2010 Cadillac DTS Overview

Price Range: $46,280 to $59,475

Your Price: Ask Us

If it’s good enough for our president’s limo, it’s good enough for our luxury ride. The 2010 Cadillac DTS is a full-size smooth-cruiser with chief-executive luxury appointments.

CED (chief executive driver) power lurks under the hood thanks to a 4.6-liter V-8 that is tuned for either 275 or 292 horsepower, depending on the model. This sweet motor is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission to deliver 15 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. Power and fuel economy numbers are competitive with V-8 offerings in the Volvo S80 and Acura RL.

Interior space far exceeds the comparably priced BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Volvo S80—not to mention the far more expensive BMW 750 and Jaguar XJ. Some interior metrics like rear legroom are several inches ahead of other luxury sedans near the DTS’s price. In the DTS are standard/optional features such as leather seating for five, heated front seats, simulated wood trim, dual zone automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, OnStar, XM Satellite Radio and a CD player.

The Luxury model includes a sunroof and a six-CD changer. The Premium model includes climate control for the rear, real wood interior trim, a DVD-based navigation system and optional Bose speakers. The Platinum model adds NavTraffic to the XM Satellite Radio setup, exquisite Tuscany leather seating, hand-cut and sewn leather on the dash and doors, wood and chrome trim and a synthetic suede headliner.

While the DTS you find on the showroom floor will not feature the five-inch-thick bullet-proof glass or explosion-resistant construction of the president's DTS, it does an excellent job of keeping its occupants safe. Dual front, front-side and two-row head airbags cushion occupants during impact, while a well-engineered chassis and body structure has both great strength and appropriate crumple zones for energy absorption. The 2010 Cadillac DTS achieves a Five-Star rating for the driver on front impact, and Four-Star ratings for the rest of the impact tests. A blind spot warning system, along with lane departure warning system, antilock brakes, traction control and stability control all help the driver safely maneuver the DTS.

Power, luxury, and safety combine with the cool factor of driving the same car the president rides in, to make the 2010 Cadillac DTS a great luxury car. You get all that at a price that leaves most similarly-sized competition looking under-equipped or ridiculously overpriced.

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?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

 

 

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?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

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?
