Heh... actually, the Fiero still fetches pretty good resale value if you have the right one. The problem with the Fiero is two-fold. First, it started off on the wrong foot since the first year models had the recall that caused engine fires and gave the car a bad reputation. (Actually, the fix was a simple re-routing of a poorly placed oil line. One of my friends had an '84 Fiero with close to 200K miles on it and no major issues, as that recall was done immediately after it was announced.) And second, the car received a LOT of much-needed improvements only in its very last year of production. So most people "in the know" who'd consider buying one today would only want the (rarest) 1988 model year with all of those issues addressed.
On top of that? It's just personal opinion here (but one shared by many people I talked to) that the Fiero's body style didn't age too gracefully EXCEPT for the GT versions. The more common "wedge shaped front bumper" looks really dated, and is what you usually find on a used Fiero when it's anything but a GT trim.

I would say the supply is getting lower and the demand is picking up a little. Our cars are timeless classics and a very eye catching design so I expect our cars to gain value over the years. They won't be expensive like an old 50's corvette but they won't go down to the value of a Fiero either.
