Escalades are in serious trouble........

[Yaj Yak]

the only reasoning i have for escalades newer than 07 being worth so much is that you could part one out for $6-8k

I can definitely also say as will many others on here, your money goes MUCH further with used navigators than it does with used escalades.

This is just generally a Ford Vs. Chevy thing, has been as long as I can remember for Trucks.

My default Go-To in this kind of discussion is "I can buy a 2004 Ford Expedition for $3,500, that can tow 7000lbs, and hold 7 people, and be reasonably reliable, while a similarly optioned and condition Tahoe is $7000"

That being said moving into the luxury market I think the value proposition is a bit different; I feel that the used Lincoln aviators and navigators I've kicked at have been generally FAR more ragged than similar Escalades. I feel like because they depreciate harder; the second owners of these cars seem to never take care of them for shit (probably can barely afford them in the first place), and the GM Trucks just seem to hold up better when poorly taken care of compared to Ford Trucks.

I think this then just exacerbates the fact that they can be picked up cheaper, because generally they just aren't as well kept as a similar Escalade.

Maybe others who buy/sell can chime in on this, but that's just been my experience.

you're buying new?

Fuck no!!! I can’t afford that price tag. Matter of fact I’m considering trading in my Escalade for a VW Alltrack simply because of mpg’s. If I get transferred for work I’m definitely going to need something better than 17 mpg’s on the highway since my commute that’s recently doubled will be doubled again and I’ll need room for the family and a psychotic dog.

For what it’s worth the new gen Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade 3rd row seats do in fact fold flat but there’s a riser in the rear to take up the extra space.

F that, commuting sucks. Take the truck home?

3. the interior being better than the escalade means jack shit... the navigator has had a better interior, like, every single generation

I always felts the opposite. The older Navigators were straight up junk inside with hard plastics. The Escalade had hard plastics, but I felt the quality was a bit better and the overall design was better to me. My opinion, others might disagree.

Simply put, it doesn't matter how nice Lincoln makes the navigator, consumers are still going to buy Escalades, and I'll still be getting picked up from the airport in Navigators.

What's nice about when Lincoln puts out a new car.....you can pick up a used one in a few short years for about $4500.

This is the truth, and i swear regardless of how nice lincolns look when they're brand new, within a few years they're ALWAYS incredibly dated looking. Maybe i'm the only one that thinks that, dunno, but to me it's basically universal across all of their models. My dad had a company MKS back in 2009-10 and everyone LOVED the styling of that car, myself included, but by 2013-14 when i'd see one on the road it looked like a 10 year old design and was worth so little that i'd expect it to have vogue tires and mirror window tint.

You have too much time on your hands. Lol

Shit, some of those 08+ Navi's are tempting lol.



I'll still gladly pay double for an Escalade

I'm a Ford swinger and I am going against my kind. Let me have a moment here.

The 1st Gen Navi and Escalades were straight up junk. The 07 Escalades were a game changer in the segment. They drove nice, had a nicer interior, and looked great.

I like beer.

Being serious though...who the fuck spends $90k on an SUV. I'll never understand how escalades sell so well

Interior was typical GM bankruptcy era junk though. Much nicer than 2000-06's but still lacking.

I'd still rock a true 1st gen Escalade lol

[Outlaw]

It aggravates the shit out of me... I think the 07-13 GM's trucks and SUV's are the best looking by a long shot. It just sucks they were rolled in as GM was in their cheap mode. Thin steel, cheap interiors, etc.

 

[Outlaw]

With that being said, once again, I'd still buy an 07-13 Escalade in a heartbeat. Safe bet, I know it's going to be worth damn near what I paid in a year because there will always be a demand.
