Vehicle is in  very good condition overall, and this Escalade sold for over $70,000 originally.  Please see below:

Mechanically this vehicle runs and drives beautifully with a ride that you would expect from a Cadillac.  Car starts well and  drives and shifts smoothly.  Vehicle has lots of power and excellent acceleration.  There are no known issues with motor or trans at all.  Vehicle has been maintained with regular oil changes and serviced as needed.  It will also come with a fresh oil change before purchase.  Start the car with the key or use the Remote Car Starter which allows you to warm up the car in the winter and cool it in the summer.  I just replaced the remotes so it will come with brand new Car Starter/Keyless Entry remotes.

The exterior of this car shines like new with chrome accents.  Paint is in excellent condition with only minor door dings and rock chips as you would expect.  The rear bumper has a very minor flaw in it, but it is hardly noticeable.  I have included a picture so that you can see this area clearly.  Windows are tinted for privacy which also makes the vehicle look very ritzy.  Front windshield has two  minor chips from rocks, but these have been there for a year and have not spread.  Power sunroof functions well.  Side running boards make entering/exiting the vehicle easy, and they add a nice chrome look to the car.  Mirrors function properly and none are damaged.

Interior is loaded with beautiful beige leather interior.  Seats also have Cadillac logo on headrests, and floors are protected by custom Cadillac floormats with matching Cadillac Logo.  Seats have no rips or tears, but some of the leather is showing signs of wear particularly on seat bottoms.  Please see pictures.  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.   DVD system works perfectly as do both screens.  Radio and navigation appear to be functioning as they should.  Car has two toned dash and beautiful woodgrain accents. 

Vehicle comes with 20" tires and premium chrome wheels. Tire tread is shown in pictures.  Vehicle comes with Tire Pressure Monitoring System. There is one tire that is reading "0" and the tire pressure monitor light comes on when you start the car. I suspect that the sensor on that tire has probably gone bad.  This was not a feature that I really used so I didn't replaced it, but if you want it looks like a new sensor sells for about $35-40 on Ebay.   This vehicle comes with a full sized spare. 

The only other issue that I know of is that the speedometer and the lights below it have  been working intermittently.  I have been told that this is likely due to a speedometer clock motor which can be rebuilt through a service on Ebay for less than $75.  As mentioned this is working intermittently so when you see/drive the vehicle it may work fine.  This does not affect the odometer's function so the mileage on the vehicle is true and accurate.   This vehicle is still being driven occasionally (ex. to get the oil changed, etc.) so the mileage may be slightly different at the end of the auction.  Vehicle is also for sale locally. 

Car has current Virginia Safety inspection and comes with a clear title.  You are welcome to see and drive the vehicle prior to bidding or you may have a mechanic inspect the car on your behalf.  I will be happy to ship this vehicle, but you are responsible for all shipping costs and liabilities associated with doing so.

This is a NO RESERVE auction!

General Motors Recall List

Wed, Oct 22 2014

It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.

Everything new at the 2019 New York International Auto Show

Wed, Apr 24 2019

Transcript: Welcome to the 2019 New York Auto Show. It's the last auto show, and so far it's my favorite of the year. We have a new buggy, compact pickup and trail ready SUV from Volkswagen. Ford brought the new Escape and a new Mustang performance variant, and we have a brand new Toyota Highlander and Subaru Outback. Let's go take a look around. We're here at the New York Auto Show with the Subaru stand. Normally the Subaru stand is just some white carpet and some show lighting. This year it's like we're in a national park. It's ... Frankly, I'm from Oregon. You're from Colorado. Yeah. It's making us feel at home. And in that way what better place and what better people to introduce this Subaru Outback which is pretty much the official car of Colorado and Oregon. Yeah. You actually have to buy a Subaru before they let you move to Colorado. Now instead of climbing up there and taking a look because we've been told we can't do that we're gonna go over there and check out another one. So the exterior, not that different. No. Looks exactly like an Outback. There's actually oddly a little more black plastic trim on the outside. A little too much for me. Right. It's interesting because it kind of slowly went away from that from the beginning because in the beginning the black plastic trim kind of made it an Outback, and now they're kind of bringing it back. I guess they needed to make it more macho. Right. Right. Now we're inside. Inside it looks pretty different. Swank. It's kind of swank for an Outback which has been pretty plain. Now this is the newly available vertically gigantic touch screen here. 11.6 inches. That is massive. This is how big it is when it's turned on ... just for the viewers. Now this is the onyx trim. So with that you get the black mirrors, the black wheels. This upholstery is special to the onyx, so it's gray and black and you also have this green stitching. Yeah, I like this accent stitching. It's kind of neat. Oh there's also a little tray there. Well this is a deep bin here. You can probably fit a phone. There we go. Almost. Yeah there are two USB ports. There's an additional two in the backseat. So this thing here you pop in the cup holder and it gives you a little more space or less space. These are really big, so if you have one of those Nalgene bottles I'm guessing it's going to fit in there. One of my complaints about my Subaru that I own now which is a naturally aspirated Crosstrek is that up in the mountains. It's slow?

GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories

Sat, Feb 29 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:
