The 1985 GMC Pickup for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1985 GMC Pickup; this page helps you judge it 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. Before you buy the 1985 GMC Pickup, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 4 owner complaints on file, mostly about fuel system and service brakes. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so budget about 34 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $17.36 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.
When the Pickup makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Pickup for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the Pickup for a week and see how it fits your life.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
