1992 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Very comfortable car, and still looks nice for being 17 years old, but the 3.8 motor is not reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown head gasket.
General comments?
I just recently bought this car for $1450. It's been a one owner granny car most of its life, and it was very well taken care of. I really liked this car and thought I found a good one, but I didn't research enough about the car. I found out that the 3.8 V6 motors are common for blown head gaskets. :(
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the car, but if I can come up with the money to fix it, I'd like to.
