Need Info on t-bird

[fstbmw1]

Hi there, I am seriously considering buying an 02 T-Bird. From what I have seen on this site prices seem to be all over the place. I live in Vancouver ,Canada and for an 02 you have to pay $40K (cdn). I dont mind forking out the $$ but I have mostly owned imports. Can you enlighten me on this particular Ford product. Thanks!

Need info on TBird

Paul I bought a new 03 TBird w hard top premium for $30,000 in May this year. Had full warranty. I could have bought a nice 02 for $27,000 with 5000 miles and 15 months warranty left. I live in the mid west USA. I had my choice between a Nissan Z, Corvette or BMW. I chose the Thunderbird because it reminds me of the 50's and 60's when I grew up. It is a very heavy smooth riding car. The seats are extremely confortable. While it is very fast, I like it for cruzing on summer nights with the top down. There are not very many TBirds on the road so in several years people will still be starring at it because it will be unique. I have had no problems with mine. I find it a very well built car and the ride is very quiet. Sounds like I am a salesman but I really like this car. If you have a choice between the 02 and 03 take the 03. Had standard heated seats and 40 more HP. Good luck in your decision.

Info

Thank you for the response. Amazingly enough I too was looking at the Z and the Corvette. A very good friend of mine bought an 04 Z, I did not want to follow in his footsteps. Corvettes seem to be all over the place. With the added feature of being able to disable the passenger side air bag with the retro look got me very interested in the T-Bird. By the time the exchange rate is facored in prices seem to be comparable. I have my eye on an 02 blue with the 2 tone interior, 20,000 Kilmeters abt. 15000 miles ....... time to try and work out a deal!

Bought one

Picked up an 02 yesterday, T-Bird blue with 2 tone interior. Removed those round plugs an installed driving lights in the bumper. Drives great. Today will build hoist for the hard top, I dont want that top left on the dolly.

WOW! You move fast, you didn't even have to order the lights and wiring harness? And today a hoist?

Bumper Lights

I picked up a really nice set of lights at a local auto parts store. Had to remove the plastic housing covering the bottom of the engine in order to be able to hold onto the mounting brackets during the installation. It does not make to much sense why we here in Canada get those lovely plastic caps insted of the lights like the U.S. T-Birds. Unfortunately (well not really) friends dropped by and that put a damper on the hoist build......theres always next weekend.
