This vehicle has had only one owner and has been the best vehicle that I have ever owned. Our family is smaller now and I do not need the extra row of seats any longer. It began as a stock ESV and had the following modifications performed prior to original delivery to me: Exterior: Monochromatic finishes were applied- removal and disassembly of front lower grille, outside mirror assemblies, rear tailgate bezel, and rear bumper lower cover. All textured plastic was smooth finished, and either gloss or matte finishes were applied in body color. Front bumper license plate holes were filled. Tow hooks were chrome plated. All exterior emblems were removed. The finish was then clay, wet sand, polished, and waxed to show quality finish. A custom front grille was fabricated and installed.Headlamp assembly surrounds were painted to match body color to lend a small, integrated styling appearance. The rear bumper assembly was modified for a closer body fit than stock. Hitch plug and bracket were removed and a new hidden bracket was fabricated and located underside of the hitch. A custom hitch cover was fabricated and painted to match the exterior. Receiver locks were chrome plated. Lighting: Four beam headlamps were installed for upgraded night visibility. Headlamp bulbs were upgraded to 80W/100W.Custom installed rear back-up lights mounted underneath rear bumper. These lights operate with reverse engagement or can be switched independently. Interior: Center aisle seats were relocated rearward to afford increased legroom while retaining full fold-down feature, recline, and passenger side slide. Third seat was moved 6" rearward for additional legroom. A headphone storage compartment was added to the backside of the third row seat. This compartment, finished in matching carpet, holds 5 sets of headphones for the video entertainment system. Custom fitted luxury carpet mats for front, center, and rear seating areas. Heavy duty winter mats for front, rear, and cargo areas. Mobile Electronics: 9" overhead flip down LCD viewing screen with built in single disc DVD. Secondary front passenger visor with integrated screen, 5 wireless headphones, FM modulator, remote control, and integrated headliner reinforcement panel. iPod car kit system including custom fabricated bracket for full sized iPod. Tellphone Blue 3000 Blue Tooth hands free mobile phone system with voice recognition, remote, and illuminated display. Suspension: Performance suspension system including 175 lb. wheel rate rear coil springs, heavy duty sway bar, re-valved shock assemblies, full alignment, and a 2" lower ride height than stock. Wheels and Tires: Full set of five 20" BBS Pressure cast aluminum alloy wheels custom machined for correct offset, fitment, and hubcentric. Full set of five High Performance Michelin 305/50-20 all weather radial tires speed rated 130 mph. Brakes: Eradi-Speed brake system upgrade including 14" diameter cross drilled/grooved low inertia custom brake rotors including anodized aluminum brake hats, stainless steel reusable hardware, and zinc plated rotor finish. This system increases stopping forces dramatically while utilizing original equipment brake pads. Engine Performance: Twin screw Magna Supercharger system including high-flow fuel system, electronics package, performance air filter, ignition system upgrade, and stainless dual exhaust tips. This system provides 460 HP and 525 lbs torque. This vehicle is equally comfortable in city driving as it is on the highway. Modifications and styling are understated and classic. It has been my family car, and has been well cared for. There are a few minor scratches that I have tried to document in the photos. These issues are minor door paint dings; a couple of minor scratches in the paint, one over the right rear wheel well and one on the rear bumper. There is a 1/2 inch surface crack in the lower center of the windshield. There is minor wear on seats and mats. The console and radio band selector button are somewhat worn on portions of their surfaces. The iPod system switch needs to be repaired. The second row seat slide handles are not operational. The passenger side taillight has a small crack. The vehicle has been cared for at the Cadillac dealership for practically all of its maintenance needs. It has had fluids changed and other routine maintenance performed ahead of scheduled intervals. This vehicle has been driven gently and has been well cared for. It is one of a kind.
