Buying the 1985 Chevrolet Nova
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1985 Chevrolet Nova 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. Buying the 1985 Chevrolet Nova is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. 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.
Engine and fuel
It runs the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with 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.
Expect about 24 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.1 L/100 km combined rating. In money, 1,000 km costs about $125.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Living with the Nova
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 396 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
Rent the Nova first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the Nova on your commute, then decide.
What it costs to run
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
