1988 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Luxury masterpiece at a decent price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Digital electronic dash light burned out ($135).
Passenger side power window motor replaced ($95).
Passenger side power window mounting bracket replaced (under warranty from new motor).
General comments?
This a great car for the money. It's very reliable and goes all year round (being rear wheel drive, I had no problems once I got a set of studded snow tires). Very comfortable, power everything.
