The Ford Thunderbird for buyers
No Ford Thunderbird is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the Ford Thunderbird, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Specs, explained
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
The Thunderbird in everyday use
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who rents the Thunderbird
It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Thunderbird answers the big questions. Drive the Thunderbird on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
The years table on this page shows where the Thunderbird changed. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Ford Thunderbird from us first.
Ask us about the Ford Thunderbird
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Ford Thunderbird for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Ford Thunderbird
Does CarmaCars sell the Ford Thunderbird?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Ford Thunderbird before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
