Buying the 1986 Jeep Comanche
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1986 Jeep Comanche; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. The 1986 Jeep Comanche for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The numbers in plain words
It is powered by the 2.1L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The EPA rates it at 9.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 27 litres. Every 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits moving day, renovation runs and anything that needs an open bed.
Space and size
Being a pickup truck, it trades parking ease for a cargo bed.
A longer test drive
Drive the Comanche on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Comanche for a week and see how it fits your life.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting.
Your move
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
