The Ford LT8501 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the Ford LT8501; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The Ford LT8501 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the LT8501
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Specs, explained
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
How big it is
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent first, buy later: a week with the LT8501 answers the big questions. 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
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
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. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Next step
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 Ford LT8501 from us first.

Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Ford LT8501 for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Ford LT8501
Does CarmaCars sell the Ford LT8501?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Ford LT8501 before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
