1990 Ford Thunderbird SC review from North America
"Good fast car, with slight problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sun roof motor is getting tired.
OEM radio stopped working well before I owned it.
Bumpers tend to peel paint.
Blown head gasket at 149,590 miles, only time.
Water pump replaced.
Air conditioning stopped.
Driver seat has some wear, but not bad.
JBL Sound is no good.
Hard on the pocket book for money.
General comments?
Leather keeps good.
The seats are very comfortable.
Daily driver for most of its life.
The paint has had no problems (garaged since new).
Hopefully the car will be worth some money down the road.
Ride control is nice.
Very reliable car.
Minor problems, big cost.
