    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    Alright everyone, I test drove that 2012 ESV Platinum. That thing drives like a dream. I've never driven anything so big, powerful, yet refined. The truck was surprisingly solid for a vehicle with 73k miles. The powertrain was smooth, responded to feathering, stabbing, and regular driving with...

    Dual battery install in Escalade?

    As you know, I'm about to purchase my first NNBS Escalade. I need dual batteries installed. There is a massive thread over at the Cadillac forums, but with no definitive guide for a complete n00b on how to install it. I checked with my local most trusted mechanic, and they said they've never...

    Looking at 2009 Denali

    My current car is a 2013 Impala LTZ. It has the exact same tan interior as you would find the Yukon Denalis. From experience: it is much more difficult to keep it cleaner. Although ebony/black will show specks of dust, they WON'T show everything else so easily, which is grime and deep dirt...

    Looking at 2009 Denali

    I personally do not like tan, but in my case one of the 2 vehicles I am after has a tan interior. With these trucks, beggars can't be choosers.

    These high prices are seriously a curse for living in the DC metro area. :-(

    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    @Fosscore That was a really awesome response. Almost exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks so much again. To get down to it, I've actually narrowed down to 3 vehicles. I will be checking them out over this weekend. 2 Caddys and 1 Yukon XL Denali. The question for me is a tradeoff: Do I...

    Looking at 2009 Denali

    $25k is still mighty fine for a truck with that mileage. I wish I could find something like that over here (DC metro area). Absolutely impossible.

    Looking at 2009 Denali

    I don't know, maybe it's just me because of my locality, but $25k for that Denali XL? I'd buy it YESTERDAY where I live. How much are you aiming for again? $21k?

    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    The initial Escalade ESV I posted the Carfax about is out of the question. I went today to have a look at it, and as soon as they fired it up, I could hear a distinct engine knock. No go. I looked at two other vehicles they had: another Escalade ESV, and a Yukon Denali XL. Both were 2014, and...

    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    Here's a 2011 Escalade ESV I found for $34k. It has 42,226 miles. Best mileage for the best price I've been able to find. Carfax history seems to show that it's been well maintained, although it does show 2 previous owners...

    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    All solid advice. I'm finding that the closer you get to a major city, the prices on these trucks come out to be very similar to mine: average of $4k higher than outside of metro areas. Another question that I had was being that these are generally solid trucks, would it be prudent to skip...

    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    I finally got the dealership to send me the Carfax for the Escalade ESV. I don't know; it looks like maybe it was a dealer vehicle? Thoughts?

    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    Ok, so I've decided to narrow down to only either a Yukon XL or an Escalade ESV, as they are plenty big. First up is a 2012 Yukon Denali XL. They want $36K for it, and it has 77,121 miles...

    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    Roger that; I checked that thread out this morning and it had a wealth of info. I guess my major issue is that I'm in the DC Metro area, where buying any kind of vehicle commands a ridiculous premium. Dealers know this and get away with murder, practically. I checked the KBB value of those and...

    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    Ok, so here's what I found last night. 2010 Escalade Mileage: 127,474 Price: $25K 2010 Escalade ESV Mileage: 82,685 Price: $31K Are these reasonable for such vehicles with high mileage?

    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    Thanks so much for the response. I've actually been lurking for quite a while now, so I've pretty much scoured the threads for all info, including that one. It's just that it's very difficult in my area for me to find something good, so perhaps I just need to lower my standards a bit?

    Help needed: want to buy a Denali

    Hey people! I'm in the market for a Yukon Denali. I'll buy immediately if I find a good deal. I'm having major problems finding one that doesn't have an issue or ones that are not rentals. I have the following questions. 1. Should I get Certified Pre Owned, or just used? CPO of course makes the...
