Car financing: the 1981 Ford FT800
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1981 Ford FT800; 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. This page puts the 1981 Ford FT800 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Under the hood
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the FT800 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
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.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
