Question:
We get quite a few emails from Cadillac owners asking for advice on their
Cadillac. I try to steer them in the right direction but by not knowing the
exact condition of the Cadillac it is really hard to give a value or
recommend a fix sometimes. Keep in mind that these fixes or solutions may
not be the best ones for you. Just something to keep in mind as you read
from other owners.
I have been driving a 1988 Cadillac De ville for the past 5 years and the
head gasket just blew (3 weeks ago). I know that one day this car will be a
classic. I am looking to sell this car RIGHT NOW. What are your thoughts
about the car and how much do you think that I can sell it for?
Thanks for everything,
Gabrielle
Answer
Hi Gabrielle
Thanks for writing, I have the new price guide in my hand and there are two
different models of the 1988 Deville the 2 door coupe and the 4 door sedan.
You can tell which one you have by the amount of doors.
I will give you three prices for each model and see where yours fits in, a
low a middle and a high price. Lets start with the 2 door coupe. The low
price is $1600 the average price is $3150 and the high is $4200.
The 4 door sedan the low price is $1550 the average is $3000 and the high is
$4075. As you can see the 2 door is more valuable but not by much. Not
knowing which Cadillac you own and what shape it is in I really can't give
you an exact price for what you will get for your car.
You could check a few spots, EBay and Craigslist. On EBay you can place your
car in a search and on the lower left of the results page check the box that
says "completed auctions" and you will see how much your car has sold for
recently. You can pretty much get an idea using Craigslist the same way.
You can sell your Cadillac for free on
CaddyChat.com. There are always Cadillac owners looking to buy a new
Cadillac there.
