If that's what you want for the rig, ask what you want... Just keep in mind you may not get what you ask. I am in the market for a GMC Yukon Denali or Escalade, but the prices some people list are absurd to be honest. You can get an 07/08/09 for the same amount with the same miles... Just keep that in mind.

Throw that at him and see what he says IMO If he wants the vehicle bad enough that price won't be bad to him considering it's a pretty clean ride. The worst he can say is no and if he tries to negotiate too far away from that just say no and "walk away" from the deal :)
Yeah... it will be 10k firm. Thats what i paid for it a few years ago in stock form with 90k on it.

Yeah... but I dont need... or have to sell. Just simply that someone is interested... thats all.

If he does not want it... im just as happy.

I follow the rule that there are 2 kinds of cars for sale - those that are for sale, and those that are sold. No matter how much value we infer to a car, it's value continues to evaporate. I just bought a 2001 Suburban - 132,000 miles - and it looked great. Paid $5,100 - and that was an over-payment. So far I have over $4,500 just in parts - mostly from Rock Auto, spent to get it road worthy. I didn't expect to have to do this, but that's the way it goes. I went a bit intense on some of the repairs. For example - not just new pads and rotors, but new calipers and rubber brake fluid supply hoses on every wheel. My point is I am buying to keep, and at this point I must keep it - because it is still worth no more than $5,100. By the way, the shock absorbers were a real kick - over $800. Never saw that coming.

So, consider keeping. That pretty new face you see out there calling for you ain't all she is made out to be.

This. Absolutely. If you're happy with your truck, don't be anxious to sell the "little darling". If the potential buyer wants yours badly enough, he'll cough up the cash; otherwise, let him go through the time and expense of duplicating your chariot. Good luck on a complete recovery from your injuries.

You have the nicest NBS Esky on here imo, it's very clean and tastefully modded, go by the KBB and tack on for what you've done to it cause if it's exactly how you want it you'll have to do that all over again on your next one no point in giving it away, if you don't get what you want it's not meant to be sold right now

No problem, I wanted to get an Esky in the Caddy white after seeing yours, but I guess the white ones only came with the light interior? Ended up with a black one

So im not sure what to do. I LOVE my caddy and Its almost exactly modded the way I want minus a few lil things...

Its lowered... white 22s... cai... remote start... after market headlight housings with HIDS and HIDS in the fogs... carbon fiber wrapped all of the wood... perfect leather...etc etc etc...140k and runs like a champ.

Ive been approached by a guy that wants it although he has not made an actual monetary offer yet... however I want to have my mind set right when he does.

I looked up book value and the 02 is not worth that much... do I actually offer it for sale for what KBB says EXCELLENT condition is?

(Ill get another esky, thats not the issue)

Or do i make the price higher to be something that makes it more worth it to me and something for him to think about...?

Or do I just keep it cause its hard to find them not all ratted out?

1: beautiful truck 2: once you get the money then you will need to start all over again so what would be the point if you love it that much?

I guess if I get a higher price id make some in the middle being that they are cheaper to buy in stock form.

Yeah, if you sold yours for 10k you could more than likely score an 04/05 in decent shape.
Thats kinda what I was thinkin... when he made the suggestion to buy mine.

Well we will see what he says. I told him 12k or cash talks.

Unless the offer blows your socks off....don't sell, especially to get back into an '04 or '05. What's the point since it's the same body style and you already have yours modded the way you want it?
