Thinking of buying the 2011 Cadillac STS?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2011 Cadillac STS; this page helps you judge it 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. Before you buy the 2011 Cadillac STS, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
Power: the 3.6L 6-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
A combined rating of 11.2 L/100 km works out to about 34 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $17.36 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the STS
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Living with the STS
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is 396 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent the STS first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the STS answers the big questions. Drive the STS on your commute before you commit to it.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting.
Talk to a person
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
