The Escalade has led the way in the reemergence of Cadillac as a worldclass luxury brand. Its sharp, chiseled styling makes a strong statement and the bold looks are backed by lots of power and GM's latest technology. The Escalade nameplate includes three dramatically different though distinctly similar models: The standard Escalade is a fullsize SUV, the same size as the Tahoe. The Escalade ESV is a Suburbansized model. The Escalade EXT is Cadillac's interpretation of the Avalanche, a brilliantly executed sportutility truck that can quickly be converted from pickup truck to luxury SUV through the use of GM's innovative midgate. All three feature a highperformance 6.0liter V8 and allwheel drive. Built on GM's excellent fullsize truck platform, the Escalade, ESV, and EXT are fine trucks and make excellent tow vehicles. On the road they are smooth and stable, a bit softer in ride than a Tahoe or Suburban. They are luxuriously appointed, providing comfortable accommodations while offering the capabilities of fullsize truck. The Escalade was introduced as an allnew model for 2002. The EXT joined the line, followed by the ESV. They share interiors, refreshed for the 2003 model year. More features have been added for 2004 including a new tire pressure monitoring system.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2004 Cadillac Escalade, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2004 Cadillac Escalade for less money than when it was new. If the 2004 Cadillac Escalade was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2004 Cadillac Escalade is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2004 Cadillac Escalade will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2004 Cadillac Escalade is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
