Thinking of buying a 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

[Cooter]

My dad bought one brand new in 1987. Kept it for 10 years. He had problems with it throwing the timing belt. Other than he loved the car and is only complaint was the oil change process with the turbo. Manual stated that you must turn the motor over without it starting to refill the tubor with oil after doing the oil change.

Is this still true for newer turbod cars?

LO fucking L !!

no, you don't have to do that... you didn't have to do it with a 2.3t either

They are decent cars. It's not going to be anything fast though. If you really want a tbird that inexpensive try to find a supercoupe.

I'm not mad. It's cool call me what you call me. I'm just looking for info on the car. The car is pretty cheap. I'm just looking for a turbo starter car cause I know nothing about them.

Nigga you high.

If you get a good deal on it then by all means go for it. I knew a guy that had a 2.3 turbo in a fox and it was really easy to work on and when he was done it was relatively quick.

For looks Ive got my foxbodies. I just want a turbo car. They look like ass after 88 to me.

Anyone got an idea what they're worth? This one runs but has fuel delivery problems and has been sitting since 2004. It's pretty clean other than seat rip on interior.

Thx Mike. It doesn't look like these hold value. The one I'm looking at may be high

He brought that up the other day when I was trying to convince him the ecoboost was just as good if not better than the 6.2 l. I was a baby when he bought the car and 10 or 11 when he got rid of it.

Those '89+ Tbirds are fucking ugly. They are literally slab-sided, straight from the beltline to the rocker. Yuck.
