Thinking just maybe trading in Esky and.....

[Jagsta]

Your Esky is one of the nicest i've seen - I'd keep it! I love the SRT's, just sold my BMW X5 and honestly decided if I want performance then just need to get a sports car for a weekend driver. Much nicer cruising in a big comfy SUV, don't need to outrun anyone lol.

Your ride is so freaking clean. You can definitely speed that pig up some. Just gotta give up the 26's. I really don't think there is a comparison to what your going to get out there. Might just be time to build your own project.

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

Yeah I know. Still not sure what I want to do. I still might Supercharge it or give it another year and wait for the 14's SRT's to go down in price.

That's a tough decision. Someone recently stole the 22s on my Denali and it caused me to want to get rid of my truck as well, so I don't blame you. The SRT is an amazing beast of a truck. I say follow your heart.

Where in MD are you?

I would only trade for a 2014+.

The WK1 style isn't nearly as refined and you will miss the features of the esky. The 2015's now have a laguna red interior option which looks amazing.

The 2012's & 2013's are a little cheaper now 50k+, but they don't have the new features the 2014+ come with.

Just pick up a 2014 GC Limited....wish I could get the SRT but its just too much and not practical for my commute. Anyways I do not regret my decision.

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

Yeah my Mom just got a 14 Overland and bro has a 13 Altitude. When I am at work just browsing the web I want a 14 SRT but then when I go out to my car and see it I want to keep it. I just can't make up my mind.

I went from an 07 srt8 to my 10 Denali because i needed more space. The srt8 was a beast and complete head turner and conversation starter more than any other vehicle I ever owned. It definitely was not as comfortable as my Denali but once you punched the gas the thrill overtook any thoughts of comfort.

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

yeah space is what I am not sure about yet either since we do travel a lot. But that would just mean getting a roof top carrier.

This is a no-brainer, KEEP the Esky, its paid for. You can't let the fact that it got keyed make you want to sell it. Most keying is done by someone you know, and not just a random act.
Why not go out and buy yourself a late model Camaro/Challenger/Suckstang, and have your sports car to drive around in.

 

[fiatdale]

Slap a blower on it. Then you'll definitely want to keep it.

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

My orgianl plan is to keep and get a CTS-V. But I know just don't know what I want and prob wont be done anyway for another year. I think it is just to the point that not much more I want to do the Escalade and looking to get something to play with. Just me talking out my ass. My thought instead of getting another car was to get best of both worlds.

 

[CrashTestDummy]

CTSV-wagon!!

But as others have said, get past the 'violated' feeling, and enjoy your Esky. A supercharger will help the performance, and make the truck fun to drive.

We were at an autocross last weekend. The site is the parking lot of a local drag strip. They had rented the drag strip out to another group, so they were making passes while we were running. I saw this big black thing go by and it tripped the lights at 9.70 at like 143 MPH. I thought it was a CTS-V wagon, but as it came down the return road, I could see the grill..... it was a black Jeep SRT.

Can't tell you what to do, but there's a LOT to be said about already having a nice ride and NOT having a payment.

Wait, you want to trade your NNBS Escalade (which are practically on every corner), because it was keyed, for the latest body style SRT Jeep? That's like jumping out of the skillet into a lava pit lol. My coworker has a 14 SRT Jeep and to say it's a head turner is an understatement, that thing is sex on wheels. He can't go to the gas station without someone complimenting it. Anyway, I vote keep your Escalade, it's nice plus it's paid off.
