Buying the 1981 GMC C5
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1981 GMC C5 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 1981 GMC C5 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the C5
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Living with the C5
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.
Who the C5 suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent first, buy later: a week with the C5 answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
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.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Let us know
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
