The 1985 Cadillac DeVille: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1985 Cadillac DeVille; 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. Before buying the 1985 Cadillac DeVille, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 19 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, steering and electrical system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Reading the spec sheet

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Living with the DeVille

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the DeVille for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Picking a year and a trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 1985 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
