🤝 Sold 2012 Escalade Premium, $10k with 122k miles in the beautiful safe and affordable Elgin community.

[SMRTSS1]

Just throwing this out there if anyone is interested in this thing before I trade it in, my new car search begins on Thursday. I’m not against selling private to someone on here and I’ll drop the price for TCG but I have an offer of $8500 unseen at Carmax but I don’t want to deal with FB marketplace or selling private to anyone else, it’s just not worth the headache.

All maintenance items done religiously and pretty much all parts replaced with upgrades, oil changes done every 5K with Royal Purple or Mobil1 synthetic.
Has a transferable warranty through Endurance that I will cover the $50 transfer fee and covers the car until 5/25 or 171k.

Why am I getting rid of it? It’s 12 years old and I want something newer, that’s it.

Whats wrong with it? Nothing. Might need ball joints and I haven’t done an alignment in a while but no odd wear on the tires. Drivers side 2nd row seat cushion is smashed down from a car seat being on it (it’ll bounce back).

Black seats?

 

[daturbosix]

is this AWD or selectable 4x4

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I almost guarantee it’s awd. Gmt900 Escalades and Yukons were awd or rwd. Its how I ended up with a 6.2 Tahoe because of that

Sunroof?

This is a need it gone price for sure.

It’s a firm $10k “I know it’ll go to a good home price.” If I put it on FB marketplace I’m asking $12k

Black seats?

Black on black heated and vented (fronts) still work. In fact everything still works including the power running boards and power fold mirrors.

is this AWD or selectable 4x4

All 3rd gen Escalades are full time AWD.

Sunroof?

Yep. Premium package, only thing it doesn’t have is the god awful factory LED headlights.

How’s the floor pan? I have a 2012 Tahoe has a hole in the driver side floor pan, was like that when I bought it in 2021.

 

[Ktj100]

Very interested if it's not too rusty underneath! Shoot me a message!

 

[Ktj100]

Are you willing to share the VIN?

 

[SMRTSS1]

This thing has been garage kept since the day it drove out of the dealership. The “rust” is merely surface rust and if I was going to keep it I was going to undercoat it again this summer. I have yet to struggle getting a nut or bolt off anywhere on the truck. Last time I checked it even still had the heads on all the exhaust manifold bolts.

Honestly the pictures of the frame is the worst of the “rust” and the floor pan is perfect. No rust or rust bubbles anywhere on the painted spots where these normally rust and that includes behind the weatherstripping on the A-pillar, quarter panel, tailgate and rockers.
If you guys want specific pics let me know.

 

[SMRTSS1]

Interior pics.
3rd row is folded down with the Weathertech cargo mat on top of the seats and the cargo cover pulled back.
DVD player works and is controlled by the HU when I can remember how to get it active in the Pioneer menu. You can mirror your phone and play video from your phone to both screens but that requires another interface/dongle that I don’t have.
I even have the original factory headphones and I have no idea if they work, we’ve never used them.

Let me get that cargo cover
