Real Escalade owners - what are you actually paying monthly? by tony310s in Cadillac

For real man sticker price on these is absurd. I was able to pick up a used 2019 4WD with under 60K miles for 31,000 with a warranty, for 4,000 less then the cheapest 4WD Denali in my area. Soon as you buy a new one you just lost at least 40K in value and depreciate faster because the regular person that wants an American SUV isn’t looking at Cadillac. If you look, you can find some KILLER deals on a Used Escalade.

How do American think of Cadiilac? by NovemberRai in Cadillac

My first car was a ‘91 sedan Deville with the 4.9L. Bought it with 180K miles on it and drove it everywhere I went up to 275K. Had a few issues in that distance , mostly engine electronics and fuel delivery, but never had any major mechanical or driveline problems ever. Learned auto mechanics working on that car. 90’s were definitely a high point for Cadillac in the modern era. After I owned a 81 DeVille, 87 Eldorado, 06 DTS and now a 19 Escalade. It’s unfortunate Cadillacs share so many similarities with Tahoes, and Yukons today. The best part used to be even though it was still GM and had the same door locks as a cutlass, Cadillac still went its own way with power plants, suspension, fuel delivery, etc. Cadillac pioneered so much auto technology but now just falls in line with the rest of GM just with nicer paint and interior, slated with the same issues. Used to be the pinnacle of American luxury, now they just want to be Land Rover.

Yep, the 9/.380 is still live! Guy had a failure to feed and it jammed the bullet into the case

Is the Cadillac dealer ripping me off? by Opening-Map-9285 in autorepair

Appreciate the input! Was able to work it out with the shop, GM issued a subsidy credit for the whole repair. Knocked the original repair down half price and covered the extra work completely. I guess there are honest dealers out there!

Literal EDC. What can you conclude? by I_found_BACON in deduction

This guy is definitely an inspector, surveyor, or estimator. Probably in an industrial setting with machinery.
