Thinking of buying the 1981 Ford FT800?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1981 Ford FT800 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans.

What to check on the FT800
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
What to expect from the FT800
As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the FT800 on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. 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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
