The 2011 Cadillac DTS: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Cadillac DTS 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. Before you buy the 2011 Cadillac DTS, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 16 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and air bags; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 4.6L 8-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 39 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 13.1 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $20.31 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 538 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the DTS answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. 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.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
