The seller offers for sale a 1995 Cadillac Sedan DeVille equipped with a 4.9-litre V8 petrol engine and automatic transmission. This spacious luxury sedan was originally delivered new in California and was recently imported into the Netherlands, where it underwent aRDW inspection and received Dutch license plates. The car has covered 206,199 km with a confirmed and documented odometer reading.
The Cadillac benefits from a recent service that includes new engine oil, coolant, and a set of fresh tires in like-new condition. Additionally, the multi-belt, tensioners, engine mounts, steering joints, brake hoses, and brake fluid have all been replaced. The undercarriage remains clean, supported by its time in the dry Californian climate.
Mechanically, the DeVille is in a good shape. A minor issue with the air suspension control system is noted—a fault code is present, although the system is said to function correctly. The air conditioning works as expected, though the compressor is lightly audible.
The exterior paintwork is generally neat. The car has been resprayed once in its original color due to UV damage to the original paint. There is some minor damage to the clear coat on the rear roof section and a visible scratch-dent on the rear right fender. Overall, the body remains in strong visual condition with only minor blemishes.
Inside, the original leather upholstery is in good condition. There is some visible wear on both front seats and UV damage to the central dashboard area. The rear bench seat, door panels, carpet, and headliner are in good shape, contributing to a largely preserved interior environment.
The Cadillac DeVille has long served as one of General Motors’ most recognisable and enduring full-size sedans. By the mid-1990s, the model had transitioned into a front-wheel-drive platform while retaining a V8 powerplant—a rare combination that offered American luxury buyers the comfort of a large car with more manageable handling characteristics.
This generation of the DeVille was powered by the 4.9-litre L26 V8, which replaced earlier 4.5L engines and offered increased smoothness and reliability. While the Northstar V8 would arrive shortly after in later years, many Cadillac enthusiasts prefer the 4.9L engine for its simpler maintenance and solid reputation. The DeVille retained its traditional American styling: long overhangs, a plush ride, and a cabin that prioritised passenger comfort above all else.
Cadillac equipped these models with features like leather trim, power everything, climate control, and an expansive cabin with room for six adults. For buyers who wanted the Cadillac badge but not the complexity of newer electronic systems, the 1995 Sedan DeVille represented a comfortable compromise between modern convenience and classic feel.
With a clean Californian body, confirmed mileage, and a suite of recent mechanical updates, this example offers an attractive entry point for someone looking to enjoy 1990s American luxury—whether for daily cruising, long-distance touring, or hobbyist collecting.
