2004 Cadillace Escalade

123,599 miles

Brand New Transmission

20” Chrome Rims and Custom Grille

VIN 1GYEK63N24R238860


We are selling our 2004 Cadillac Escalade.  We purchased this from a family friend in October of 2006, coming off of lease.  We originally paid $37,770, with 34,390 miles.  My wife drives this 4 days a week for the past seven years to commute to work, which is about 10 miles each way.  She has averaged about 12,000 miles per year.  Other than that, we use it to haul the 3 kids here and there.


We are selling the truck because I recently purchased a new vehicle, so the wife has the itch for a new truck.  We are going to sell this and get a late model Yukon or Tahoe.  We have had this for just over seven years, and my wife has treated this truck better than me.  She washes it by hand every weekend, towel drying and vacuuming.  It’s a beautiful looking truck.  The dark tinted windows against the white paint, along with the aftermarket chrome 20” rims make this truck stand out when she comes down the street.  Not to mention, the aftermarket exhaust makes a sweet deep rumble.  It really is a special car.  


We almost traded it in last year, and just as we were in the process of shopping for a new car, there was an issue with the transmission.  Instead of taking a chance on a $700 repair, we decided to have the dealer install a new GM Certified Transmission with a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty (parts and labor) for a cost to us of $3,300!  So, our loss is your gain!  It would have been much more difficult to sell a truck with a transmission issue, so we bit the bullet. With that being said, this is probably the only Escalade on the market with a new transmission.  


Below is a list of everything I can think of regarding both the positives, and the potential future work needed:


Awesome Features:

  • Brand new GM Transmission with 3 year/100,000 mile parts and labor warranty.  This was replaced in the beginning of February.  We paid $3,300.  All work was done by Holman Cadillac in Turnersville, NJ.

  • 20” Chrome Tezzen Struck aftermarket wheels with 295/50 tires.  Original cost was $2,555 (I have a copy of the invoice).  The 295/50 low profile really makes the wheels stand out.  I do have the original wheels if you would prefer.  I included a picture of these.

  • All four tires are approximately 12 months old.

  • This is about a $800-$1,000 value.

  • Custom aftermarket chrome grille.  Original cost was $1,269 (I have a copy of the invoice).

  • Navigation

  • Sirius

  • On-Star

  • Heated Leather Seats

  • Overhead DVD Entertainment

  • Tow package (we never used it)

  • 3rd row seating

  • 2 owners

  • All work (including oil changes) performed by a Cadillac Dealership (other than new tires)

  • All service records

  • Treated like a baby


Any time I sell a car, I list everything that I am aware of that would need to be done to the vehicle.  I would hope someone does the same for me.  You can be assured anything listed is everything we are aware of.  


Potential upcoming maintenance:

  • You may want to have spark plugs replaced along with regular maintenance items that you would usually replace for a car this age.  

  • There are two messages that show up on the dashboard:

    • One references the tire pressure.  Because these are aftermarket wheels, without the internal tire pressure gauge, this warning pops up that the computer doesn’t read the pressure from the tires.  This of course isn’t an issue, as the tires are fine, but it does show up.

    • The other is for the Ride Service Control.  There is some type of rear shock that adjusts the height of the back of the truck depending on what is loaded in the back.  The compressor no longer works, but we never noticed a difference.  We didn’t notice any change in the ride, so we opted not to repair it.  Your choice.

  • The paint is immaculate, but you’ll see there are two small spots missing paint on the passenger front bumper.  I actually didn’t notice this until I took pictures of the car.

  • The air conditioner will sometimes blow warm on one side.  After a few minutes, or when the car is restarted, it will correct itself.  I’ve looked it up and it could be low on freon which is an easy fix.  However, we have not had it assessed by the dealer.  

  • DVD player can be quirky.  Every once in a while, we have to turn the car off then on again to get it to read the disc.


We are sad to see the Escalade go, as it’s been good to us.  Please give me a call on my cell at 610-389-8472 or email at johnplumley@gmail.com if you have any questions or you would like to come by to check it out.


Thanks,

John

2014 Cadillac ELR

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

Well, this is awkward.
A few years ago, Audi Of America's boss Johan de Nysschen went on record describing the Chevrolet Volt as "a car for idiots." Fast-forward to earlier this summer, and the well-regarded executive suddenly found himself in a new office with new business cards bearing the title: President, Cadillac. That means that among other challenges, de Nysschen is now tasked with selling the ELR, a car that is, at its core, a Volt in a sportier, less utile frock wearing a price tag that's twice as expensive.
Frankly, it's not a prospect we imagine the South African executive and recent Infiniti boss relishes. Just about nobody is buying the ELR - Cadillac has sold but 774 examples of its plug-in hybrid coupe this year and it presently has an almost a 200-day supply according to Automotive News. What's more, those numbers actually represent big improvements over just a few months ago, before GM started heaping on the incentives. The cynic in us says that the bad news for De Nysschen is that he's got a borderline sales-proof car in his new corporate garage. The good news? Cadillac customers apparently aren't idiots.

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak out yet again

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

It seems the 2014 Cadillac CTS just doesn't want to stay under wraps. For the second time in as many days, Caddy's next sedan is showing a bit more sheetmetal than the automaker would like before it is officially debuted tomorrow at the New York Auto Show.
This time, the leak comes from USA Today, and we've gone ahead and added them to our gallery of 2014 CTS images. As you may know, Cadillac will bestow the next CTS with an all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will offer up an impressive 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
USA Today also mentions a new Vsport model but doesn't give any more details other than the fact that it will boast the twin-turbo engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all you have to do is come back to these pages for the official unveiling tomorrow afternoon for all the sordid details. In the meantime, check out the images above.

Cadillac gives enthusiasts an early look at its next high-performance sedans

Mon, Feb 1 2021

Cadillac will introduce a pair of sport sedans named CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing, respectively, at 7 p.m. Eastern today (February 1). While car companies routinely drum up excitement for new models by releasing tightly-cropped or blacked-out images, Cadillac surprised us with a photo, and a TV spot that aired during the Rolex 24 at Daytona, that shows both cars in their entirety. Somewhat confusingly, the CT4-V and the CT5-V are not direct replacements for the ATS-V and the CTS-V; they're mid-range models, and they're powered, equipped, and priced accordingly. It's these flagship Blackwing variants that will pick up where the last-generation Vs left off with a significant bump in power, numerous chassis tweaks, and a more aggressive-looking design. They'll arrive in showrooms in time for the 2022 model year. Blackwing drivers won't draw unnecessary attention to themselves, because the visual changes are relatively subtle. Riding on model-specific wheels, the CT4-V Blackwing gains bigger air intakes on the front end, vents punched into the fenders, and a low-key body kit that adds a front splitter, front winglets, and a trunk-mounted spoiler. Cadillac gave the CT5-V a similar treatment, and it mounted the rear wheels on surprisingly wide tires. Cadillac pointed out the Blackwing sedans benefit from the world's fastest-reacting suspension system. It's likely the fourth evolution of its magnetic ride control technology, which it detailed in October 2020.  While full specifications remain under wraps until the duo's unveiling, we know that both sedans will be available with a six-speed manual transmission. It's reasonable to assume that an automatic (likely the familiar 10-speed) will be offered as well. As for what's under the hood, our crystal ball tells us that the CT5-V will land with a V8 engine, though it won't be the short-lived twin-turbocharged Blackwing unit that gave both cars their name. Enginers might have selected an evolution of the CTS-V's 6.2-liter. As for the CT4-V, it will receive the ATS-V's 3.6-liter turbocharged V6. Both models will be exclusively available with rear-wheel-drive. Enthusiasts who want to secure an early built slot will have the chance to reserve a 2022 CT4-V Blackwing or a 2022 CT5-V Blackwing by visiting Cadillac's website shortly after the sedans are unveiled on February 1. As we previously reported, the first 250 units of each car will wear a numbered plaque on the steering wheel.
