  • Did you Buy New Or Used? Poll #2

    In the beginning FORD said "Let there be a retro Thunderbird" and with a bolt of lightning there was a retro Thunderbird. And FORD rested. The 02-05 production run was limited. So, here we are in 2009 and the last Thunderbird built was the 2005 model.

    Every new Bird had an original owner. Many of those owners have traded and sold their Birds to a growing group of eager buyers. Every day TBN has more new members that have recently purchased retro Thunderbirds. On the original "New vs Used" TBN poll the ratio of Thunderbirds purchased "new vs used" for all years was nearly an even 50% split.

    Let's see how the numbers look now with this new November 2009 poll.
    There is no voting option for owning multiple Birds. The Poll's software does not have enough options to count multiple cars owned by one individual.

    Also, after you vote you can see ownership results by clicking on the "number of repsonses" column.

    Used (purchased October 2009).

    Only one previous owner who purchased new but traded it in at a dealer (therefore I have little to go on other than a CarFax report).

            We bought our 02 Torch Red from a local dealer in June of 04. The car had less than 10,000 KM and was still in the dealership's name. I was told that it was a demo that "he and his wife used as their's". So, I don't know if you would consider our's bought new two years old, or used. Either way we now have over 40,000 KM and enjoy it immensely. We can't wait to get out to our next TBN event (when the snow leaves us) as it was so much fun meeting everyone.

                I was the second owner of an '02 that I still see on the road from time to time. Currently I'm the second owner of an '03 which is driven daily. When it's worn out I may become the second owner of an '04 or '05.

                  New 02. Some year someone will be able to say they're the 2nd owner but not for years to come meanwhile, we're trying to wear it out while keeping it looking good.

                      I'm not sure. Bought it from a dealer. I think i'm the 2nd owner but i'll default to #3 to be safe. I can't remember the carfax.

                        New in 02. Did the Manage the Wait program. It took 1 year and 1 month for the car to come in. We sold our 95 LX Bird six months before we got the new one.
