Used 2002 Ford Thunderbird Consumer Reviews

Pretty expensive

Purchased in 22 I know it’s a 20-year-old car. First off did not expect all the cheap plastics and failure of computers. Had to replace the cooling fans. Lots of wacky electrical issues. Had it 6 months it literally tried to drain my bank account. Traded for a Lexus is250c with more miles on the clock but a much better designed vehicle. But not as pretty as the Thunderbird in my opinion.

Made by Lincoln, Powered by Jaguar, Love this car

I consider 2002 the Best "Retrobird' Year and feel that it is the best car I've owned as my "personal car" (which is what the designer WR Burnett set out to build in 1955 and made sure the redesign stayed true to) and truly believe this overlooked gem has finally starting getting the attention it deserves. I like 2002, because in my opinion the engine variable valve re-design for subsequent years hasn't aged well from a control module standpoint and some parts are scarce these days. My advice? Find one a 90 year old has babied and can no longer drive safely and pay him what he asks, as long as it's between $12.5 and $17K. Difference between Premium and Deluxe Packages seem to be Seat Warmers for some reason. In the Thunderbird 2002 production year there were 7,244 Thunderbirds produced with a torch red exterior, torch red removable hardtop. This was the only year the two-tone interior color accent package was available. Of the $800 red interior accent package (instead of solid black) there were only 592 produced originally, so for me, this is the Holy Grail of the line, if you can find one. The Premium-model Thunderbird's original base price of $38,465 included this option pkg w/red steering wheel, shift handle and leather inserts on the bucket seats and a paint-matching "opera"-windowed hardtop (a $2500 option on deluxe models). Also standard were 17-inch chromed alloy wheels and chrome windshield bow, excellent power folding top, a six-disc in-dash CD changer (that operates at an unusually high temperature and is prone to jamming after extended use), and a five-speed automatic transmission. Once Ford added another $530 for destination charges, and the original bottom line just nipped the $40K mark at $39,795. Fun Fact: It was more expensive than a 2002 C5 Corvette that year

2002 THUNDERBIRD

Most fun car I have ever owned. Previous cars have been Mustangs, Pontiac GTO and Camaro. The new Thunder Bird provides the fun/looks of the old 2 seat birds with modern technology and reliability. I love it.

Who says you can't go back

A great riding car with excellent standard features. Fun to drive and love the nostalgia, like driving the little T- Bird of yore. I own several vintage Fords and people ask us as many questions about the new bird as our older cars (Model A's & an Early V-8). Quite, smooth & powerful.

Back to the Future-T-Bird

This is the automobile I always wanted in high school and only in middle age can afford. I have owned a Corvette, MGB, Triumph GT6, an original Pinto, three Camaros, base, Z28. This car in two weeks has received more attention than all of the others put togetjer in the first two weeks. The vehicle is absolutely stunning in appearance, however the driving experiance is even better.The car is confortable, responsive and attracts emormous attention from all groups. As a retired "nerd", "dork", etc. it's a blast.

My mom baby

Allway garage car is still new it new in and out 12.ooo mile

Overpriced

This is a great looking convetible, but way too much money! My Sebring was just as much fun at half the price. I used to be impressed by the Jaguars too, but then again, it was pointed out to me that for $50,000 even Yugo can build a good looking car.

Sporty

wow

great little car not good in snow

Pre owned its a deal!

Flare for a reasonable amount f money
