The 1985 Ford C700: before you buy
No 1985 Ford C700 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 1985 Ford C700 before buying one.
Before you sign for the C700
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Reading the spec sheet
Fuel use for this model year: Rating on request; heavier trucks and vans are often outside the EPA ratings.
Living with the C700
As a car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the C700 answers the big questions. Drive the C700 on your commute before you commit to it. A week with the C700 answers more than any brochure.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Still deciding?
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
