i may be getting a 86 pontiac fiero fastback.?

[Joshua]

and my question is, are they a dependable car?
it has a 2.8L v6

 

[pedro7of9]

god no....they are among the worst...parts r hard to get,,,the 1980's is a time GM started its death march down,,,down,,,down [well it really started mid 70's but you get my point]

 

[Bill]

the 2.8 was a VERY VERY good engine in the 80's and 90's, but you honestly can not expect a car that old to be dependable.

most Fieros are junk, especially ones that are 24 years old. if yours has the V6, you might get some life out of it, but the 4-bangers are total garbage.
