I've bought a new car!

SteveG1988 · January 12, 2015, 04:56:45 PM

And it is time for you to guess it, some basic details

it was built within my life time (1988-Now)

built on the north american continent

has an OHC Motor

Can we ask for more hints (number of doors, number of cams, which wheels are driven) or do we just have to guess? The last car guessing game I played ended up being an 8th gen Honda Civic Si, so I'll start off with that.

God, you really bought a V-6 Thunderbird didn't you

No.

It was only available as an automatic in the year mine was sold as. And the factory it was made in was closed years later.

I'm guessing it was an American-only car since it's auto-only.

Maybe a Pontiac? Just trying to narrow down.

corco · January 13, 2015, 01:01:06 AM

Okay, a Monte Carlo with the 3.4?

Actually, the Saturn Sky (& Pontiac Solstice) were RWD. Their target competitor was the Mazda Miata (which is also RWD).

Camaro.

corco · January 13, 2015, 09:31:03 AM

Okay, if it's not a V6 Thunderbird it's either a V8 Thunderbird or a Cougar or a Mark VIII

Roadrunner75 · January 13, 2015, 09:50:58 AM

I'm going to guess this:

freebrickproductions · January 13, 2015, 10:04:33 AM

You bought a car that has all of the things you said about it.

A 1996 thunderbird V8 with 87,800 miles and two owners. 2000 bucks

spooky · January 13, 2015, 11:14:47 AM

Congrats corco, you win a 1996 thunderbird V8 with 87,800 miles and three owners.

jeffandnicole · January 13, 2015, 11:40:09 AM

I'm sure you'll take the car out for some nice drives, but what are you planning on doing with the two owners? I figured a car and two people would go for more than $2,000. Two owners would be more valuable, I would think.

Damn, you bought a car that had been parked for a while

I was gonna say the same thing. That's only like 4600 miles a year.

SteveG1988 · January 13, 2015, 07:22:48 PM

It has been driven regularly, but not a lot, according to the carfax, passes emissions testing.
