Thinking of buying the 1981 Ford Courier?

Before you sign for the Courier
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
Reading the spec sheet
Fuel use for this model year: Rating on request; heavier trucks and vans are often outside the EPA ratings.
Size and space
A pickup is long and tall, so plan for parking and low garages.
Who the Courier suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the Courier tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
The cost of driving it
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
