2005 Escalade, 155k, one owner.
It needs a couple of things, of which 2/3 will be handled by the dealer before I buy it: the blower motor for the HVAC isn’t working, and the passenger mirror is busted. The driver’s seat doesn’t move up or down, I’m on the hook to fix that but I’m not worried by it.
I’ve looked at a few of these for her, and this was the cleanest by a margin. The seats are in great shape, no rust on it, runs and drives great. Won’t get the gas mileage her ML350 gets, but she drives so little that she doesn’t care.
I feel pretty good about it. She’s always wanted an Escalade, and since she’s lived in RI with me, she’s had hand-me-down cars (a 2000 Chrysler Town & Country, then the 2003 ML350). I buy so many cars, it was a bit overdue for her to get one. Plus her sorority sister just got a white Mercedes, and their sorority colors and white and red, so they’ll be happy matching like that.
We pick it up later this week. Hopefully her ML350 sells tomorrow and makes it seamless, but we’ll grab it by Friday either way.

For real. I never thought I’d be the house with two giant god damn SUVs in their driveway, but here I am. I wanted to get her an LX470, but she wanted the Escalade.

So your going to do that thing the red neck folks do and tie them up to see who can out pull each other right? Only kidding Tony Soprano would be proud! Hope all goes well with the dealership repairs.

I love a good Escalade. Big SUVs are the modern day extension of the American land yacht I always thought.

That’s a nice Tahoe... I mean Yukon... but seriously, nice find. I always liked the caddy red, my wife wasn’t a fan, but I think it’s one of their best colors. Nicely done.

Hahaha. I think the Land Cruiser wins handily...throw it in 4L, lock the diffs, and I’ll yank the Escalade down the street and around the corner.

They’re really the only old-school American luxury that’s left, since the cars all have to compete with ‘sporty’ BMW.

I really like the color, it’s a real red red...no orange to it, just a nice deep red. Plus I like all the neat angles of the truck, and the red highlights them nicely. Black would waste it.

I’ll have to see what the towing capacity is. Probably more than my Cruiser, which is good.

We are losing diversity of choice in the market anymore. All the more reason to like big SUV land yachts

That’s why I like the CT-6 and the new Continental. They are not sporty.
