2001 Cadillac Seville SLS
2001 Cadillac Seville SLS
Combined MPG: 18
Trade-in value: $2,300
Verdict: Crush it
This big cushy Caddy has lost a lot of value over the years, making it worth well less than $4,500 at trade-in. And it gets just 18 mpg in combined city and highway driving, so it qualifies.

If you're considering selling this car yourself, you'd be far better off taking the government's payment for a new, less gas-hungry car. The caddy is only worth only about $3,700.

Unfortunately, if you do take the "cash for clunkers," you might have a hard time finding a car that matches your old Caddy's luxury while getting the required 22 mpg in combined driving.

NEXT: 2001 Buick Park Avenue
