The 1996 Cadillac DeVille: before you buy
No 1996 Cadillac DeVille is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 1996 Cadillac DeVille, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
Its powertrain is the 4.6L 8-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined, it needs around 39 litres for a 300 km round trip. Expect about $22.93 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 566 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the DeVille
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the DeVille answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the DeVille answers more than any brochure.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
