Buying the 1985 Ford EXP
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1985 Ford EXP for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 1985 Ford EXP, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. 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 private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The numbers in plain words
Power: the 1.6L 4-cylinder; drive: 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 27 litres, from its 9.0 L/100 km rating. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $139.50. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the EXP is like
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Who the EXP suits
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the EXP answers the big questions. A week with the EXP answers more than any brochure. Drive the EXP on your commute before you commit to it.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting. 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.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. 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.
