I would suggest going to Kelly Blue Book to see the value of your truck vs the Fiero first. Researching what others are selling/paying for these vehicles. If you are still interested, a test drive! Take someone familiar with cars with you to hear the engine running, feel the drive, and look things over under the hood and under the body including tires and of course how you feel inside the vehicle and with the drive. Afterall it will be your car to drive day in and day out. If it's all good and you feel good after that, go for it! If not, you can still sell your vehicle on your own. Perhaps through craigslist, or locally. Many if not all dealerships will take it as a trade in and a down payment towards another vehicle used or new. Go to a few places, fight for the Blue Book Value and the best price on a vehicle you would like to trade for. Do your research! My experience and opinion is stay away from the dealers that are pushy or that try and force you into something they think will fit you and your budget. Look online before you choose some dealers to go to and get an idea of the cars you would like to look at and let them know when you get there so you are not wasting time.. also let them know you will be trading and have no down payment and what you would like as far as a monthly payment if you are doing that, etc. There are some good deals out there and people always want a good heavy duty pickup. Good luck!
