We are looking to upgrade to a larger SUV with our growing family. I’ve been shopping around for a good bit now (x7 M60i, Suburban, Sequoia) and now an Escalade. I ended up finding a low mileage fully loaded 2024 with only 12k miles.
It’s a certified pre-owned so the warranty is still valid. Sticker price is at $109,800 with original MSRP at just over $133,000. As I mentioned it’s fully loaded and has just about every option.
I live in PA but the car is located in Delaware. Trying to get some insights on price and whether or not it seems like a fair deal. I get the sense they are willing to wiggle on the price but trying to understand what a fair and honest counter would be…if any.
isnt 2025 not only a facelift but entirely new interior as well? I would calculate total cost to own between this and the new body by making some conservative assumptions. Numbers may not look very different.
One year old used car on a model with a major engine issue? Too much of a possibility for me that it was bought back before it would officially have to be lemoned.
Step one of any best practice is to pick the right car.
I’m a little confused why you started off with X7 (unibody) and the price range of a Sub/Seq and moved away to an Escalade. Test driving a Lexus TX would have been the logical next move for me.
Do you really want to pay for a cat back sport exhaust and performance brake kit for your family vehicle?
It is not exactly low mileage at 12K in the first year. The vehicle was also not maintained properly as the initial 5K service was not done until 12K miles. I would walk away.
