I'm looking for a 2016 Escalade Platinum. I would appreciate it if anyone can steer me in the direction of a Cadillac dealer that sells at Supplier Pricing and has vehicles that are 50 state smog compliant. I live in California and the few dealers that I have found do not have the 50 state smog legal vehicles on their lots.

A dealer has to honor supplier pricing if you have the GSU.

But for what it's worth, I got my first Denali at GSU and my second one without GSU and it was much less.

I don't have the GSU. I am just looking at is as a target price point. So far the best I have been able to do on a 2016 platinum is about $1000 over supplier pricing.

Just a thought but why not just order the vehicle that way you want it dealers really have no clue what people want they just configure things however they want.I swear they have a huge dartboard with options on it and just throw darts and that's how they order vehicles

Only problem with ordering one is I need to take delivery by the end of the year to take the tax write off. I'be found plenty optioned the way I want just having a hard time getting local dealers to really budge on price.

If you're willing to go to Idaho, I've asked Dave Smith in Kellogg if they have 50 state emissions on their vehicles, which they said they do. Thery've got 5 Platinums on the lot according to their website. They don't post their prices, however.

Thanks I'll check them out. I don't mind shipping it to me at all.

I have 3 dealers working against each other right now on pricing. Hopefully I'll get a deal hammered out here in the next day or two.

I agree. I was looking at a fully loaded premium at first, but after sitting in a platinum I was sold.

If you haven't already gotten a deal, look up Rancho Motors in Victorville, CA. Ask for Jason Wilkins, he's the General Manager and personal friend of mine for over 15 years. Tell him Keith Panza sent you. He almost got me to take a 2015 Escalade off his hands last week, but my wife wants the Denali (loves the look). Anyways, he's very proactive and great guy (his dad owns the dealership!!)

Thanks. But I just signed a deal yesterday to get one sent over from another dealership. Got them to match supplier pricing on a 2016 platinum in Dark Granite Metallic black interior and black inserts.

Appreciate all the help

@shundal my local dealer is usually pretty reasonable on pricing especially towards the end of the month and I think they have a few Platinums. http://www.vaughnautomotive.com/ Call them and if they do not have it they can get it and likely at a good price.

Thats the color combo I'm shooting for on a premium (the rims/grill on the platinum are just too baller to me, and while the suede headliner looks great with 3 labs and being a hair magnet, I'm sticking with premium)

Now if I can only find a grey/black one with running boards and a bench seat....

I was getting offers of 81,200 on a 87550 sticker (plus about 2k credit card so 79 ish) for new or 78350 on equal sticker for 'event' (200-300 mile trucks used for advertising at events) vehicles with no credit card earnings

I think they were less willing to deal on the platinums but really wasn't investigating...

After a lot of haggling and putting a few dealers against one another this is the deal I got:

MSRP - $94770
Negotiated Price - $89,559

It's funny because my dealer is doing a dealer trade with the dealership that I already tried to make a deal with, but they wouldn't go below $92,000.

They claimed I wouldn't find a dealer within 100 miles that would beat their price!

Can't wait to respond to their sales manager after I take delivery!
