Thinking of buying the 1982 Ford LTD?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1982 Ford LTD; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 1982 Ford LTD is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the LTD
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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the specs mean
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
A good match for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Living with the LTD
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the LTD for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the LTD tells you more than any review.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
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. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
