Car leasing: the 2001 Cadillac DeVille

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2001 Cadillac DeVille for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Buying the 2001 Cadillac DeVille is a big decision; here is the information we have.

A buyer's checks

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 175 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and service brakes; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Reading the spec sheet

The 4.6L 8-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed automatic, drives it. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

A combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km works out to about 39 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $22.93 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

How big it is

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 538 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

A longer test drive

Drive the DeVille on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Year and trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting.
