I received this car for little money and it needed some preventive maintaince
done to it which was long over due and neglected by previous owner. I am
still having trouble with the transmission but will fix it once and for all real
soon with the help and advice of a good qualified mechanic.

sound system, 1 wheel came off driving

enough to turn you away from this car?

At just under 79000 miles I lost the
head gasket and had scoring on the crank
and cam. With the Best Care Warranty, I
now have a new engine and should get
another 200,000 miles out of this car.
This car is an ideal drive for any
distance. My monthly trips across the
Plains (750miles) is a pleasure except
that I have no place for my coffee cup.
The 3.8L engine runs solid and steady
with a surprising great gas milage of
better than 34 mpg.

This is my favorite car of any that
I've owned. I bought this bird new in
94 and have been very happy with it.
With the exception of a dealer that
could not figure out a brake issue when
it was new I've had no problems with it
at all. This car is a highway cruiser
and seems to be happy around 85mph. I
can't part with it. I only drive it
just to keep it running now, 3000 miles
annually.

I feel the T-Bird is one of the best
cars manufactured. I suppose that's
why it has been around for nearly half
a century. The only real complaint I
have, again, is the positioning of the
cup holders. Luckily that has been
enhanced on the newer models. At
110,000 miles my car has never left me
stranded and has only been in the shop
for one minor problem (shy of
maintanence items). I've driven this
car HARD since it was new. As long as
you change the oil it will last you.
THE BEST NEVER REST.

Pretty pearl paint has numerous
imperfections, front cap was so shoddily
mounted that factory bra wouldn't fit!
Next problem was the transmission, it came
up for recall. Since that time, it has had 3
complete rebuilds. Ford caught 2 of them
under warranty and I paid for the last one.
The V8 is a decent motor, too bad it was
backed up by such a dog transmission.
However, when everything is working right, it
is a blast to drive. Still love the styling,
almost a direct knockoff of a BMW 6 series
coupe! Leather seats are supportive, have
held up well, Moonroof has never leaked.
The car is a Jeckyl/Hyde.
My better idea? NO MORE FORDS!!!

I bought my 95 t-bird used for $3000. It had 113k on it then. I travel 42 miles one way to work, 84 total per day. I have a family of 5. It has been dependable and really has the kick when you need it. It handles like a dream. I have put some hard miles on it, and she still does not hesitate. I have more than got my money's worth out of this car, and will feel like a part of the family is gone when I trade her in. This car was the best investment I had ever made. The only flaw that I found was the seat, if ever moved, was very hard to get back right and would make my back ache a little, but nothing that could not be overlooked by the fun of the drive.

I bought this car used in late 2000, it had 84k on it then and now has 112k.
The 4.6L is a great motor, good power and milage concidering it's a V8. I like the
handling, my has the traction control and it is my daily driver, even in the Winter.
We do get snow in Wisconsin, I added 4 Dunlop snows and I can go where ever
I want. Only thing it needs is cup holders. I wish Ford was still making them.

My friend bought a 95 super coupe about a year ago. he has not had any problems with it at all. I've tried racing him with my V-8 302 mercury cougar xr7 and he blows me out of the water. To bad he doesnt want to swap.

The car has been pretty much flawless.I had to replace the torque converter at 50,000, it felt like you driving over a cattle guard when it shifted. The car now has 105,000 miles on it and still starts perfectly,and uses no oil and has no oil leaks.
