Highlight Car of the Week in Richmond, VA: 2008 Cadillac DTS

 

Pea-green shag rugs, gold and mirrored headboards, casino lights, and a little bit of mafia comes to mind when looking at the 2008 Cadillac DTS. That’s because the 2008 Cadillac’s design reminisces the days of old when comfort, style, and trunk space were major concerns. The sharp lines and edges of the DTS paired with its long body of 207.6 inches mirror a more classic 1970s style. The traditional crate designed grille, taillight bars, and chrome accents are a blast from the past. If you are looking for a classically retro and comfortable ride on our Buy Here Pay Here lot at Airport Auto Sales or among the used cars in Richmond, VA the 2008 Cadillac DTS might be your ride.

The Cadillac DTS among used cars in Richmond, VA comes in classic colors like white, black, silver, red, and gold. Our Cadillac on our Buy Here Pay Here lot is gold which accents the sharp, angular lines best on this vehicle. The lines on this vehicle are quite straight and squared off, giving the vehicle that long 70s vibe. Some added angles to the hood and trunk bring the DTS into the 21st century with some edginess. The finishes on the exterior are all tastefully done. With aluminum alloy wheels, a perfectly grinned grill, and a fat bar of chrome running along the bottom of the trunk, the accents are neither ostentations or underwhelming. The DTS aspires to be the guy who walks into the room with an Armani suit on, a clean shave, and perfectly parted hair, but quiet enough that you may not notice him right away.

 

The interior of the DTS is by far the crowning achievement of the vehicle in our loft at Buy Here Pay Here lot at Airport Auto Sales in Richmond, VA

 

The best way to describe the interior is comfort, comfort, comfort. Draped in a specially tanned leather called Tehama, the seats and wreath crested steering wheel are distinct trademarks of Cadillac. The seats themselves feel like oversized La-Z-Boy chairs. Even the rear seating will be spacious and comfortable enough for larger, six-foot-tall passengers to recline in for extended driving. Not to be forgotten is the massive trunk this vehicle has. Being one of the largest trunk spaces on our Buy Here Pay Here lot at Airport Auto Sales, it’s no wonder the mafia loved this car for all of the extra…storage space. The dash and door panels are traced with a faux burly wood trim that contrasts nicely against the tan. Framing the control panel, all buttons are easily reachable and easy to use while driving. Dual climate control, eight-way powered seats with four-way adjustable lumbar support, auto-dimming rearview mirror, cruise control, automatic headlights with wiper activation, remote start, XM satellite radio, and OnStar all make the DTS pleasant and easy to ride in. It can not be said enough; there is nothing uncomfortable on the Cadillac DTS. This boat of a car will let you cruise down the road in comfort and style.

The most amazing aspect about the Cadillac DTS is its ability to be longer than the Escalade, but still have the handling of a much smaller vehicle. On straight highways, you might feel the steering to be a little loose, but the DTS tightens up nicely on curvy back roads. Shock absorption and power are both excellent with a 4.6L V8 engine that produces 292 horsepower at 6300 RPMs. The DTS will be the underestimated competitor for speed on the road. Overall the handling is smooth and quiet. Customers looking for a comfortable and capable large sedan among the used cars in Richmond, VA at Buy Here Pay Here lot at Airport Auto Sales will benefit from considering the DTS. As classy as your rich uncle and as comfortable as your grandpa’s old leather couch, the DTS is ready for drivers looking for a pleasant and smooth ride. If a Cadillac was good enough for the Rat Pack, count us in on the Cadillac DTS and call us Sinatra.
