Buying the 1992 Ford Explorer
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1992 Ford Explorer for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 1992 Ford Explorer for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Explorer
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Under the hood
Its 4.0L 6-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Combined fuel use is 13.8 L/100 km: about 41 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $21.39 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the Explorer makes sense
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
What to expect from the Explorer
Being a van, it carries people and their bags without fuss.
A longer test drive
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
