was about a 1000 dollars. I am not in a financial position to have it repaired. The car is in great shape except for this issue. My home number is 607-863-4668..looking forward to hearing from you.

Sounds pretty honest. Also sounds negotiable.

FWIW, that phone number is Cincinnatus, NY. That may be the reason for the map issue??
