The 1981 Cadillac DeVille: before you buy

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1981 Cadillac DeVille for sale by us right now. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. For anyone shopping for the 1981 Cadillac DeVille, here are the facts that matter.

What to check on the DeVille

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Reading the spec sheet

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

Space, size and seats

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.

Good uses for the DeVille

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Try before you buy

Drive the DeVille on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the DeVille answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Narrowing it down

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 1981 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
