Hey all, after looking at several nnbs escalade esvs i finally "settled" on this one. Its a 2011 esv 2wd, with a brand new engine (with paperwork). Its black on black, 175k miles on the body. Nav, heated/cooled seats, heated steering wheel, flip down dvd, sunroof. Paid $9150 all in. Did i do ok?
Just bought an escalade esv. Did i pay too much?

Sounds like a good deal. You should post some pictures of it.

Sounds like a good deal to me.
Sounds like a good deal to me. At the end of the day, if you feel you got a good deal, that’s all that matters as you will always hear about that one guy who found the deal of the century and get to thinking you messed up.
My dad always told me that it’s not always about making the right decision but it about making your decision be right. Meaning, you can screw yourself into the ground trying to make the perfect decision to point of never making a decision so sometimes you just need to make the call and move on with life.

Brand new engine, new new, or brand new engine-reman or brand new engine-used from salvage yard. If new or reman, what brand? Not saying it is not a good deal but just curious and if the rest is a-o-k with you and you are happy, that is all that counts.
Paperwork says gm crate. So im assuming its general motors. Whether new or if it reman from gm im not sure. Ill look again see if i can find a pn, or code. Its not a mint vehicle, needs some work, butbit was priced low enough i felt i could fix some of the issues. Its priced similar to 07s in my area (also its the only 2wd one ive seen)
Yea, that paperwork should have a part number on it and if you post that part number here, likely an 8 digit number and may have or may not have a letter or two with it, and then @915_Tahoe can likely tell you.
Ok, part number is listed as 12685690.

Welcome Chad, sounds good to me. Keep up on the transmission maintenance. They can start having problems in the 165K range if not serviced regularly.

Well, just fixing the small things is already adding up. So far ive bought 2 new key blanks (oem) to replace the generic aftermarket key (no logo), one key fob (want 2 but not high priority), and the owners manual. Next project is to figure out why the nav screen doesnt light up? It flickers when started, but past that, nothing. The radio does work. Thoughts?
Did the dealer replace the engine? How many miles ago was it replaced and is there a warranty on the new motor?
Yes dealer replaced, it was replaced approx. 1k miles ago, and yes, there is a 2 year warranty on the engine provided with the paperwork
