I'd run from that car and I own a Mercedes GL series. Wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole. One of my tenants is a Mercedes Tech with all the certs. the only problem we've had has been the air compressor for the suspension going out.

If you want to stay with GM, the GMC Yukon ultimate Denali is a better value with very similar luxury. The Cadilac name demands a premium price that it doesn't really match in features. If I was going to stick with a luxury GM, that's the way I'd go.

Save some money and get a fully loaded Yukon Denali or Tahoe instead. They will be just as luxurious and cheaper to maintain (Cadillac dealers charge more for service and parts because, they can).
You pay a lot for the Cadillac badge. It is only a status symbol. Always thought an Escalade was a Nigerian Tahoe

Is it legal for white people to own Escalades or Chrysler 300’s for that matter?
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

I say go for it and make your first road trip to the Miami airport.
Good luck! Can you still get spinners? In North Charleston there are at least two places whose entire business is RENTING fancy wheels and lo pro tires to a certain demographic.

I am thinking about ordering the Escalade. Am in the research stage right now and would be grateful if anyone here had any experience with a later model Escalade.
Thanks No experience with the new Escalade/Yukon/Burb. Had a 2003 Yukon XL, and I liked the size of that config but it had numerous problems. Nothing too serious, except the transfer case ate a hole in it's side. Not uncommon, and the new models are supposed to be more reliable. If I was looking for that type of car today, I'd look at a Sequoia but it's getting long in the tooth for the asking price and probably won't meet your expectations for luxury. Cruiser would be awesome, but it seems like you want a fullsize. Whatever you get, I'd look into any potential accessories that you may want down the road before you buy. Steel bumpers, sliders, lift, etc. Or be prepared to fabricate as needed. Seems like availability can be mixed for the big SUVs.

I am thinking about ordering the Escalade. For the last 10 years I have been driving a 4x4 F-150 and before that it was a 250 with the V-10 engine. I am pretty much out of the horse business so pulling a goose-neck is no longer a consideration.
I find myself wanting luxury and creature comforts so have thought about several options. ie the Escalade, fully loaded, the Lincoln Navigator or an Expedition Platinum. 4x4 is a must and I would usually be traveling by myself w/ one dog, sometimes another person but rarely. I need enough room for some canvas tentage and camping and fishing/hunting gear but that would not take up that much space.
Am in the research stage right now and would be grateful if anyone here had any experience with a later model Escalade.
Thanks If you’re a rapper, professional athlete or “upper middle class hoping to portray yourself as upper class”, then go for it. If you’re a basic white man there’s much better choices.

No one should drive one unless they are a multi millionaire. a net worth of a million dollars isn't really that impressive anymore. Do agree with buying a lightly used vehicle. Well Cadillacs are well known for their electrical problems like Mercedes and BMW's. Look at their resale value and depreciation after 4 to 5 years Nowadays someone with a million dollar net worth will be driving a Camry if he/she has any sense. I view the Escalade as a gussied up Tahoe, basically the same vehicle with some fancier interior trim. Superficial stuff that I personally wouldn't be willing to pay any extra for. If I'm going to pay a premium for a vehicle I expect better baseline quality, not just softer seats. To me that means I'd pay more than Tahoe money for a Toyota or Lexus but not an Escalade.
