Unless the offer blows your socks off....don't sell, especially to get back into an '04 or '05. What's the point since it's the same body style and you already have yours modded the way you want it?
If he does 10-12 i will seriously consider it. Anything less and I won't.

Yeah, if you sold yours for 10k you could more than likely score an 04/05 in decent shape.
Yeah you could sell and get a newer one for the same price. But it's basically the same thing although the interior is a bit upgraded. And I personally like the interior of the 2003+ models a bit more but that's just my personal preference. But then you would have to redo the mods to make it the same. So unless he's gonna offer you a ridiculous amount of money i say keep it! Lol.

Hmm, so from the mods you listed it's pretty much an 03+... From my limited knowledge I thought 03+ got HID's, could get 22's as an option. The wrap stuff could be done easily enough on a new one along with the lowering.... But I guess now that I know what you have done, I don't see any benefit to getting a newer vehicle since yours basically gets all the same features.

I say keep it.

@alaska_guy , the 2002 interior is different than your 2004. 20 inch rims were offered on some of the escalades 2003+ but not 22s. Although if he were to get a 2003+, hed get the adjustable mirrors tied into memory as well as turn signals in mirror lol. And a double fun stereo which is a lot easier to mod and do a custom stereo over the 02 size stereo.

Good to know. Yeah, I do like the built in turn signals in the mirrors and the memory stuff. My wife isn't big into stereo stuff, but those two differences would be worth stepping up to an 03+ if I was buying new. If I already modified one I don't know how important the mirrors and memory stuff would be. Really depends how often you switch drivers.

I appreciate all of the input. I think the more i see what u guys say and the many compliments. Im gonna hold firm at 12k. If he coughs that much up...

Ill get a newer one but same body style and do it almost identical, although I may do air bags all the way around on the new one. For adjustable in the weeds...

@popo8 , do your side view mirror have the curb view function? That function is gold for me with my xl. I love it. @alaska_guy , no one else drives my,car but my mirrors get moved around a lot when I wash it and clean the glass even though I try not to pich on them too hard. So it since to be able to just hit my memory switch after im finished and have it go back to where I like it. Lol. It's the little things like those that really sold me on the 2003+ model over the 2002 escalade I looked at before I bought mine. But either way I'd still tell him to keep his. Lol.
