Buying the 1996 Ford Probe
No 1996 Ford Probe is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 1996 Ford Probe in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the Probe
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
A combined rating of 9.4 L/100 km works out to about 28 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $14.57 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What the Probe is like
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 538 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Probe answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If the Probe is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
What it costs to run
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
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Ready to ask?
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
