The 1985 Ford Laser for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1985 Ford Laser for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Buying the 1985 Ford Laser is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Laser
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the 1.5L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 7.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 23 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $120.90. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Good uses for the Laser
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
A week with the Laser answers more than any brochure. Rent the Laser for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the Laser first, and buy only if it fits your life.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
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 two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Over to you
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
