Thinking of buying the 2002 Cadillac Escalade?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 Cadillac Escalade for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2002 Cadillac Escalade? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the Escalade
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
Power comes from the 5.3L 8-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 50 litres, from its 16.8 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $260.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Escalade
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Living with the Escalade
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy. NHTSA lists it at 5.62 m long. Measure your parking spot or garage first.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Escalade answers more than any brochure.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $260.40 at our price setting.
One more step
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
Rent it for a week before you buy
