Thinking of buying the 1981 Ford LS8000?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1981 Ford LS8000 for sale by us right now. This page puts the 1981 Ford LS8000 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Reading the spec sheet

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Size and space

As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.

When the LS8000 makes sense

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

A longer test drive

A test week in the LS8000 tells you more than any review. Drive the LS8000 on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Running costs

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.

Picking a year and a trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 1981 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

When you know your dates

Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.

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 LS8000 from us first.
