The Ford Thunderbird: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no Ford Thunderbird for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. The Ford Thunderbird for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the Thunderbird
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Space, size and seats
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Try before you buy
A test week in the Thunderbird tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Thunderbird for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. The years table on this page shows where the Thunderbird changed. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
What it costs to run
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.
When you know your dates
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
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.
