The 1985 GMC S15 Pickup: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1985 GMC S15 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. This page helps you judge the 1985 GMC S15 Pickup before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the S15 Pickup
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the specs mean
The powertrain to know here is the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 8.6 L/100 km, which means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $39.99 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,475 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the S15 Pickup suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Size and space
A pickup is long and tall, so plan for parking and low garages.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the S15 Pickup answers more than any brochure. Drive the S15 Pickup on your commute before you commit to it.
Which one to look for
Within the 1985 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $133.30 at our price setting.
