The 1998 Cadillac DeVille: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1998 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. This page puts the 1998 Cadillac DeVille in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the DeVille
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 237 owner complaints on file, mostly about exterior lighting, service brakes and air bags. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The numbers in plain words
The engine is the 4.6L 8-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
At 13.1 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 39 litres of fuel. Every 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Inside and out
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 566 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
If the DeVille is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the DeVille on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the DeVille answers the big questions.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Ready when you are
