Thinking of buying the Ford L8501?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no Ford L8501 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the Ford L8501? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the specs mean
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.
Who the L8501 suits
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the L8501 tells you more than any review. Rent the L8501 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the L8501 on your commute, then decide.
The cost of driving it
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.
Narrowing it down
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. The years table on this page shows where the L8501 changed.
Still deciding?
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 Ford L8501 from us first.

Can I rent a Ford L8501 before I buy one?
