The 1981 Ford Laser: before you buy

No 1981 Ford Laser is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. 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 Laser, here are the facts that matter.

What to check on the Laser

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

What the figures tell you

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

Size and space

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.

Who rents the Laser

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

A longer test drive

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the Laser on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

The cost of driving it

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.

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 1981 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.

Your move

Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.

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 Laser from us first.
