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

4th gen Mustang?

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.
Okay, a Monte Carlo with the 3.4?

No, another clue.
It is RWD
Actually, the Saturn Sky (& Pontiac Solstice) were RWD. Their target competitor was the Mazda Miata (which is also RWD).
Camaro.
Okay, if it's not a V6 Thunderbird it's either a V8 Thunderbird or a Cougar or a Mark VIII
I'm going to guess this:

A 1996 thunderbird V8 with 87,800 miles and two owners. 2000 bucks
Congrats corco, you win a 1996 thunderbird V8 with 87,800 miles and three owners.
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.
It has been driven regularly, but not a lot, according to the carfax, passes emissions testing.
Your gas tank is low.
Look at the dirt distribution on that back right tire- you don't get that unless the car has been sitting for a long time.

Carfax records stop around Nov 2014. I plan to take my own photos once i get it.
in 2012 it had an injector cleaning and intake cleaning service
Also, once i get it (it's down in laurel MD) i plan to do a run up NJ29 to PA32 and run the river roads in a loop, get used to how it drives in a fairly controlled, but curvy road. So i can feel the limits.
