The 1986 Isuzu Impulse for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1986 Isuzu Impulse for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 1986 Isuzu Impulse, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Impulse
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the specs mean
The 1.9L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
At 11.0 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 33 litres of fuel. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $170.50. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,125 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
What the Impulse is like
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Try the Impulse on your commute, then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Impulse for a week and see how it fits your life.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
The cost of driving it
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,125 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Over to you
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
