It helps to be prepared for the winter, and that’s true of Cadillac service as well. By scheduling a maintenance visit before the cold sets in, you can fine-tune your engine for the winter weather. That’s why the Scott Cadillac team recommends bringing your vehicle in for these essential winterizing services. Oil Change and Engine Service Your engine should be inspected before winter to look for any damaged spark plugs or signs of overheating. While you’re at it, you should also check your oil levels and replace the oil if you’re running low or the oil quality isn’t stellar. Brake Service You’ll rely on your brakes heavily during the winter, especially if you drive on snowy or icy streets. That’s why we recommend checking your brake pads and replacing them if they’re worn down. Tire Service Before you drive on a cold day, make sure you check your tires for any signs of lost air pressure. Uneven tire inflation causes uneven wear and tear, which can prevent your vehicle from maintaining traction. Speaking of wear and tear, you should also inspect tread depth on your tires and replace them if they’re too worn down. Battery Service Make sure you inspect the battery and perform a load test to ensure it’s holding a proper charge. Batteries experience additional stress in extreme temperatures, so make sure to report any battery-related problems to our dealership. Heater Service Nobody wants their car heater to fail on a cold winter’s day. That’s why you should inspect your air conditioning and heating systems to ensure that warm air is getting properly distributed across the cabin.

Safety Numerous safety features come standard on all Cadillac models, including Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Alert, and Automatic Emergency Braking.

Shopping for a new car means deciding between a Cadillac lease or financing. The Scott Cadillac financing team has assisted numerous drivers in figuring out which option is right for them. We’re ready to help you as well. Here are some of the top benefits of leasing over financing. Lower Monthly Payments The most well-known benefit of leasing a vehicle is that your monthly payments will be lower than if you financed the same model. During your lease term, you won’t be paying the full value of the vehicle – just its depreciation over the lease term. Thus, if you’re looking to save money in the short-term or aren’t sure if you want to buy the car, you can lease the vehicle to spend some time behind the wheel. Flexible Leasing and Maintenance Options You can add several different maintenance and service plans to your leased vehicle, including protective services and additional benefits. This includes additional warranties and service specials, which will be reflected in your monthly total. We’ll work with you to find the best lease terms, including the length of your lease and additional services you may want. No Ownership Worries Maybe you don’t want to be fully responsible for the vehicle, or you want to keep up with new models without committing to a specific one. Whatever the case, you can leave the ownership worries to us when you lease a model. You can turn it in after the lease ends and lease another vehicle right away. Of course, if you want to keep the car, you have the option to buy it outright. Learn About Cadillac Lease Options in Allentown, PA Want to learn more about Cadillac lease plans and compare them to financing options?

When you’re shopping for a pre-owned Cadillac model, one big question you may wonder is how long it can last. With proper maintenance and upkeep, a pre-owned Cadillac vehicle can outshine any other vehicle on the road. That’s why Scott Cadillac recommends these tips for extending the life of your pre-owned model. How Long Can a Pre-Owned Cadillac Last? The lifespan of a Cadillac vehicle will depend on its history, including service, upkeep, and how the previous drivers treated it. The Bureau of Transportation Services estimates that a model runs for up to 13 years before needing to be retired. That’s roughly equivalent to at least 200,000 miles on the odometer. Results will vary, but a pre-owned vehicle can last for years with the right driver and proper attention. Extending Your Vehicle’s Lifespan There are several things you can do to extend the life of your pre-owned Cadillac model, including: • Keeping up with routine service: Proper maintenance means scheduling regular service. • Driving defensively: Never put your vehicle in stressful situations like braking too fast or turning too hard. • Sticking with OEM parts: When you replace something on your vehicle, make sure you stick with genuine parts for peak compatibility and performance. Maintenance and Service Whether you’re cruising in an old school Cadillac model or have a more recent pre-owned vehicle, the number one step to extending your model’s lifespan is proper upkeep. This includes bringing your vehicle in for routine services like oil changes and tire rotations, and also entails preventative service that caps mechanical issues before they become a major problem. Schedule Service for Your Pre-Owned Cadillac Model in Allentown, PA If you’re driving a pre-owned Cadillac model and want to properly maintain it, our dealership will be happy to help you.

There’s nothing quite like an old school Cadillac model, especially if you adore retro cars. These models aren’t just a fascinating look at the history of automobiles, but also a testament to how modern Cadillac vehicles honor their legacy. Courtesy of Scott Cadillac, here’s a brief history of three famous Cadillac models and how they influenced later vehicles. Cadillac Eldorado (1952-2002) The Cadillac Eldorado redefined personal luxury on the road thanks to its impressive coupe design. This model was at the forefront of technology, including digital signal processing and Radio Data System support – technologies still used today. It also featured a standard V8 engine throughout its manufacturing life, showing the commitment to high performance that’s also found in modern Cadillac vehicles. Cadillac Deville (1959-2005) As one of the most popular Cadillac models, many drivers hold the Cadillac Deville near and dear to their heart. By the end of its lifespan, it featured electronically controlled ignition – a modern invention that helped cars refine the ignition process. This model also featured a precision-engineered four-wheel independent suspension that read changes in the road to provide superior handling. Cadillac Seville (1976-2004) While the Cadillac Seville was smaller than many other models on the road, it didn’t lack innovative features and luxury. Its available Tripmaster electronic driver display helped set the stage for modern driver information displays by giving you easy electronic access to vital vehicle statistics. This model also featured an electronically controlled dual-zone climate control system, giving both drivers and passengers their own temperature control. The Old School Cadillac Spirit Lives On While these vehicles are no longer being produced, their impact is still felt in many modern Cadillac models, whether it be their focus on performance or their innovative luxury features.

Part of securing the best Cadillac financing terms is knowing how much you can afford to spend on your vehicle each month. That’s why the 20/4/10 rule is an important benchmark for drivers looking to buy a new or pre-owned vehicle. Learn more about this rule in detail below, and contact Scott Cadillac with any other financing questions you may have. 20% Down Payment The 20/4/10 rule refers to three figures to aim for with your Cadillac financing plan, starting with your down payment. It’s recommended that you put a down payment equal to 20% of the vehicle price at signing to help reduce principle and show your financial institution that you’re serious about car buying. You can put more money down if you’re able to, but 20% is a good goal to aim for. Four-Year Terms The second part of this rule refers to four-year terms, which is the recommended maximum length for financing terms. Financing your car in 48 months or fewer ensures that you aren’t paying too much in interest while also ensuring that your monthly payment fits within your budget. Longer financing terms may reduce your monthly premium, but you’ll pay more in interest over time. 10% Vehicle Operation Costs Finally, you need to budget out enough money for monthly vehicle expenses. This includes financing costs as well as gas, oil, and any service and maintenance costs. You should avoid spending more than 10% of your monthly post-tax income on your vehicle.
