Mechanic’s Special

Description

[WELL MAINTAINED: 2011 Escalade - Mechanic’s Special - $3k+ in New Parts. Engine:(#3 cylinder fail) Description: Offering a 2011 Cadillac Escalade in exceptional cosmetic condition. This is the ideal project for a skilled mechanic or enthusiast. The body and interior are in "pristine" condition, Professional shop quoted $10k for a full long-block replacement, but a mechanic with LS experience will recognize the potential for a more cost-effective repair or a performance 6.2L build-out. Professionally diagnosed and confirmed as a Cylinder #3 failure. The engine still turns (not seized), which makes for a much easier core exchange or top-end rebuild for the next owner. I have maintained this vehicle meticulously, and it features over $3,000 in recent maintenance/upgrades performed within the last month: • Brakes: 2-week-old Ceramic pads and rotors. • Suspension: Brand new front struts. • Ignition: Brand new coils, wires, and spark plugs. • Tires: New tread all around. • Misc: Recently replaced rear passenger window motor. The Condition: • Exterior: Very minor dents, scratches, or paint fade. Great "clean" shell. • Interior: Leather is in great shape. • Mechanical: Transmission and drivetrain were functioning perfectly prior to engine law federal agent failure. • Records: I have a folder Enforc of current service records and receipts for all recent work. Owners manual included. Interior & Tech Upgrades: • Tesla-Style Screen: Upgraded vertical plug and play touchscreen infotainment system valued at $1200.(CarPlay/Android Auto compatible). ***This item will not be included in lowball offers, and the upgraded touchscreen will be substituted for the original navigation. • Luxury Trim: Cashmere leather in excellent shape; no dash cracks or seat tears. • Entertainment: Dual headrest DVD monitors )not active) and premium Bose sound. • Sunroof: Fully functional with no leaks. Condition Details: • Body: Raven Black paint with deep shine. Very minor dings or scratches as expected in a 15 year old car. • Wheels: Factory 22" Chrome wheels are in good condition (very minor curb rash given the age). • Minor right rear bumper ding. The Opportunity: While a shop quoted $10k for a turn-key replacement, a mechanic with the tools to swap an LS-based engine can get this luxury SUV back on the road for a fraction of that cost. You are essentially getting a "finished" car once the block is swapped. Price: $6500 OBO Location: Please message. ***For everyone’s safety a picture ID will be required before providing location.
