Buying the 2001 Cadillac DeVille

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2001 Cadillac DeVille for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2001 Cadillac DeVille, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Before you sign for the DeVille

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Specs, explained

Its 4.6L 8-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Combined fuel use is 13.1 L/100 km: about 39 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Living with the DeVille

As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 538 litres of luggage space hold bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A test week in the DeVille tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

What it costs to run

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
