Rolling Art

I have a 2002 Whisper white in flawless condition. To me this car was never changed because, like a Harley, its just TOO COOL!!!!!!!! There is nothing like it on the road and when Im driving down 95 with the top down, Metallica blasting, and a cold beer in my lap- Well- There are just no words to describe!!!!!!!! The only thing I dont like is the attention it gathers-too many questions!!!! IF YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO GET ONE- G E T I T !!!!!

Retirement Present To Myself

I bought a 2002 Thunderbird Blue, two-tone interior car with 22,000 miles on line. I flew to New Jersey and had it shipped back to Michigan . I bought it for my retirement present to myself. It is an awesome car and everyone loves it. It drives great and has been fun being part of the Thunderbird Club and having it in shows. It's a classic that I would recommend to anyone.

Found through cars.com. Wanted one when they first came out, but couldn't afford at the time. Love the styling and really fun to drive.

Great Car

If I can't get a 1957 Bird, this is the one I want. Rides great, peppy, chick magnet, my mid life crisis solved.

Great Car

We love our 2002 Thunderbird. It is a great car and a comfortable ride. It is a fun car with a great design. Don't hesitate to purchase this old car; thankfully we didn't!

very reliable

I have owned this car since new and just turned 19,000 miles. I put new tires on it last year because I was fearful they might be rotten and blow out on me when on the highway. I keep it in an air conditioned garage in South Florida. It's a keeper.

Great values used T-birds

Just purchased a slightly used 2002 Thunderbird after extensive online looking. Actually, I had started out searching for a Lexus SC, or late Mustang. I found that late model Thunderbirds with fairly low mileage and owner TLC are starting to appear. I found one with 24K, well maintained, not even a scratch, smells looks new interior. They are distinctive looking cars, and not common. Very worth checking out.
