Buying the 1988 Cadillac DeVille
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1988 Cadillac DeVille for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 1988 Cadillac DeVille, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
The numbers in plain words
Under the hood: the 4.5L 8-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Rated at 13.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 41 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km weekend costs about $64.17 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Practical details
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 453 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the DeVille for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the DeVille for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.39 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
