Auto loans: the 1981 Ford B700
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1981 Ford B700 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 1981 Ford B700, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the B700
There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Reading the spec sheet
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.
Space and size
As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the B700 answers the big questions. Rent the B700 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 1981 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Money matters
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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Still deciding?
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
