Vehicle Overview: This 2003 Cadillac Escalade is a well-maintained classic in great condition. It features a brand-new transmission and a newly replaced instrument panel, ensuring all gauges are bright and fully functional. The car sits on four brand-new tires installed a year ago and includes a new battery.
Features and Configuration: This SUV is equipped with 4WD and the desirable third-row seating configuration featuring two captain seats. It offers a premium luxury experience with the reliability of a low-mileage engine for its age. Recent registration, tags, and a successful smog test make it ready for immediate use.
Ownership History: We are the second owners of this vehicle, which has been kept in the family since new. It was originally owned by my brother before transitioning to us, ensuring a clear and honest history of care and maintenance.
Market Highlights
- The GMT800 Value Proposition: In 2026, the 2002-2006 Cadillac Escalade has moved beyond simple 'used car' status into a respected utility classic. Buyers value the simplicity and durability of the 6.0L Vortec engine compared to newer, more complex turbocharged powertrains.
- Southern California Market Dynamics: The San Clemente and wider Orange County market places a high premium on rust-free, well-documented SUVs. A vehicle that has spent its life in California is often worth 15-20% more than an East Coast equivalent due to chassis longevity.
- Maintenance as Equity: For a vehicle of this age, the listing's mention of a new transmission and instrument cluster is a major differentiator. These are the two most common high-cost failure points for this generation, and having them recently addressed significantly reduces buyer risk.
