It's in the garage. Brought it home with no problems. According to CARFAX, this car has been driven but a few hundred miles since 2001, but the previous owner apparently went out and ran it a little bit every once in a while until he died in 2006.
The car really runs well. Idles great. No engine codes are/were set on my 20 mile drive. I did put a few gallons of fresh gas in. Slight shimmy at 60+ MPH. Turn signals don't work and it has the dreaded phantom wiper problem, everything else seems to work. (oh no AC, but duh!)
First thing I did when I got it home was clean it out! Apparently the previous owners used the small space under the seats to put their trash... and lots of it! So much, that you couldn't move the seats forward or back! Ick.
This week will be a basic check of __everything__ and all fluids to be flushed/changed.
I'm going to want to get it painted sooner rather than later. I find it's easier to motivate myself to work on a car if it looks good. Go figure. Anybody have recommendations? I don't necessarily need to go cheap on this, as I've been saving. I'm just concerned about finding a shop that can deal with the Fiero (being plastic, and all).
