sorry about the Fiero, that sucks.
As for insurance, I remember going from a 75 Fiat Spider 1800 to a 73 Porsche 914 1.8. Both cars were near identical in performance.. but insurance for the P car was double

Dagnabbit, I was looking forward to a Fiero thread.
I own an MGB so really have no right to give advice when it comes to buying stupid cars. But it sounds like you dodged a bullet.

We had a girl bring a Fiero in once saying it was making a noise. Got it on the lift and noticed a fist sized hole in the side of the block. Showed her the hole, explained she need a new engine, dropped it off the lift and she drive it away.
Bummer about the Fierro, but good on ya for being smart enough to walk away.
I had (have) an '87 Toyota 4wd pickup, when I bought an '86 Mazda RX-7 my insurance almost halved. There was only one conclusion I could come up with: "The cost of your insurance is inversely proportionate to the top speed of your vehicle"

Because they knew the RX would be broken half the time. 
There is no excuse for owning a Fiero with the Iron Puke engine (so named as that is what they do if you rev them past their rev limit (under 5,000).
Good V6 cars are so cheap now that buying anything else shows a dismaying streak of automotive masochism.

On so many levels that is.... impressive? We've all heard the old saying that GM cars will run badly longer than most cars will run at all, but that's taking it to the next level.
