Buying the 1986 GMC Pickup
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1986 GMC Pickup for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 1986 GMC Pickup? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the Pickup
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 3 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, fuel system and service brakes. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Under the hood
Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
The EPA rates it at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 34 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $17.36 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits moving day, renovation runs and anything that needs an open bed. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Room inside
Being a pickup truck, it trades parking ease for a cargo bed.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the Pickup is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
