Hey my friend is trying to get an Escalade of his own. He has been looking everywhere to try and get one for around $20,000. He found a white 99 with 46k miles in that range. He also saw a 2002 for 29,000. Can someone give me exactly what he is getting for $20,000.
I feel like people want more money than the car is actually worth on ebay. My friend has looked on ebay, but he wants to know what an escalade is worth for 20 grand.
rawdog-You got a great deal! Have you had any issues with it? I keep a very close eye on the market and if your freind wants a low mileage 00' (like certified used) 20K seems to be what they are going for. I agree that they are holding there value much better than the Chevy's or anything else, which is OK with me! The 02's are even better! a low mileage cream puff example is worth 30K(retail) making anyone who bought one in 01' ,on a 48 month note, has one of the first good investement Cadillac's in 20 years. Now- on the flip side- wholesale-cars(they may be high mileage, have a dirty carfax, or a forced sale) can be had for much less. The earlier post about someone trading in an 02' and only getting 20K is an example of how dealerships make money. i bet they make 8K on the flip and then some on the car he bought. I have found getting the cash for the car first from the lender and searching for a distressed seller makes for the best deal. I hope i don't offend anybody this time!
I have access to a '99 Denali with 84k miles for around $12.5-$12.9k (if a Denali will do). It's a rebuilt total - should be complete (being painted right now) within a couple of weeks. It's black with a tan interior. It's in nice shape, nothing wrong with it (anymore). It was a RH front hit. Put a new frame under it and obviously replaced the body parts.
I had arranged to buy that truck before I picked up my Caddy. The $12.5K was more than I had wanted to spend so I let it go (the Caddy cost me $5k less).
