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

Cadillac to augment dealers with 700 'boutique' stores

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Johan de Nysschen is on a mission to revitalize Cadillac. Since taking over as chief executive of the American luxury brand, the former Audi and Infiniti exec has set about moving the brand's headquarters to New York, switched advertising firms, launched a completely new naming scheme for its model line, and has a whole raft of new products planned. And now he's working on changing how its dealer network operates. Speaking at both the Washington Auto Show and the NADA dealers' convention in San Francisco this week, de Nysschen has outlined a new plan for its US dealers. The network presently consists of over 900 stores – some 200 of which are stand-alone Cadillac dealers, with the remaining 700 attached to other GM brand showrooms. Contrary to earlier fears, de Nysschen notes that the dealer network is larger and covers more territory than those of import brands, and has no intention of cutting that number down. But he is asking those 700 mixed-brand dealers to create a new showroom experience for Cadillac customers. In this latest announcement, Cadillac refers to a new model of "boutique" showrooms that will encompass new technologies, higher-trained staff and luxury amenities to give those attached Cadillac showrooms a more unique feel. The plan includes installing "virtual showroom" systems that will allow potential customers to configure a new car using interactive displays and "potentially even holograms." The plan also calls for "new standards for compensation... with more precise alignment of local sales and potential for each dealer" in order to make sure that the requisite investment in the infrastructure and staff training are worthwhile for the dealers. Just what form these new systems will take, we don't know at this point. Nor are we sure why Cadillac isn't including its 200 stand-alone "flagship" dealers in the initiative. But we're sure we'll be finding out more about de Nysschen's plans on the dealer front in due course. Cadillac Discusses U.S. Dealer Network Development 2015-01-22 WASHINGTON, D.C. – As part of Cadillac's overall mission to expand and elevate within the premium automotive sector, the brand today outlined its strategy to upgrade its U.S. dealer network. Speaking at both the Washington, D.C. Auto Show today, and this weekend's annual National Auto Dealers Association convention in San Francisco, Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen will outline how the brand will target enhancements in the customer experience.

2014 Cadillac CTS configurator open for business

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Cadillac has just set the new configurator for the redesigned, 2014 CTS live. While we've already tested out the new CTS, this is our first chance to play with all the interior and exterior color options and to get a fair idea of the price. The new CTS covers a broad swath from the $46,025 base model, with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, to the $59,995 VSport, complete with its brawny, 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
It doesn't take much to send the CTS's price up from there, though. Opt for the VSport Premium trim, and the price immediately jumps $10,000. Opting for one of the premium paint colors is all that's needed to nudge the CTS past $70,000. For reference, a 556-horsepower CTS-V (previous-generation, naturally) starts at $64,515.

Cadillac Escalade gets $10,000 discount to ward off Navigator

Mon, Apr 16 2018

Cadillac is once again defending its full-size luxury Escalade SUV from assault by the hot-selling Lincoln Navigator, offering $10,000 discounts to some current customers to keep them from switching brands. The discount, reported by Bloomberg, applies to lessees of 2016 model-year Escalades, with a $7,500 discount offered to owners, through May 31. It's at least the second time GM has resorted to incentives to keep customers in its cash-cow luxury SUV since Ford launched the all-new 2018 Navigator late last year. In November, Cadillac offered a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Escalade to any buyer who traded in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model. Analysts have estimated that the Escalade produces nearly $1 billion in yearly profit for GM. Escalade sales were up 14 percent in March and 8 percent during the first quarter, with retail sales up by double-digit percentages in both periods, higher transaction prices and market share expected to climb by 2 percent year-to-date, according to GM. That's impressive for a vehicle that has received only minor updates since the current generation went on sale for 2015. While it still trails the Escalade in sales, the Navigator has been riding a 63 percent increase in deliveries this year, with new models lasting on dealer lots an average of only 10 days and average prices ballooning to $82,500, according to Bloomberg. Ford earlier this year announced it was pouring $25 million into its Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville to boost production of the Navigator and Ford Expedition. You can read Autoblog's side-by-side comparison of the 2018 Escalade and Navigator with competitors including the Lexus LX 570 and Infiniti QX80.
