30k for 2016 Escalade at end of 2020. Is this possible?

Hello Fellow TYFs!

Haven't posted for a while but I'm always reading these awesome threads. I've been saving like a mad man for the past year. Was wondering if you experts can shed some light on the possibility of my aspirations. The title pretty much says it all. I'm planning on putting down no less than 7k and would rather keep my Altima which will be paid off by then (vs trade in)
Is this realistic price? Or am I just smoking Indian hemp?
Thoughts?

You might be able to get there - especially since the new body style will be out. The price for a used vehicle will be fluid and will depend upon the model/version, condition, location, mileage, options, vehicle history report, etc. and whether you are buying private party or from a dealer.

Makes sense. The only thing I really don't want to compromise on is drivetrain. I really really really do not want a rear wheel drive Escalade. And I know they are less pricey.

meh might as well get rid of the altima those barely last 35k before the CVT goes out
I test drove a sentra before the CVT was dead at 34k miles it revved up to 3500 rpm the top speed was pathetic 10mph... it might be fine if this was 1910 with all the horse and buggy's around ....


honestly i would only buy it if it has detailed records.. and that they changed the oil at lest every 5-7k (i know it has 8qt which will extend the OCI a bit more)



stay away if there is any wear to the hitch don't buy one that was used for towing since the transmission will be worn out (heat related wear)

This is the best post you’ve ever made.

I have a 2010 Express with 41K on it and my drives a 2007 4Runner with 30k. I sold a 2004 Tahoe Z71 in 2011 that had 14K on it. So yes it is possible. Unusual, but possible.

 

[Steedog]

Doh!
I hope I haven't confused anyone. I meant 30 grand and not 30k miles. While on the topic, I definitely think it might be next to impossible to get a 2015 AWD Escalade with 30k for less than 30 grand

How would you tailor your search if this were you?

I would agree. It's hard just to get a 2015 suburban for less than 30k let alone an AWD Esky. May need to bump it up to 40k or so as a bottom dollar.

Ahhh, no....

maybe with 60k.miles....

I must have fallen asleep and somehow I woke up in 1994.

In 2019, which is the year it was when I fell asleep, the internet had become totally pervasive to the point where detailed objective information was available on just about any subject. And we were able to get to all of it on our phones if we wanted to!

If I were looking for a preowned car in 2019, I would have gone to a few websites like Edmunds, TrueCar, or KBB. Those listed the values for used vehicles, even adjusted for mileage and options. Then, I would have gone to a site like Autotrader to see how many of the vehicle I wanted were out there on the market, and what people were asking for them.

I suppose I'm not sure what people used to do. I bought my first car in 1986, it was a complete guessing game then.

Yo! Too funny, bro

How many miles are on your Burb now? That thing still looks immaculate. I miss my white hoe!

Last Feb I traded my 2012 platinum Escalade in for a Callaway Tahoe, it was my 12th Escaalade, and I just could not see a 20k price difference between a platinum Escalade and a 6.2 Tahoe, had three 2012 platinums, had one at each home, and the last one had under 10k miles. Was at the Chevy dealership picking up another car, and I asked them what my "Escalade today" that day they told me 40k for my trade, I could not sign the paperwork fast enough, so I traded it for the callaway
So from this

To this

How would you tailor your search if this were you?

Do a search on cars.com and sort by price. Just found a 2016 Escalade Premium 4x4 with 48k miles for $30,500 from a private seller.
