The 1988 Isuzu Pickup for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1988 Isuzu Pickup for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 1988 Isuzu Pickup for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Pickup
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 2.3L 4-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 35 litres, from its 11.8 L/100 km rating. Every 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The Pickup in everyday use
It is built for loads that would never fit in a trunk.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
A longer test drive
Drive the Pickup on your commute before you commit to it. A test week in the Pickup tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $182.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 1988 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Next step
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
