Buying the 1992 Ford Explorer
No 1992 Ford Explorer is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. 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 1992 Ford Explorer is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Explorer
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 633 owner complaints on file, mostly about tires, service brakes and power train. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 4.0L 6-cylinder; drive: all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Fuel use is rated 13.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 41 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $21.39 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Being a van, it carries people and their bags without fuss.
A good match for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Explorer on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Explorer for a week and see how it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $213.90 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 1992 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.
