Thinking of buying the 1985 Chevrolet Nova?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1985 Chevrolet Nova for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 1985 Chevrolet Nova, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
The engine is the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 8.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $12.56 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Practical details
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 396 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the Nova tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Nova answers the big questions.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $125.60 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
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 1985 Chevrolet Nova from us first.
