This will be the fourth GMT800 Escalade to go through BAT in the last 6 weeks; $33K, $25K, $23K so far. So I guess they're starting to get some love again as an enthusiast truck.

TFL featured an Escalade in their recent cheap overlander special too...Good series if you're into that.

Mine will never be 'collectible' given the kms on it (280K now), but I can't think of anything I'd rather have for our purposes, so I'll just keeping taking care of it and giving it whatever it needs.

Nice looking Escalade of this vintage in Halifax.  Mighty tempting.  When you think about it, total cost is less than a year's lease payment on a new or CPO one.

Dang, that is a decent SUV for the money.  Looks like it's in decent shape, but would have to see underneath to know for sure, with it being in NS and Halifax there is the salt air and salt on the roads to consider.

Whoa, twin to ours, even down to the optional factory 20's (which I've only seen a handful of times). Ad says never winter driven and I'd be tempted to believe it, said rims show no pitting, which is a really common issue when they get salted up. Nice truck, no rust (assuming that's accurate) and low kms, that could last someone a lifetime.

Does it tempt you into making an offer and getting one with half the kms?

Nah, I know mine inside and out at this point so I don't worry about the kms on it.....more of a badge of honor at this point.

Alright, not exactly a car, but this is effing cool.  A quick search on the internet shows it sells for approx. $1000.

This 344-mile 2006 Dodge Dakota V8 manual failed to hit reserve at $21,750. Why anyone would buy this particular truck and not drive it is beyond me. I think $20k would have been a fair selling price.

Quote
Story with this truck is a funny one. The previous owner bought the truck new. One week later the dealer called him and offered him thousands to bring the truck back, and told him that this color combination was very rare, and that they wanted it. After hearing this he thought he had something incredibly special, so garaged it, and only drove it to be maintained.

I love that car. I can still remember first learning about it in Car and Driver in 1991 and being amazed by it.

Same. Always had a fascination with these exotic versions of everyday sedans.

I don't actually mind the interior or wheels that much. The price is a bit crazy.
