We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1992 Ford Thunderbird for sale by us right now. Buying the 1992 Ford Thunderbird is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Thunderbird
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the figures tell you
It runs the 3.8L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Inside and out
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 425 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Thunderbird answers the big questions. Try the Thunderbird on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
