Selling my other baby.
Obviously the price is pretty high. I expect lower offers and left room to negotiate, as expected on craigslist.

I have owned 2 fieros in my life. Loved them both. Put about 12 grand into the second one and the constant repairs became unbearable after awhile. So much fun to drive 4 speed fiero gt's though.

2 Fiero's. I am jealous! Maybe I can own 2 Mirages

The Fiero definitely catches people's eyes, that is, when they are still running and on the road...lol... Sounds like you took VERY good care of your cars! I would say with most cars, you can keep them on the road and pretty, just depends on how much you are willing to spend. I am hoping the Mirage has a nice long-term shelf life!

I agree with the repairs. I feel I got my car up to the point where it is manageable (minus obvious oil, tires, brakes, etc.)
You never know with a used car though. That is why I bought my Mirage. It replaced a 1999 Ford Escort SE...... talk about repairs!

Growing up my family owned several dealerships so I got to see what was good and what wasnt. That is what got me hooked on Mitsubishi. They have always been bullet proof for me. Knocks on wood

Your family taught you well

my brother in law used to sell cars for Porsche and Audi, got me into cars. Had me hooked on Audi for a while....until I bought a 1996 A4 for $3200..... And put another $4000 into in barely 4 years! Yikes!
