I bought this car over a year ago and have had great fun with it. I don't drive it anymore because I'm 6'3", 220 and have a lower back problem. I fit just fine....its getting in and out that's tough. My son is 6'00" and he scoots the seat up when he drives it....just to give you an idea of leg room. I've gotten usually 26mpg with it unless I use the A/C. Then it drops to 21 or 22.
Since I've had it I've had only one problem with it. The control module went out. $35.00 for a new one and no problems since. When I got it, and story goes I'm 3rd owner, it ran good but was a bouncy, spongy ride. I put new shocks and idler arms on the front and new struts on the back. I had it aligned and it became a mad little go cart! It handles very well and is a blast to run through curves at speeds the law says you're not supposed to! Its a mid engine 2 seater that hugs the road without side sway and roll. Very fun and surprising. Its got 59,3xx miles on it. I have no reason to believe that's not original. I won't bore you with the history of the vehicle but it reportedly sat in the garage for 10 years after the first owner passed away.
V6 with the 4speed. Clutch is very good, shifting is a breeze. No gear noises or unusual sounds. Its not a "muscle car" by any means and was never intended to be (don't know what Pontiac was thinkin) but its low geared and very quick in the first 2. I never beat on this car but it will surprise you and others when you downshift and leap frog through traffic. Passing on the highway doesn't require downshifting unless you just want to. It IS a "sports car" according to Fiero enthusists and it rides like one too. You will notice bumps that you wouldn't in the family truckster.
Aside from whats already listed I replaced the battery earlier this year. I converted the A/C to 134a. Original refridgerant was still putting out cool air but not cold. It is cold now and I seldom use high unless in the 90s. More often than not I just open the sunroof. The tires are Goodyear Eagle GT II. They have 75% give or take tread left. I have not tuned it since I've had it but doesn't seem to need it. Exhaust sounds great and has no leaks. I have added oil only 3 times since I bought the car May 12'.
Mechanically this is a 9/10. Only thing needing attention is the right headlight motor gear is stripped. You can unplug them and they stay open, functioning like normal headlights. I have ordered the rebuild kit and will try do it before you pick it up. Takes a half hour to do and is a $20 kit. The cruise control is not working. I ordered a troubleshoot/repair manual exerpt on it but I don't understand electrical. Cosmetically it needs paint. The clear coat is peeling in many spots. There are chips in the paint. I've tried to take the best pictures of it I could. The window seals are dry rotted and cracked. They don't let any water in the car so I never replaced them. Sunroof does not leak either.
PW, PDL which are sticky, Power mirrors. Trunk release button inside. Stock AM/FM cassette. Sounds ok but was probably top of the line in 86' lol Goofy sounding dual tone horn which may or may not honk on first try.
I've tried to list everything I can think of but if you have questions I will answer as quickly as possible. If I think of anything I have forgotten I will add to auction. Haynes repair manual and cruise control repair included.
Thanks for looking. Reserve is lower than the buy it now so bid with confidence that you're getting a good car at a good price. Bring a trailer or bring a driver. I trust this to go anywhere without problems.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
