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 can't keep up with Escalade demand, can't move its sedans
Wed, Feb 11 2015No matter how much Cadillac revitalizes its lineup and its image, it seems that all consumers want is the Escalade. In fact, Automotive News reports that General Motors can't keep up with demand for the fullsize luxury SUV, despite sticker prices that start at over $70,000 and approach six figures at the top end of the spectrum. Contrast that with sedans like the ATS and CTS, which are far cheaper but which Cadillac hasn't been able to move fast enough to keep up with production, prompting both the manufacturer and dealers to offer substantial incentives to keep them from piling up. Cadillac had been resisting a price cut of the ATS or CTS, lest it hurt resale values – itself a factor that could explain consumers' reluctance to buy them in the first place – but been offering subsidized leases, discounted financing, rebates and cheaper options. Combined with incentives from individual dealers, according to AN, buyers can be looking at five-figure discounts on buying a new Cadillac sedan. And now, finally, it seems the CTS will indeed get a little bit off its bottom line. Yet GM has been producing the ATS and CTS at rates that their sales can't keep up with. The automaker was forced to idle the plant in Lansing, MI, where it assembles the ATS and CTS for six weeks starting this past December. And since it reopened late in January, it's been reduced to a single shift as dealers try to move the metal they've already got. Meanwhile the plant in Arlington, TX, that produces the Escalade and its Chevy and GMC siblings has been running on overtime, with three shifts throughout the week and even into the weekend to keep up with demand. Profitable as it's been for Cadillac and GM, though, the Escalade does not represent the future of where it wants to take the brand - separating the Escalade as almost a brand unto itself that's been left out of the company's new naming scheme. If only it could make its sedans as successful as its fullsize SUVs, it'll be all set.
Cadillac CTS wins 2014 Motor Trend Car of the Year [w/video]
Thu, 07 Nov 2013For the second time, the Cadillac CTS has been named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. After winning the COTY crown for 2008, the new-for-2014 CTS outdid the other two finalists for Car of the Year honors, the Mazda3 and its corporate cousin, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
What's notable about the Caddy's victory, though, is how it simply brushed off its competition. Both the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series failed to make the finalist's bracket, leaving the CTS to claim victory. "It had to beat [Mercedes and BMW] on style, on performance, on comfort, and on quality. It has," Motor Trend said in its COTY recap for the CTS.
The team at Motor Trend praised the CTS chassis, calling it "fantastic," and citing weight advantage the Caddy has over the competition. There was also praise heaped on the car's engines, with the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder getting nods of approval from the MT team. The team also raved about the VSport model and its twin-turbocharged V6, magnetic shocks and other performance accoutrements.
GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue
Sun, Jan 4 2015General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.
