The 1995 Ford Explorer: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1995 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 1995 Ford Explorer for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Explorer
There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
It is powered by the 4.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The combined figure, 13.1 L/100 km, means roughly 39 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.31, and a 300 km weekend about $60.93. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
What the Explorer is like
Being a van, it carries people and their bags without fuss.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the Explorer tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Explorer first, and buy only if 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. Within the 1995 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
When you know your dates
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
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 1995 Ford Explorer from us first.
