The 1988 Cadillac DeVille: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so 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. Here is the 1988 Cadillac DeVille for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the DeVille
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 28 complaints with NHTSA, most often about vehicle speed control, steering and service brakes; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the figures tell you
The powertrain to know here is the 4.5L 8-cylinder, with 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.
Expect about 41 litres for every 300 km, going by its 13.8 L/100 km combined rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $213.90 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 453 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
When the DeVille makes sense
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
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. Rent the DeVille for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $213.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.39 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 1988 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
