View Full Version : Selling My Escalade Question... ALLeyez187onME 04-06-06, 02:27 PM Im currently selling my escalade for 45k OBO, heres the link on autotrader.
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=199674134&dealer_id=57703342&car_year=2002&model=ESCALA&bkms=1144347363574&lang=en&isp=y&start_year=2002&certified=&search_type=used&distance=10&make=CAD&min_price=&address=91789&advanced=&end_year=2002&max_price=&cardist=0
But i was wondering, Since its an 02, and does have 67k miles on it, is that a good price? Take a look at what it has, its fully custom. If you think thats a good price or if you think i should raise or lower it please let me know. I'm trying to get myself an 06 clk500, which run around 60-65k, so hopefully i can get 45k-50k out of this truck to be able to afford one. Thanks for the help ahead of time. brett79 04-06-06, 02:48 PM Very very nice, but you may want to part it out. It's very hard to sell for that much. Just my 2 cents. ALLeyez187onME 04-06-06, 02:57 PM what do you mean? like sell my parts and then sell my car close to stock? Falkolade 04-06-06, 03:25 PM price seems a little high... you have to remember that you never get out of a vehicle what you put into it... I would think 35-37... and you would have to wait to find someone that wants a tricked out lade... nice ride though! good luck! jrs05caddyext 04-06-06, 03:49 PM VERY VERY nice.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: I agree. Parting it out is the best way to do it. Most people who can afford an Escalade are more 'older' people. Rarely that kids get them these days.
So for example, if an older person who can afford it wants to buy an Escalade, most likely, they want one that is stock or looks close to stock. Not all stereo system, etc etc.
Your truck looks good though. I love the interior. BUT, if there is a kid out there who CAN afford one, they you have a chance of selling it to a kid. See what i'm trying to say here??
So most people do sell their aftermarket parts seperately and put the truck close to stock to sell.
BUt its entirely up to you on that one. My last truck was an Expedition, with a tv, dvd player, two 12 JL Audios, amps, etc etc. Well, I had it on the autotrader for almost a year. I had a lot of older people come look at it, but then said that they need the space in the back, etc etc, so they didnt buy it , due to the subs and amps etc was in the back.
Anyways, i'll shut up now. Good luck with your decision. :thumbsup: Synergetic 04-06-06, 04:29 PM No... noo....
I would sell this thing for like $65,000-$75,000 EASY!
Man, I know you're into showing cars so YOU know any true car enthusiast knows what this is worth, and what is put into it. By selling it for this price, you're only helping the value of our Escalades go down.
AND don't part it out. By the time you sell your stuff, you have probably made $5,000. And then your trying to sell an Escalade with close to 70k miles on it for more than $30,000. You will be making less in the long run, and will have spent a lot of work removing all the custom work.
This is funny, this is exactly what i'm doing to my Escalade RIGHT NOW, with the suede and Louis seude. Thats too bad, its in the shop now. Its funny too, because i've been thinking about picking up a CLK500 as well, they're F**king sickkkk!! brett79 04-06-06, 04:30 PM what do you mean? like sell my parts and then sell my car close to stock?
Yep, thats what I mean. You are better off selling all or your sound equipment to someone who is interested in that stuff, the wheels to someone else...and so on. brett79 04-06-06, 04:32 PM No... noo....

Too bad it rarely works like that. Your best bet would be maybe to list this in like the Dupont Registry. I know its in the autotrader, but have you tried posting it on craigslist??? Its free. Synergetic 04-06-06, 04:44 PM I assume you also want to see it go to a good home... you know? Be smart and be patient, more people than you think are always on the hunt for vehicles like this. Theres a big time drug dealer who offer $70,000 for my Escalade, but had one request - to paint it all black first. Your Escalade is clean as f**k!! Don't think you won't sell it. madeinalaska 04-06-06, 04:56 PM you have to remember that you never get out of a vehicle what you put into it...
I agree completely. Thats the only problem with doing THOUSANDS of dollars worth of modifications to a car. You have to be ready to take a hit when it comes time to sell it. Either that or find the right market for it. Enter it in some car shows and offer it to people who seem serious about buying it.
And you live in CA? Shit...throw up a custom for sale decal on it and try to stay in the ridiculously rich neighborhoods.
A guy I work with just picked up a DUB Edition FULLY tricked out 2002 from one of the basketball players on the Sonics at the cadillac dealership for 25 grand because the guy was buying an '07.
Doesnt have the LV Seats, though. That's pretty sweet. I'd be too afraid to wear my shoes in that thing. I'd have slippers that I wore and put my shoes in the back or something.
Oh wait..no room in the back. Nevermind.:)
Or find that drug dealer synergetic was talking about and slang it to him. Synergetic 04-06-06, 05:00 PM Or find that drug dealer synergetic was talking about and slang it to him.
I can talk to him. Thats an idea. madeinalaska 04-06-06, 05:05 PM I can talk to him. Thats an idea.
I mean, shit...You guys aren't too far apart, location wise.
This is also coming from someone who doesnt think the drive from Seattle to Portland is that far.
But, I mean...If I was a drug dealer..and looking for a tricked out all black Escalade...this is pretty much what I would have in mind. To the T. I'm feelin that interior. How much does somethin like that run? I would sell it with everything on it. Parting out will make your ride a 30K vehicle and parting out will only get you a bunch of lowballers. And it's a biatch to uninstall everything. Find somebody who wants to floss immediately! TheCaddyKidd 04-06-06, 05:19 PM you should lower the price to like 99 cents on ebay.. watch and see how many watchers you get on that truck.. of course throw a reserve on it or have a friend ready to bid it up for you.. iv noticed alot that when you start someting ridiculously low you get alot more people interested.. you should lower the price to like 99 cents on ebay.. watch and see how many watchers you get on that truck.. of course throw a reserve on it or have a friend ready to bid it up for you.. iv noticed alot that when you start someting ridiculously low you get alot more people interested..
haha. yeah. put it on ebay for like .99 cents. Then put the shipping fees at $44,999. :histeric: :thumbsup: jrs05caddyext 04-06-06, 05:34 PM lol:bouncy: I mod everything I own, and rule of thumb you car/truck is worth a few grand more than a stock truck, you always want to start the pricing high, I know I do, but you usually lose the mod value, sell off what you can to offset the difference. Falkolade 04-06-06, 07:14 PM the hardest part is finding a buyer that wants a truck that way... b/c everyone has their own "dream" lade... if you hold out i am sure you can get someone to come into your price range... If u decide to part it out I would be interested in somee of those goodies.. especially the wheels!! ALLeyez187onME 04-06-06, 10:04 PM yea im not 100% sure on what i want to do yet, i just wish it was easier for me to sell this thing, cuz i really want an 06 benz. Parting it out just seems like a lot more work, and quite honestly i'd rather sell it to some rich guy who likes it or something haha. who knows what will happen:-/ this isnt the first time i've tried to sell it, but now i have more upgrades so who knows if thats better or worse... jrs05caddyext 04-07-06, 09:47 AM Didnt you guys have an Excursion on bags??? ALLeyez187onME 04-07-06, 04:06 PM yea we still have it, sitting in my garage right now....(garage queen) yea we still have it, sitting in my garage right now....(garage queen)

The first pic is at the 2006 DUB show in LA, and we took best of show at this won and ended up taking home 3100 dollars that night.http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/Alleyez69onME/109_0912.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/Alleyez69onME/107_0793.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/Alleyez69onME/108_0843.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/Alleyez69onME/107_0743.jpg Uria702 04-07-06, 10:53 PM 02 will go for much less than 30k, 02 volkswagens only retain 50% of their value, u want a 02 gm vehicle to retain more than 50%, i doubt it, but good luck man. jrs05caddyext 04-08-06, 01:07 AM ((((show Truck)))) Synergetic 04-08-06, 03:56 AM 02 will go for much less than 30k, 02 volkswagens only retain 50% of their value, u want a 02 gm vehicle to retain more than 50%, i doubt it, but good luck man.
lol...
This 02 will hold much more value than the 2007 design will. Too many specific reasons why too. And far much more than a 2002 Volkswagen. ALLeyez187onME 04-10-06, 02:14 AM yea, well so far i've had a few people send me emails asking me questions, so im sure theres people interested. in all honesty, i think 45k is a pretty decent price for my truck, with all the things that are in it, its really a truck u can never get bored in. but i dunno, since i've yet to encounter really serious buyers, i think its just hard to find people who actually want a fixed up lade now a days. rawdog805 04-10-06, 07:23 AM yea, well so far i've had a few people send me emails asking me questions, so im sure theres people interested. in all honesty, i think 45k is a pretty decent price for my truck, with all the things that are in it, its really a truck u can never get bored in. but i dunno, since i've yet to encounter really serious buyers, i think its just hard to find people who actually want a fixed up lade now a days.
Dont you have a Gibson Dual Exhaust on your truck?? If you decide to part out, I would like to have first dibs on that... Blacklac02 04-10-06, 12:37 PM Alleyez187onME,
Do you have any other pics of your Dash Setup on the Escalade? I like the location of your aftermarket unit. What did you put in place of the stock unit? Beautiful interior,
I would sell it for 60k atleast, theres always a someone at there who will buy it jrs05caddyext 04-10-06, 03:18 PM Your might want to give this a try
