Cadillac CTS Sedan keeps an estimated 50% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #503 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Cadillac CTS Sedan retains an estimated 50% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #503 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 5 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cadillac CTS Sedan sheds about 10% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $46,995 it falls to around $23,497 by year five — a five-year loss near $23,498, about $12.88 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Cadillac CTS Sedan bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
