Buying the 2011 Cadillac CTS
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Cadillac CTS for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2011 Cadillac CTS? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the CTS
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 108 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, air bags and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Engine and fuel
It is powered by the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 10.9 L/100 km: about 33 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $50.70 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Practical details
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.79 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is rated at 821 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the CTS for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the CTS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $169 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Talk to a person
