Car financing: the 2016 Cadillac CTS Premium

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Cadillac CTS Premium for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2016 Cadillac CTS Premium, here are the facts that matter.

Before you sign for the CTS

Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and engine; have those parts checked. 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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Reading the spec sheet

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Its combined rating is 9.6 L/100 km, which means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $50.40 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Living with the CTS

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. With a length of 5.02 m, it counts as on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Best uses

It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Drive it on your own roads

Drive the CTS on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Money matters

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $168 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
