Thinking of buying the 2018 Cadillac XTS?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Cadillac XTS for sale by us right now. This page helps you judge the 2018 Cadillac XTS before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 3.6L 6-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 32 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.6 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $49.29 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. In plain terms, its 510 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the XTS for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the XTS on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.43 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
