Car financing: beige 2016 Cadillac CTS Luxury in Yameri

The 2016 Cadillac CTS Luxury for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Cadillac CTS Luxury; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2016 Cadillac CTS Luxury in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. 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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Reading the spec sheet

It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

The combined figure, 9.6 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $16.80, and a 300 km weekend about $50.40. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who it is for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Practical details

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. It measures 5.02 m long by 1.83 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Try before you buy

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the CTS answers more than any brochure.

Which one to look for

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Compare the Luxury with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Running costs

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. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
