Guys, I am newb here but I wondered what you thought about this 1996 Thunderbird LX 4.6L. Its got 75,000 miles and they said it was in good shape. I want a 4.6L V8, but I don't want to pay the high insurance for the Mustang or drive the Crown Vic boats. I figured that this would be a car to look at. I also have a set of rims/tires from a GEN2 Taurus SHO that I used on my Sable that would fit.

How are the transmisison on these? The Taurus ones sucked so I am hoping for better ones on the Tbirds. Are they the same as the Mustangs? I am not worried about the 4.6L, the transmissions on these cars scare me.

They want $5500 for it, but of course I will talk them down.
Let me know!
