"A nice looking car with a lemon under the hood"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I first got the car it was during the week probaly Monday or Tuesday, by that weekend I had washed the car and dried it with a towel (the car was black) I noticed white spots all on the surface of the paint and thought it was towel lint, but it turned out to be the paint flaking and peeling.

I had the car re-painted and again soon after that.

The paint would not adhere to the car body and I had to trade it in back at ford.

The air-conditioning broke the first year I had the car.

The cornering lights on the front side bumpers stayed on all the time when they are only supposed to light when signaling.

The spoiler where it is attached to the trunk started to rot and rust a few months after I get the car.

General comments?

The car is quick, but I'm not impressed.

It is a good-looking car with lots of features.

Every type of cars has a lemons, some are good and some are bad. I think it all on how you treat the car, if you treat your car with respect it will last you long time. My thunder bird has 170000 miles and I have not had to fix it at all. Except the head gaskets and regular tune ups.

I have owned my 1992 tbird for only 4 months and already it has cost me a total of $8,000 in repairs. It's a great car, but hungry for money. I think all tbirds have a hunger for money in repair costs. But I wouldn't trade my baby for the world.
