Thinking of buying the 2004 Cadillac Escalade?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2004 Cadillac Escalade for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2004 Cadillac Escalade for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 103 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, service brakes and air bags; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
The 5.3L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
By the EPA's combined rating of 16.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 50 litres. Every 100 km costs about $26.04 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Size and space
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
A longer test drive
If the Escalade is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Escalade answers the big questions.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2004 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $260.40 at our price setting.
