Thinking of buying the 1981 Ford F-600?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1981 Ford F-600 for sale by us right now. Before buying the 1981 Ford F-600, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the F-600
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Specs, explained
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
What the F-600 is like
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.
Rent it for a week first
Try the F-600 on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the F-600 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
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.
Still deciding?
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1981 Ford F-600 from us first.
Find me this car
