Here's What a Well Taken Care of 2009 Cadillac Escalade Looks Like 12 Years Later!!!

The Clinton voice is surprisingly good

[@Boogy816]

Man I love the 07-14 GM SUVS they all look good still to this day

[@13_13k]

I bought a black '08 ESV three years ago with 93k miles fully loaded awd in excellent condition. It now has 115k and I have had the computer upgraded for the 6.2 motor it was stock with 403 hp and now it has an extra 50 or 60 hp , new shift points for the transmisiion , no governor, timing set up for 91 octane. I love my Escalade.. oh I paid $13k

[@TheBully010]

Basically you mean you got 50+ HP from just a computer tune?

[@juliobello4561]

I have a 2010 but lifter gave up on me. But it has 221k. I live in San Francisco have soo many trips to Seattle, Las Vegas, Los Ángeles and Tijuana amazing highway cruiser. I’m going to drop 5k for the rebuild and some upgrades cam and new tuning. Afm and dod delete too.

[@13_13k]

@@juliobello4561 --- If you like the truck then put a new motor in it. About two months ago I put new pads and rotors on all four corners. I bought AC Delco Super Duty set up for towing and extra weight. Parts cost around $500.00total. I had those installed by my mechanic because I didn't have time. Then a couple weeks later I felt the trans slip going into 2nd gear and 3rd gear so I checked the fluid and it smelled a little burnt and I know it needed service, almost 130k and never done since I bought it at 90k. On my wac to my mechanic shop I lost power leaving a red light like limp mode and I pulled into a gas station, got gas and waited about 5 minutes and it ran fine to the shop. The trans service was $400 gor total flush and filter, etc...and it lost power while mechanic was test driving it. It turned out to be the fuel pump. $800.00 just for the new pump and sending unit from Cadillac, I'm not putting aftermatket in because it is in the tank ajd the tank has to be dropped and drained to get the new unit swapped in place. So I ended up spending $700.00 for brake pads and rotors and labor, and $1800.00 for trans service and new fuel pump and sending unit and tank flush all within a couple weeks. But it's a great truck, I love driving it. I have four payments left and its paid off. Runs fantastic. Two weeks ago had a job in Lancaster, almost 2 hour drive with a 3k foot elevation change and temperature change from 66° down to 40° with some rain and it ran great doing 85 or 90 most of the way loaded with tools and material. I'm talking both back rows seats folded and loaded with tools, wire, 4-6-8 foot ladders, full electrical service truck.

[@shelbyng8703]

​@juliobello4561 The '07, '08 and the '09 didn't had AFM so no lifter issues. Almost all owners use some kind of electronic gadget to get rid of it. Or delete it all together after a lifter failure.

[@13_13k]

@@shelbyng8703--- you are correct. I specifically was shopping for an '08 for that reason. My '06 Dodge Magnum R/T Hemi has the 5.7 l that shuts down part of the valve train for "better fuel economy" and their system fails also like GMs. Another reason the '08 Escalade is one of the best years is the L92 all aluminum engine. It allows for easy upgrades for more power without having to do a lot of work on the motor.

[@lorddylanwolford3192]

I just bought a 2013 esv with 21k miles on it I absolutely love it

Bought mine in April of this year and I absolutely love it!!! I got it with 86.000 miles on it and I’m NEVER GETTING RID OF IT💯💯💯💯💯 best vehicle I have ever owned hands down.

I have one 2010 with over 200k but engine needs rebuild my only recommendation is do AFM delete. 👌🏼 anything else amazing cruiser miss driving it.

Mines got 109k miles, uncle bought it in 2009 and gave it to me about a year and a half ago with about 93k miles on it i absolutely love the car especially that 6.2L V8. Not so much the $80 in gas every 4 days but the cars worth it.

my 2011 ESV has 191k miles and it still looks great

[@natlovell122]

Those trucks are so bad ass, better keep that thing til the wheels fall off!! I have 193k miles on my ‘04 Suburban and the thing is a still running and shifting strong, just fixing her up as she ages, much better than spending $80k on a new one

Just got a 2013 cadillac escalade platinum with only 74,400. Looks , smells and drives like brand new !

I feel like this body style is going to be an iconic/collector as the rest of the ones on the road now will be ridden hard and rusted out.

[@chloeroberts8954]

Yes this body style caddy, Yukon, and tahoe I ABSOLUTELY LOVE I just don't know what it is about that style but it's better looking to me

I just got a 2014 ESV Platinum. I love that generation/body style. Putting new struts and ball joints on it. but I love it!!!

As a Dutch person I am interested in getting one....they are not that hard to find over here. But the thing must have been maintained properly.... I love the look of this type a lot ,the older one and new one much less.

this is an excellent colour for this car.

What did you pay for it? The used car marketplace is a mess right now and I’m having trouble figuring out a decent price to pay for one

[@jamesstephenson2346]

@@AirRozay23 nothing. You buy them when they are cheap. I own 2 of them. If I was in the market again I'd pay about 12k for both combined, based on what they are worth

I just bought a pearl white 2013 Cadillac EXT with 141,700 miles or 228,000 km on it for $11,000 even Canadian or $8,169.68 U.S. One owner a 74 yr old man and it is absolutely perfect. I sold my Dodge Nitro for $4,000 Cnd or $2,970.69 U.S. so actually bought the truck for $5,198.99 U.S. or $7,000 Cnd. I think he gave me a really great deal. Problem is my Nitro was $780.00 Cnd a yr for insurance and the EXT is $2230.00 Cnd a yr. So will make up for it on insurance costs. I guess it's still on the high theft list.

[@TheAries323]

In need of a full size SUV. When shopping between the 2007-2014 Chevy Tahoe LTZ, GMC Yukon Denali or Cadillac Escalade is there really a difference in durability/performance??? Prices are starting to come down and shockingly I’ve noticed I can find an Escalade easier than I can a Tahoe or Yukon in better condition and less mileage. Kinda worried since most are over 100K mileage and not enough close by which means I have to travel out of state to buy…Suggestions??? Thanks!!!

[@MelvinWaldron]

Currently own the notorious problematic issue CTS Soon purchasing an Escalade.

[@christianrobinson4724]

From 07 and up all gm escalades are 6.2l besides the hybrid model.

Just found one with 77,000 miles!

[@lacboiatl]

7:40 I'm throwing a wrench in the mix........ if it were a hybrid it'll be a 6.0 🤣🤣🤣lfa is the rpo code for that engine but I'll rather gave the 6.2 because those batteries are notorious for going bad in those hybrids

Great video!. The escalade is really big car , and little bit more of gas comsuption. ;)

Here in the Philippines a 2008 to 2010 escalade Costs around 30 to 40k usd. Taxes and rarity makes them expensive here.

If the price is right 6.2 engine and 4L80e transmission are damn near bulletproof I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on a 07 myself for 10k OBO 180k one owner truck has been only dealer maintained. I basically already have the same truck 07 Yukon Denali I don’t care I want that Caddie

In my area of Buffalo Ny, and the surrounding erea. The 2009 to 2012s 2ith 100 to 120k go for 20 to 22k. I'm boutta get a 2011 and offer 2k less. And bag it for 18k. Then drop 2k on some 26" rims.

[@jamesstephenson2346]

#1. Don't trust 2k dollar 26. They are trash. #2. Don't pay 18k for a 11 year old gm. It's stupid as shit. They aren't worth it (I own 2, I know the quality and value. It's not worth it.)

What are your thoughts in buying a Hybrid Escalade 2010 with 294k miles?

[@jamesstephenson2346]

It's an absolutely atrocious idea. The hybrids suck to start with, it's got a weak 6.0. The battery packs are expensive, heavy and bound to be complete garbage. 300k on a gm means it's a lawn ornament. I have 2 of this style escalades, both with under 200k. Both on have severe quality issues. Pay no more than 3k, as it's realistically a parts truck
