Hey all! I see that it's been a while since anyone posted so hopefully someone is around lol. I'm looking at trading my 99 burb with 184 k for an 06 escalade with the awd and 174k. It seems to be in pretty good shape but due to bad credit(don't judge but not putting all my chips on the bowl)I'm buying it from a bad credit dealership. It's the best of all the vehicles I looked at today.
They are giving me a pretty good trade value for my burb so I'm strongly thinking about it. Is there anything specific to the 06 escalade that I should look for? When I drove it tonight the air ride seemed to function correctly, all the interior functions seemed to work correctly i.e. Heated seats and power functions of the seats, stereo sunroof rear wiper etc. not much wear on the seats but you can tell a family had it cause it's still dirty(worst detail job for a lot vehicle I've ever seen) they are asking 13500 but they said they will Lower the price. All the belts look good and there were no signs of leaks or an accident on the frame or underneath. Also no weird smells. Only thing we noticed was a shimmy in the front along with some noise either from the diff or wheel bearing and it doesn't have the nav disk.
I'm wanting to down size from my full size burb but still need to be able to tow,have room for 6-7 people. Plus it's a Cadillac and it's not rusted to crap lol. I feel having a vehicle with a full power train warranty is better than trying to do repairs to my burb. I have to pay someone to do the work because I'm not able to do much more than the required work like oil changes my self. Anyone think this is a good deal or should I keep my burb and just do the work. Burb needs the spider injection upgrade, tune up, new cats, need to figure out the random vibration in the front end and some small leaks at the t case and cooler lines. Already did Intake gaskets and trans service shocks fuel filter front shocks. Tires etc when I bought it.
