Buying the 1985 Ford EXP
No 1985 Ford EXP is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 1985 Ford EXP? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the EXP
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
Its 1.6L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 27 litres, from its 9.0 L/100 km rating. Every 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Best uses
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the EXP for a week and see how it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Try the EXP on your commute, then decide.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 1985 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.
