1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the Serpentine Belt at 30,000, cost about $70.00.
Transmission started leaking at 38,000, had the seal replaced, it cost about $50.00.
Replaced the brakes at 75,000, cost about $350.00.
General comments?
This is a great car, I have had no problems other than normal wear and tear, but that can be expected.
I wish Ford would have continued to make this style T-Bird.
