The 1988 Isuzu Pickup: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1988 Isuzu Pickup for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. For anyone shopping for the 1988 Isuzu Pickup, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the Pickup
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Specs, explained
The powertrain here is the 2.3L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The EPA rates it at 11.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 35 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $54.87 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.
Who rents the Pickup
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Pickup for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Pickup tells you more than any review.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Ask us
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
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 1988 Isuzu Pickup from us first.
