Vehicle is in  very good condition overall, and this Escalade sold for over $70,000 originally.  Please see below:

Mechanically this vehicle runs and drives beautifully with a ride that you would expect from a Cadillac.  Car starts well and  drives and shifts smoothly.  Vehicle has lots of power and excellent acceleration.  There are no known issues with motor or trans at all.  Vehicle has been maintained with regular oil changes and serviced as needed.  It will also come with a fresh oil change before purchase.  Start the car with the key or use the Remote Car Starter which allows you to warm up the car in the winter and cool it in the summer.  I just replaced the remotes so it will come with brand new Car Starter/Keyless Entry remotes.

The exterior of this car shines like new with chrome accents.  Paint is in excellent condition with only minor door dings and rock chips as you would expect.  The rear bumper has a very minor flaw in it, but it is hardly noticeable.  I have included a picture so that you can see this area clearly.  Windows are tinted for privacy which also makes the vehicle look very ritzy.  Front windshield has two  minor chips from rocks, but these have been there for a year and have not spread.  Power sunroof functions well.  Side running boards make entering/exiting the vehicle easy, and they add a nice chrome look to the car.  Mirrors function properly and none are damaged.

Interior is loaded with beautiful beige leather interior.  Seats also have Cadillac logo on headrests, and floors are protected by custom Cadillac floormats with matching Cadillac Logo.  Seats have no rips or tears, but some of the leather is showing signs of wear particularly on seat bottoms.  Please see pictures.  Vehicle comes with heavy duty rear cargo cover and a rubber cargo liner.  This is great for protecting your carpet underneath, and this has always been in place so the cargo carpet is in great condition.   DVD system works perfectly as do both screens.  Radio and navigation appear to be functioning as they should.  Car has two toned dash and beautiful woodgrain accents. 

Vehicle comes with 20" tires and premium chrome wheels. Tire tread is shown in pictures.  Vehicle comes with Tire Pressure Monitoring System. There is one tire that is reading "0" and the tire pressure monitor light comes on when you start the car. I suspect that the sensor on that tire has probably gone bad.  This was not a feature that I really used so I didn't replaced it, but if you want it looks like a new sensor sells for about $35-40 on Ebay.   This vehicle comes with a full sized spare. 

The only other issue that I know of is that the speedometer and the lights below it have  been working intermittently.  I have been told that this is likely due to a speedometer clock motor which can be rebuilt through a service on Ebay for less than $75.  As mentioned this is working intermittently so when you see/drive the vehicle it may work fine.  This does not affect the odometer's function so the mileage on the vehicle is true and accurate.   This vehicle is still being driven occasionally (ex. to get the oil changed, etc.) so the mileage may be slightly different at the end of the auction.  Vehicle is also for sale locally. 

Car has current Virginia Safety inspection and comes with a clear title.  You are welcome to see and drive the vehicle prior to bidding or you may have a mechanic inspect the car on your behalf.  I will be happy to ship this vehicle, but you are responsible for all shipping costs and liabilities associated with doing so.

This is a NO RESERVE auction!
