Buying the 1985 Bertone X1/9
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1985 Bertone X1/9 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 1985 Bertone X1/9, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the X1/9
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
Its powertrain is the 1.5L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Fuel use is rated 10.7 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 32 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $16.59 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the X1/9 is like
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who the X1/9 suits
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the X1/9 on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the X1/9 tells you more than any review.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Picking a year and a 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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
