A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page helps you judge the 1986 GMC Pickup before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the Pickup

NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
The figures, translated
It uses the 2.5L 4-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
The EPA rates it at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 34 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $173.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the Pickup suits
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Inside and out
A pickup is long and tall, so plan for parking and low garages.
Try before you buy
A week with the Pickup answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the Pickup on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel.
