The 1998 Cadillac DeVille for buyers
No 1998 Cadillac DeVille is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans.

A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 237 owner complaints on file, mostly about exterior lighting, service brakes and air bags. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Specs, explained
The 4.6L 8-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 39 litres, from its 13.1 L/100 km rating. Expect about $20.31 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. In plain terms, its 566 litres of luggage space hold bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A good match for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the DeVille answers the big questions. Rent the DeVille for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the DeVille answers more than any brochure.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
