Its not RED and NOT a XT IV ...

My first thoughts too. Thought we had an XT4 on order? That's one hell of a step up from an XT4 to a Escalade.

Well, anyway, congrats @RichSteve and Mrs Steve.

My wife went a different direction.... We almost purchased an BMW X5 but backed out..

LOL, we have an order in but last weekend there was no word about when it was going to be picked up by Cadillac and my wife was tired of waiting (7 months)... Yes, it cost me 53K more but my wife is happy....

The funny thing is a little while ago I received an email from Cadillac stating the order has been picked up, hahahahahaha.... Oh well, its only money!

Still have my 5BW so yes I will change the title.. I'm not "rich" just blessed and broke!

Thanks, I would have loved a V Esky but I really cant afford that....

All the money I "lost" in the market the last 6-8 weeks, I should have bought another 5. I'd be ahead. And yes, you are blessed. Most of us with a 5BW are.

What's another $50K when you moved up from a XT4 to a Esky? It's only money.

Time to start daily-ing the 5. C'mon it's just a car

Lets not talk about the money I've lost in the market in the last 24 months......

 

[Finally-a-V]

Can't be "that" bad a loss. You just bought a $110K esky

Congrats, brother

Thank you sir, but I received GMS (employee discount) so the cost was way lower as the markup on Escalades are CrAzY!

 

[CBH]

Lucky you got one with Arlington (only plant making them) being the latest UAW target.

Congrats Steve !!

Happy Wife Happy Life.

Good thing the carbon fiber wasn't on constraint for the Escalade...

Out of curiosity how did she decide to go from a small XT4 all the way up to an Escalade? That is a big size difference.

Well, back in the day she only drove new Yukon Denalis and she liked them a lot and then she wanted something smaller so she drove several different cars for a few years...

When it came down to getting the XT4 she liked it and wanted it but we had no time frame on when the order would be picked up and delivered.... Went to see Dustin on Saturday after looking at BMW's and he showed her the Esky and she liked it so I had no choice but to get my extremely awesome wife the vehicle she wanted..

Sounds like Dustin knows exactly what he's doing, he played that perfectly!
