The 2012 Cadillac SRX for buyers
No 2012 Cadillac SRX 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 monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2012 Cadillac SRX, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the SRX
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the figures tell you
The 3.6L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
By the EPA's combined rating of 12.3 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 37 litres. Every 100 km costs about $19.07 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the SRX
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
What the SRX is like
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
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. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. 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.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.07 in fuel.
