Vehicle is in  very good condition overall, and this Escalade sold for over $70,000 originally.  Please see below:

Mechanically this vehicle runs and drives beautifully with a ride that you would expect from a Cadillac.  Car starts well and  drives and shifts smoothly.  Vehicle has lots of power and excellent acceleration.  There are no known issues with motor or trans at all.  Vehicle has been maintained with regular oil changes and serviced as needed.  It will also come with a fresh oil change before purchase.  Start the car with the key or use the Remote Car Starter which allows you to warm up the car in the winter and cool it in the summer.  I just replaced the remotes so it will come with brand new Car Starter/Keyless Entry remotes.

The exterior of this car shines like new with chrome accents.  Paint is in excellent condition with only minor door dings and rock chips as you would expect.  The rear bumper has a very minor flaw in it, but it is hardly noticeable.  I have included a picture so that you can see this area clearly.  Windows are tinted for privacy which also makes the vehicle look very ritzy.  Front windshield has two  minor chips from rocks, but these have been there for a year and have not spread.  Power sunroof functions well.  Side running boards make entering/exiting the vehicle easy, and they add a nice chrome look to the car.  Mirrors function properly and none are damaged.

Interior is loaded with beautiful beige leather interior.  Seats also have Cadillac logo on headrests, and floors are protected by custom Cadillac floormats with matching Cadillac Logo.  Seats have no rips or tears, but some of the leather is showing signs of wear particularly on seat bottoms.  Please see pictures.  Vehicle comes with heavy duty rear cargo cover and a rubber cargo liner.  This is great for protecting your carpet underneath, and this has always been in place so the cargo carpet is in great condition.   DVD system works perfectly as do both screens.  Radio and navigation appear to be functioning as they should.  Car has two toned dash and beautiful woodgrain accents. 

Vehicle comes with 20" tires and premium chrome wheels. Tire tread is shown in pictures.  Vehicle comes with Tire Pressure Monitoring System. There is one tire that is reading "0" and the tire pressure monitor light comes on when you start the car. I suspect that the sensor on that tire has probably gone bad.  This was not a feature that I really used so I didn't replaced it, but if you want it looks like a new sensor sells for about $35-40 on Ebay.   This vehicle comes with a full sized spare. 

The only other issue that I know of is that the speedometer and the lights below it have  been working intermittently.  I have been told that this is likely due to a speedometer clock motor which can be rebuilt through a service on Ebay for less than $75.  As mentioned this is working intermittently so when you see/drive the vehicle it may work fine.  This does not affect the odometer's function so the mileage on the vehicle is true and accurate.   This vehicle is still being driven occasionally (ex. to get the oil changed, etc.) so the mileage may be slightly different at the end of the auction.  Vehicle is also for sale locally. 

Car has current Virginia Safety inspection and comes with a clear title.  You are welcome to see and drive the vehicle prior to bidding or you may have a mechanic inspect the car on your behalf.  I will be happy to ship this vehicle, but you are responsible for all shipping costs and liabilities associated with doing so.

This is a NO RESERVE auction!

Cadillac Elmiraj Concept slinks in Leno's Garage

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Jay Leno's Garage has moved to Pebble Beach for the week. This time around, the affable comedian is taking a look at the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept that debuted during the Monterey car week, and is talking to General Motors vice president of global design, Ed Welburn.
There's plenty of reminiscing about what concept cars were like when these two were kids, before a fairly deep dive into the striking Elmiraj Concept itself. Welburn shares a few anecdotes about the design process behind the two-door concept, including how his designers changed his mind on the grille design.
After bringing up the Cimarron, Leno makes a solid point that the Elmiraj would be a solid production car that could even spawn a four-door variant. We couldn't agree more. Take a look below for the full video from Jay Leno's Garage.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

GM moving international sales HQ to Singapore from Shanghai

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

General Motors has announced that it will be moving its international headquarters from Shanghai to Singapore, a move that will see 120 employees working from the city-state by the time business opens in 2014. Meanwhile, 250 to 300 of the employees at the Shanghai office will remain in China, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
The shuffle is part of a bigger reorganization that will see GM isolate its operations in the People's Republic from its broader international efforts. This sort of divide-and-conquer strategy will allow GM to still react to emerging markets while, according to the WSJ, providing a dedicated management team for the Chinese market. The team in Singapore will be responsible for operations in Africa, southeast Asia, Australia, India, South Korea and the Middle East, on top of managing Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, according to a statement from GM.
The shift to Singapore "will help us to create a renewed identity for CIO (Consolidated International Operations) and lead GM's umbrella strategy for the region," said GM Executive Vice President of CIO, Stefan Jacoby.
