2005 Cadillac Escalade Esv Platinum Cheap $2,300 Under Blue Book Value! on 2040-cars

US $11,975.00

Scottsdale, Arizona, United States

This Escalade sold for over $70,000 originally.
With the Platinum package, it comes with:

1) 20" stock chrome wheels
2) Black onyx dashboard
3) Moonroof
4) Running boards
5) Navigation
6) Heated and cooled front seats and heated and cooled 2nd row captains chairs
7) Heated and cooled cupholders
8) 2 tv screens with dvd players

KBB private party value is $14,300.  Selling for a cheap price to avoid having to trade it into the dealer to get really ripped off by them.  This is a no brainer price.  All other Platinum Escalades with this body style and similar mileage on CL or on here are listed for $14-18k+.  Plus they are rare and hard to find. Only reason I am selling is because I bought a new vehicle and I don't need 3 vehicles.

It's an ESV and a Platinum edition. You can't buy a better more expensive Cadillac for 2005. Rare. The silver paint is premium original Cadillac paint and is not faded in any way and looks amazing. 6.0L V8. 345hp and 380 ft-lb of torque. All wheel drive. Runs, drives, idles, shifts and stops like it should.  AC works and blows cold.  Rear AC is especially cold.  No leaks that I know of.  No accidents ever. The body and original paint are very clean and nice. It's been a very reliable and fun vehicle for me. I enjoy it.

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. Car has two toned dash and beautiful woodgrain accents.

A very minor issue that I'm having is that the "service tire monitor" message comes up. I took it to the dealer and paid $300+ for them to replace 2 of the tire pressure sensors and that message is still coming on occasionally. I found a Tire pressure monitor sensor learn procedure in the owners manual. If/when I get ambitious, I will try doing that to get that annoying message to finally clear.

2014 Cadillac CTS

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Fixated By Europeans, GM Ensures The Third Time Is A Charm
Few things are better for consumers than competition raising the bar. And no campaign seems fiercer than the one currently underway in the midsize sport-sedan segment now that Cadillac has introduced its all-new 2014 CTS to go head-to-head against the benchmark Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
While the CTS has been on the market for slightly more than a decade, up until this third-generation, Cadillac hasn't truly had the proper high-performance rear-wheel-drive architecture to build a genuine world-class fighter, both inside and out. And now that the American automaker has successfully mirrored Audi, BMW and Mercedes in overall vehicle size, engine output and cabin appointments, the first shots have been fired.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe prepares to fight BMW 4 Series

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Cadillac introduced its new ATS Coupe at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, bringing customers an alternative to the growing range of sport luxury coupes typified by the BMW 4 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe.
The ATS Coupe, as a slightly more premium offering, ditches the wheezy 2.5-liter engine found in the basic ATS Sedan, but retains the four-door's 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and 3.6-liter V6. That four-pot turbo benefits from a fettling that has increased torque from 260 pound-feet to 295, although its peak is only available from 3,000 rpm to 4,600 rpm, unlike in the sedan, where peak twist arrives at just 1,700 rpm and sticks around until 5,500 rpm.
Power can be channeled to either the rear or all four wheels by the owner's choice of a Tremec six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. According to Cadillac, the new Coupe can get to 60 in 5.6 seconds when fitted with the 2.0-liter turbo.
