What the Cadillac DTS sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the DTS, latest tested year 2011:
The label also prints an estimated $3,450 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 494 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the DTS under Large Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the DTS's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2006 to 2011. Worth checking before you compare a DTS sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used DTS sells for now
The label froze the DTS price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the DTS by model year, from 137 live US listings:
| Model year | Median asking price | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 2011 | 15 listings | |
| 2010 | 12 listings | |
| 2009 | 20 listings | |
| 2008 | 37 listings | |
| 2007 | 11 listings | |
| 2006 | 42 listings |
A 2011 DTS asks a median $7,500 today, a 2006 about $7,200. Full breakdown on the Cadillac DTS value page.

Where to find the VIN on a Cadillac DTS
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every DTS, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Cadillac DTS all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Cadillac DTS whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
