Used Car of the Day: 2014 Cadillac ELR

by Tim Healey

Published: October 1st, 2024

Today the UCOTD is a 2014 Cadillac ELR. I don't think we've had one of these before.

This one has the Luxury Package and about 83K miles on the clock. It also has adaptive cruise control and new wheels and tires.

It also has heated seats and the CUE infotainment system was replaced somewhere along the line. The seller will include the chargers -- both Level 1 and Level 2.

The seller tells us the car is in good shape and the asking price for this Seattle-area ride is $12,500.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

83,000+ miles on a car that only goes 75 miles per charge is pretty amazing.

  Nope, had I'm an idiot. Didn't realize they were plug-in hybrids until your comment and then research. I thought they were electric only. Definitely more interesting now.

One of the best looking Cadillacs ever made IMO. They had used one at the dealership where I bought my Volt(also used) that they tried to sell me, but with 3 young boys at the time I needed something with 4 doors. Should have at least taken it for a test drive. The Volt does have the Caddy white metallic paint on it, a $1000 option in 2013, so there's that!....LOL If you're going to buy an ELR pass over the the 2014 models & get the much improved 2016 model. There is no 2015 model.

Jeff It is a good idea to move your vehicles and your family to higher ground before a flood unless you have a vehicle that is a piece of junk and you want to get rid of it.
Jeff Look at the inside carpet, doors, under the hood, and any scents that might be used to hide mold and water smell. One thing to look for on a late model used vehicle is rust inside the doors and anything that looks like a mark where water has settled inside the vehicle. My father bought a used station wagon after a major hurricane after our family station wagon was totaled. The wagon my father bought had a musty smell and there was rust inside the doors despite the car being only 2 years old and spending its life in Texas. After he bought it we found out the car had been in an area that flooded during the hurricane likely salt water. That station wagon had numerous issues with wiring and the transmission went out several times. Car had to be repainted because the paint faded and wore off. We owned that station wagon for 2 years and finally traded it in on a new station wagon that my parents ordered. At the time my father bought that flood damaged wagon he had ordered a new car for himself and didn't want to spend the money on a new wagon. There was a shortage of good used cars after the hurricane and my father thought he got a good deal because it was cheaper than many older cars available at the time. Lesson learned.
MRF 95 T-Bird You could make the argument that buying an older flood damaged car with few if any electrical components might be worthwhile. Say an MG or Triumph, Lucas price of darkness notwithstanding. A first generation Mustang or even an NA Miata. Renting a steam cleaner power washer. A can of CRC connector cleaner and some WD-40 can work wonders. Plus replacement parts aren’t too expensive and easy to replace.
Victor The US factories will never be able to compete with chinese labor, and that's the main issue. Maybe the liberal in you won't care. The economy will, though
ToolGuy I spend my money on gasoline, taxes and food. (Also taxes on gasoline and taxes on food.) No money left for flood-damaged cars, and that is how I avoid buying flood-damaged cars.
