I have bought multiple vehicles from this location and have had a great experience every time. I also bring my vehicle here for service, and they do a thorough job in the video inspections I receive.

2003 Ford Thunderbird Premium review

2005 Ford Thunderbird 50th Anniversary

I absolutely love this car. My only wish is that I can find a Hard Top to put on it at a reasonable price. But I still love this car. I am sorry but I do. It puts a smile on my face. And I didn't have to pay a fortune for it either. It still looks like new, and it drives great, and it handles excellent. It is the Torch Red w/Black Ink Interior. And this is to the guy that says the 3.9 engine is underpowered, you are nuts, this thing screams down the highway, not that I am a speed demon, but it does. I don't know what else to say about this Thunderbird, but I wish I had bought one many years ago. Nuff said.

AutoNation Subaru Scottsdale review

I've heard it said that buying a car is like having a tooth pulled without novicaine. Maybe at some dealerships, but not here. This was actually an enjoyable experience. Our salesperson was very knowledgeable about the car we were interested in and very pleasant to work with. No high pressure sales nor upselling of products or services.

2003 Ford Thunderbird Premium review

Always wanted to own one of the "retro" 'Birds

I love the way the car looks. Beautiful exterior design. Finding the 93 octane ethanol-free gas can be a pain, though. I bought mine used from a dealership. They didn't check her out - of course she was only on the market less than 48-hrs. before I bought her. The cobwebs under the hood should've let me know the previous owner didn't drive her enough. The "recommended" recall on the coil packs was not done. Two went bad, so I replaced all 8. Expensive! The engine light and damned "wrench" light came on 200 miles after replacing the COPS. The computer error code kept indicating COPS. It was not. Long story short, and $2,500.00 later, I had TWO computers replaced. Ford no longer makes them, so they're hard to find. Once installed, they have to "talk" to each other. Mine wouldn't. An expert on Jaguar engines was consulted, and he had to bring all his diagnostic equipment. My bird was in the shop for 2 months. Finally fixed - she had to "re-learn" almost everything, but after two weeks of driving, she was back to normal. Now, she runs like a "scalded cat"! I am a T-Bird nut, so to me, it was worth spending the money to get her repaired. She has 57,000 miles on her. I was told these cars, with the 3.9 liter Jaguar engine HAVE to be driven. They cannot "sit". Fine with me. I LOVE this T-Bird, and regret nothing. Now she is with an owner that will take care of her. Whisper White with Black Leather interior, removeable hardtop with black convertible top underneath. Small trunk, but I didn't buy her to stuff the trunk full of things. A really, really awesome car - if taken care of.
