I'm leaning toward the Escalade. I'm just hesitant because prices should drop significantly following the new model release and the fact it'll be a new year in little over a month. How much they'll drop? Who knows - will the vette drop also? probably, so it might just be a wash when it comes down to it.

I brought my denali used about 17 months ago and it's kbb value has held up surprisingly.

There will still be a big demand for the older body style even when the new ones come out. Most people won't fork out big bucks until the second year of production. By time it's 2-3 years in the price will be significantly dropped. Try to get the best price on it with that angle with the dealer. The new vette is already out there so prices are bound to do the same.

Honesty you won't be disappointed with either vehicle, and you can go nuts and never buy anything trying to predict depreciation trends.

Drive both trucks, see which one moves you the most, and get the best deal possible on the one you want.

The only significant difference tween the two is that the Hoe is new, so you know its history from the start and aren't inheriting anyone else's problems. But with enough due diligence on your part and a strong Cadillac warranty the risk of used should be mitigated to a great degree.

Choose with your heart brain and winkle brain, negotiate with your head brain.
