Tips for Buying a Used Ford Thunderbird Engine

Locating a cheap used or rebuilt Ford Thunderbird motor might not be the hardest thing to do, but finding an inexpensive one from a top-rated, reputable salvage yard can be a challenge. Unless, of course, you use PartRequest.com to help you find it.

Your car's engine is the most critical component of your car. Without it, you can't get anywhere. So when it comes time to replace it you want to be sure that you're getting a quality used or rebuilt engine. After all, you want your replacement engine to last. Here are some things to consider when buying a used or rebuilt Ford Thunderbird engine:

Low Mileage - If you are purchasing a used engine, try to get one with the least amount of miles. Fewer miles on an engine will likely mean you'll pay a higher price up front, but you might save money in the long run. If you are purchasing a rebuilt engine, the number of miles on it isn't as important.

Tested - Make sure that the salvage yard has inspected and tested the engine. Although the engine may be coming from a wrecked Ford Thunderbird, many salvage yards have the means to test what they're selling. At the very least, the engine should be compression tested and visually inspected for leaks. It is much easier to repair an engine when they're removed from the vehicle.

Warranty - Make sure you get a warranty on the engine you buy. Most top-rated and reputable salvage yards, like those selling engines on PartRequest.com, will offer a warranty on the engines they sell.

Price - Price is always important. Don't spend more than you want or have to. At PartRequest.com we make it easy to comparison shop so you can rest assured knowing that you're getting a good deal.
