New Cadillac Vehicles Overview

For Cadillac, 2010 brings a plethora of changes.  The first and most recognizable one is the complete redesign of the SRX midsize crossover.  Cadillac has scaled down the SRX in every regard, including price, weight, and power.  The SRX now seats five, ditches the V-8 for a 265-horsepower, 3.0-liter V-6 and rests on a new front-wheel drive platform.  The smaller engine accounts for slight increases in fuel economy. The SRX now competes with the Audi Q5, Acura MDX, Lexus RX and Lincoln MKX.

Cadillac’s CTS sport sedan undergoes several changes for 2010 including the addition of the CTS Sport Wagon.  The CTS Sport Wagon boasts 25 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 53 cubic feet when the seats are folded.  Both the wagon and the sedan receive a new 270-horsepower, 3.0-liter V-6 base engine. The crazy-powerful CTS-V sport sedan features a supercharged 556-horsepower V-8 engine with Magnetic Ride Control shock absorbers and micro-fiber interior trim.

The STS midsize sedan features a 302-horsepower, 3.6-liter direct-injection V-6, while the much more powerful STS-V has been discontinued.

Cadillac’s flagship is its full-size DTS sedan offered with a choice of two Northstar V-8 engines. The DTS can hold five or six passengers and competes with the Lincoln MKS, Volvo S80 and Chrysler 300C.

The Escalade Hybrid SUV is Cadillac’s first entry into the fuel-saving segment. The Escalade Hybrid features a 2-Mode Hybrid system that incorporates a 332-horsepower, 6.0-liter V-8 gasoline engine and a 300-volt battery pack. Fuel economy is increased 50 percent and the Escalade Hybrid gets 20 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway.

Not to be forgotten is the gasoline only, stylish and spacious Escalade that seats up to eight people and hosts many luxurious appointments. Cadillac also offers the long wheelbase Escalade ESV which adds nearly 10 inches of legroom and increases cargo room from 16.9 cubic feet to 45.8 cubic feet. The Escalade EXT, which is Cadillac’s version of GM’s truck/SUV crossover, like all other Escalade’s gains USB connectivity and front passenger side airbags.

The XLR and XLR-V have been discontinued.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

 

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

 

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

 

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

 

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

 

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

 

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?
