Purchased an 02 Escalade locally that I’m going to use so I can get some work done on my dirtymax. My son Jack gets his license next year and this will be his first whip.
I started out looking for a Yukon or Tahoe but everything I looked at was garbage. High mileage, beat to death or needed a lot of work. Then I searched for another Denali like I had but couldn’t find anything local. That’s when I came across this 02 escalade base AWD with the 6.0. Had some new front end parts, newer tires, tune up and coolant flush.
A few issues it had were the front passenger window didn’t work. Guy said it was slow for a while but then just stopped altogether. In gear at idle the engine wanted to die. Guy said he wasn’t sure what that was about. Thought maybe he had a vacuum leak or something but I knew what it was but didn’t say anything. The left front tire has a small leak and needs to be filled every couple days. The ac didn’t work and guy said he never used it anyway. The center console lid had a broken release lever so it wouldn’t stay closed.
He was asking $5000 and I threw out an offer of $3800. He said no way he can go that low but said he would work with me. He threw out 46 as his number so I threw $4300 in hundred dollar bills out on the hood and he took it.
