1995 Ford Thunderbird LX 4.6L / V8
Summary:
The best vehicle I have ever owned!
Faults:
My T-Bird has a vibration at low RPM's, while under-power. I have not been able to find out what the vibration is, but it does not cause any problems.
My fuel guage no longer works. Still, no repair costs. I just watch my mileage.
My brakes needed changed for the first time since I have owned the car. (1997 - 2002). The cost was approximately $170.00. Getting the different specialty tools, required to change the brakes, was harder than the repair job itself.
Besides regular servicing, this car has cost me absolutely nothing in repairs.
General Comments:
My T-Bird is my favorite, of all the cars I have owned.
Looks, Power, Comfort, and Reliability, this car has them all. Mine has Opalescent paint, 4.6L V-8, Power Everything, and hasn't needed any repairs, routine servicing only. What more could I ask for? More horsepower I guess, but that is a never ending quest.
My teenagers even talk about how,"awesome", the car is.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The 3.8 V6 engine in the 90's T-Bird is known to have problems with the heads... The 4.6 V8 may need a new manifold if the original plastic one is there, but the 4.6 V8 is more long-term reliable than the V6.
