No problem... I'm away from my data until Sunday, I'll fill you in then but it has to be the red interior.

C&D's bird,

Yes, as stated your cars yours is one of 12 mainly due to the partial red interior. With everything else the same; if you had the full red interior yours would be one of 40. If you had the standard black interior yours would be one of 89. If you had the sand interior color option yours would have been one of 283. If you had the black accent interior yours would be one of 323.

Thank you very much, Harry! That's probably why it sat at lithia for so long. They likely had an unreasonable dealer premium on it.

Give me the year and last five VIN digits of your 2002-2005 Thunderbird to get build information on it.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

What can you learn about a 2002 with the last 5 digits of the VIN of 14477? Thanks Quickdraw.

Re: Get build information on your 2002-2005 Thunderbird.

Hi Harry, so, I don't own this yet, but want to buy it. One owner, fabulous maintenance records (every 6 months at the same Ford dealership)(no mention of replacing COPs though...) and 111,500 miles on it now. My mechanic friend says that doesn't matter so much as "the guy who built it"...what day was it? Monday he's hung over from the weekend, Friday he's rushing to quit to get out for the weekend! So I need to know what day it was built to satisfy my friend! Thanks so much! I just love being able to know this stuff!

Monday and Friday cars are better than most. More attention was given on those days just to prove great cars were being built. Anyway, after 111,500 miles, what on earth does your mechanic friend think could go wrong that a UAW worker would be responsible for?

Re: Get build information on your 2002-2005 Thunderbird.

Very good point, I should have thought to say that to him!
I do apologize, he is a joker, and was probably referring to himself. I didn't mean any insult to you nor UAW workers! In fact, I toured a plant while I was visiting KY last year and was totally impressed with the workers as well as the automation I saw there.
If I could ask your opinion please, do you think high mileage is an issue if it was maintained as the Ford manual outlined? So many talk about those COP problems...I thought if I could get one where they've already been replaced, I would be ahead. Especially since the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty has gone by. I love all the colors, but that yellow just pulls me in....
Respectfully,

Re: Get build information on your 2002-2005 Thunderbird.

With good records, do not worry about the mileage. I have one at 129,000, one at 86,000, two near 70,000, two over 50,000, one at 45,000 and two under 25,000. They are seem to drive and perform the same.
