Fair enough!
The reason I mentioned it is that the 1984 models are more year specific than the rest. The car was made only for the 4 cyl and the wiring looms (and connectors, etc) are quite different.
If you plan on some upgrades it is a little more difficult.
That said, they are more plentiful and you should locate one that is less expensive than a newer model. Fiero guys are notoriously cheap, so when someone advertises one at a high price he never seems to get it. (hint, bid low).
The only advice I can give is to get the best car you can afford...a fixer upper can turn into a money pit very quickly. Get something saftied and e tested, it's worth a little extra. Look for frame rust up under the wheel liners, no e brake etc plus all the regular used car stuff. Some is easy, some hard to remedy. Always good to use to beat down the price a little.
DON"T JUMP ON THE FIRST "DEAL" YOU SEE !!!!! Ask us....most of us have been bitten by the attractive but junk Fiero purchase.
