2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD 6.0
2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD 6.0 V8 – No Stories, Low Miles, 2-owner
Summary:
Up for sale is our 2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD with a 6.0 Vortec V8 engine. This is a 2-owner (both adults), no stories, no accidents-vehicle with low miles (~11k/year). I have done over $5k in maintenance in the past 5,000 miles; the truck is turn-key and ready to go. This is a GM executive vehicle and was ordered in 2001 by the previous owner. We purchased it in August of 2008 with 56,000 miles. Since then, we have had a worry-free experience, day-in and day-out. It is no secret why the Escalade put Cadillac back on the map. This truck has aged well and continues to show as new thanks to being garaged every day since new in 2002. In my previous life, I detailed professionally, so the passion and care continued on this vehicle; More on that below.
As far as defects and problems, there are very few, and nothing serious. The rear bumper and driver’s door have a couple of scuffs and chips that have been touched-up, wetsanded, and polished. While they are hardly noticeable, I know they are there, so I must note that. There is also a couple of small dings on the front driver’s and front passenger’s door. The driver’s side heated seat does not work (hasn’t worked since I’ve owned in, but being in Texas hasn’t pushed me to have it fixed). There are a few lights on the radio buttons that do not light up, but the buttons work fine.
