Bottom Line The 5-Series sedans and wagons aren't the most practical or the best values in their class, but they're very enjoyable to drive. The STS is middle-of-the-pack in many respects, but it stands out as Cadillac’s technology flagship.

* Based on data collected from 18,985 classifieds ads
Where do you get these numbers?
We scan classified ads and analyze them to determine which car they relate to.
We combine this data with other sources like a vehicle's MSRP to determine the validity of each calculated price.
We do this over time and save the results so we can show you the second-hand price history of various models.

My car does not have data
For some models we don't have reliable data.
This can happen for various reasons, like we didn't find enough ads, or the price variance was too large.
In such cases, to avoid providing misleading information we don't show that model in the graph.
