Anyone have recent Escalade ESV Production #'s, 2010 Speculation?

[Kickboxer]

I'm in the market for a new ESV but with the 2010's hopefully right around the corner I hope to see big discounts coming on the 09's. My dealer says don't hope for much as they stopped producing them for a while which is drying up inventory and he even said he doesn't expect 2010's to come out until Dec because of the economic climate.

Anyone have any links to monthly production #'s or 2010 launch info? What do you guys think?

I told my dealership to order me a 10' when they are available, they are saying Nov or Dec

'09 leftovers? Try '08s. And in my case, an '07 never previously titled that I bought back in April. I should have been wearing a ski mask and toting a pistol for what I paid. It had sat on the lot for almost 800 days! (Probably because it had fixed running boards, 18s, and an aftermarket navi head unit instead of a factory one) Don't buy that the inventory is drying up either, PLENTY of leftovers out there, just the older the model year the fewer there's going to be and the harder they'll be to find, but they'll sure be worth it...

They made 26219 07's, 15922 08's

Here is some news about the only plant making the Escalade, the Arlington plant being shut down for 10 weeks this year:

You will not see the amount of leftovers in 09' like 08', there were so many 08' sitting that many learned their lesson, and many dealerships closed too

I agree -- when my mom picked up her loaded Quicksilver '08 Escalade in late May for at 48k I told her that wouldn't ever happen again.. Then I stumbled across the '08 white EXT that was in NC and did the same thing again.. We saved 40k MSRP between them both..
