Buying the 1981 Ford C600
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1981 Ford C600 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 1981 Ford C600 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the C600
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Reading the spec sheet
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
The C600 in everyday use
As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Who the C600 suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Try before you buy
Rent the C600 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the C600 answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
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.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 1981 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
