| Price of the Cadillac Escalade: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 403-horsepower 6.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Over $70k for the car, not only that, but gas prices are insane, cost slightly less than $100 to fill up at $3.00 per gallon. High repair costs if not under warranty. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 254-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | I bought a 2006 STS in August, 2008. It had 10,000 miles and I paid $22,000, less than half of the sticker price. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 254-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | Purchased as a Certified Cadillac (6 year extended warranty) |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | I bought this used and the depreciation factor is only bad for the people who buy new.If you want a classy car for a good price look around and you can steal one of these. |
