This is truly a one of a kind Cadillac Escalade ESV that will be exciting to own! I'm the second owner, but the first owner was Danny Graves, a MLB pitcher who played most of his career with the Cincinnati Reds and made over $25 million in 10 years. He bought this Escalade ESV brand new for his wife and immediately had quite a bit of custom work done to it, bringing the investment of it to around $85,000! His wife was not content with the standard "white" as she wanted it to stand out from other Escalades, so it was completely repainted a pure arctic white instead of the factory white which is more of an off white/tan color. Then, they took it to Ultimate Audio in Ocala, Florida and had a custom leather interior put in that is the Louis Vuitton brand. Yep, the Louis Vuitton logo is all over inside this thing, pretty cool, and the ladies go crazy over it! Ultimate Audio also put in 4 headrest DVD player/screens with wireless headphones for all of the passengers and then took it one step further by adding a switch inside the center console so that the driver/front passenger can also see the same screen everyone else sees on the dash GPS screen! Then, Ultimate Audio added custom chromed wheels, these things are HUGE! And they also added a STRUT chrome grille on the front which Ultimate Audio told me was $5,000 all by itself! Wow! The emblem inside the Strut grille also received a custom made "G" that stands for Danny Graves last name. I've kept it even though it's not my initial, it's a great reminder of who owned it. Of course there is leather everywhere, there is automatic everything from the windows, mirrors, door locks, moon roof, both front seats (the front seats and the second row bucket seats are all heated as well!), etc. It has a towing package already installed. Nice net in the very large back cargo area to hold your groceries. Factory DVD GPS on a large screen in the dash. AM/FM/6 disc CD stereo player in the dash that sounds awesome through a BOSE sound system. Cruise control. Lots of switches on the steering wheel to play with. On-Star, which is great, I've had my Verizon number put in it and use it for hands free cell phone calls, you can have your own cell phone number put in it. 345 horsepower 6.0 V8 engine that has received on-time oil changes and I have the dealer only use synthetic oil as it's better for the engine even though it cost more. Oh, I've also only used premium gasoline as it's better for the engine too. It's also four wheel drive which is great no matter where you're going to drive it! This is the ESV version, so it has a TON of room inside! There is plenty of room for 7 adults in comfort and if you have more and don't mind going "illegal", you can fit another person between the second row seats and probably 4 or 5 kids in the back cargo area. If it's important to you, this has been a non-smoker vehicle. The Escalade is in very good condition. It's a 2005 however, so it's not going to be like a 2011 model, but then again, you're getting a heck of a deal on this as compared to a new one!!! Someone scraped the back lower side panel with their vehicle when they parked next to it while it was parked. I didn't see it happen as I wasn't in it, but I can tell what happened. I got an estimate from a reputable local body shop for $1,100 to completely fix it and repaint the whole quarter panel and also above it even though it's just the lower part. I photographed the lower side panel and have included that image here. One of the rear monitors has an issue, but I've bought the exact monitor before on ebay for $100, so if you need all 5 monitors working, plan on that. I've taken these things into account when establishing my price to sell this Escalade ESV at just $22,000. Kelly Blue Book, which is the premier authority on establishing pricing on used vehicles, says that a 2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV in "good" (there are fair, good and excellent ratings) condition being purchased from a private individual should sell for almost $24,000 with 66,000 miles on it. Seeing that this vehicle was originally around $85,000 with all of the extra goodies installed on it, I think that I'm being way more than fair at offering it for just $22,000. That is below book value and you're getting a lot more than the usual factory items with this one! A $500 deposit by Paypal is due immediately and the remainder needs to taken care of within 7 days. If you want to fly in to Orlando, I'll gladly pick you up at the airport, it's an hour and a half away from our home. There is no warranty included with this vehicle and it is sold as-is. I owe roughly $5,000 yet on this vehicle and will do whatever it takes to prove to you that I'm paying it off at the same time I receive full payment from you. Look at my 100% positive feedback here on ebay, I'd never do anything to risk that as I sell a lot of items here. I sold our Ford Mustang on here and I sell a lot of iPod Touch's as one of my businesses. Any offers will need to be very close to the buy it as the vehicle is worth more than the buy it now. The vehicle is kept inside my garage. If you want one totally cool (I am often asked if I'm super rich or am a celebrity because of being seen in this vehicle) Cadillac Escalade ESV, this is the one! The pride of owning a Cadillac Escalade is pretty great and then to have one like this that is way beyond ordinary Escalades, you'll love the feeling! I about forgot, the Escalade has a Viper alarm system that was professionally installed. Something cool is that the Viper alarm system has a REMOTE START! You can be a long ways away from the Escalade and make it start up just by pushing two buttons at the same time on the remote! Great to impress people or to get the inside cooled down or heated up before you get in. About the $5K that I owe on the Escalade...I read up online about how to purchase a vehicle from a private individual when they haven't yet paid it off and I've learned that basically we write up a Bill of Sale which is a legal binding agreement that shows your ownership of the Vehicle with your full payment and that the cleared title will be overnighted to you as soon as it's ready. We can have a local Notary Public witness our signatures and approve it with their stamp and signature. As for a license plate for the vehicle, the DMV is just a few minutes from our home and we can get you a temporary plate that will be good for either 30 or 60 days. Any questions, please ask. Look at my 100% positive feedback of over 1,350, click on my feedback number and you'll see that I've been an ebay member for over 12 years. Send me a message through here and I'll be happy to give you my personal email so I can show you any documentation that you want to see on the vehicle, etc. If you want the vehicle shipped to you, it's your responsibility to take care of that, but I'll be here to help the company that picks it up.
