I Bought an “As-Is” Cadillac Escalade and got $10,000 off because the Dealer Couldn’t Fix It

1. Who already knows he got this cheap just because the auction site wanted free publicity by a Youtuber?

2. It sat under water for 3 days.

3. You have a great Cadillac. Hope it gets fixed.I hope you enjoy Very soon

4. Bad lifters and bad trans all of them

5. It cost GM 10-15k to make an Escalade from start to finish leaving a whole lot of room for them and dealerships to make huge profits

6. I can tell you one thing the adaptive cruise control module both of them were in the complete wrong spot than were they should be

7. this should all have been fixed by the cadillac dealer!!!!!!

8. My grandparents have always stayed when you have more features there’s more shxt to go wrong found that out when the ford we had the radio went out luckily it had the 110v outlets from an inverter so I was able to run a simple soundbar under the seat thankfully they traded it in for a ram as my grandfather works highway construction and they swapped their fords out for rams and he was rear ended fairly badly but he was fine thus prompting him to realize that if he was in a ford aluminum body there’s no doubt he would’ve been unalived in that accident but it worked out good because the ram we have is a 2022 ram 1500 big horn with 4×4 and a 5.7 Hemi with etorque, the ride is more comfortable than the ford the only problem I had was when i was battling cancer I had to work hard to get into it because I was wheelchair bones for the longest so I got use to the step rails on the ford but now that I’m good I have no issues but that was the only issue nonissue I had with the ram!

9. The coniveling value most likely has encountered catastrophic peditral circulations. This has resulted in a thermodynamic consequence . Happy to help😅

10. Missed your calling u should bin a teacher in a college ps do u sell your cars when done

11. The problem is that dealerships longer pay their auto techs very well. We can no longer considered the dealerships experts at fixing their products

12. Dealers Normally do not even mess with fixing them. They sell a new one, and send the old one. So it's not unusual at all the car was at auction

13. I figured out why I like your videos. It's watching you get down to the bottom of thimgs and solve it. The battle against time, risk and sanity. Where is the rest of this video. Where you accomplish that.

14. I don't know if a bone else noticed but that grill was replaced! Notice how it has the new style emblem when the rest of the truck has the old emblem. Definitely in an accident

15. The front bumper was replaced. This is an early 2015 model with the old cadillac crest on the rear and the steering wheel. You can see that the front bumper was replaced with the late 2015+ bumper with the updated cadillac logo.

16. That’s a flood car

17. NOBODY BUYS THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE A NEVER ENDING MONEY PIT

18. Love the video. But would not take that car if you gave me it for free. Lol

19. Look here and you won’t look elsewhere 😮

20. The cascading problems due to bad sensors, modules, computers, and wiring just scare me off of these POS new cars. No way these cars are going to last 20 years.

21. Why are American cars so bloody ugly and cheaply made .

22. Regardless of the conditions of the vehicle. It's a surprise to see a car that expensive compared with the quality of it full of plastics nowhere compared to the old day when real cars were made..!

23. Those Escalades are absolute junk. Not sure why you are waisting your time.

24. I own a model X with a previous navigator. I rented a Escalade recently. Horrible understeer and subpar braking. Really felt top heavy. Comparing disc rotator BMW to Cadillac is a joke

25. Mild front collision

26. After all the covid era gouging we are seeing price wars. No one paying msrp. Many times thousands below. Even finance companies being tougher with loans especially luxury brands.

27. Escalades really depreciate after rentals dumped on market.

28. I wish GM would make an electric Escalade. Seems overpriced as a gas car now

29. I'm only part-way through this video. I'm guessing that car took a hit on the front, hard enough to set off the air-bag and the seat-belt tensioner. It's been bodged back together with used parts and a rattle-can. It probably should have been totalled, but somebody didn't want to get dinged on their insurance and didn't report it. so they patched it up to look pretty and dumped it. There are going to be loads of broken parts, including a good number in the steering and front suspension.

30. Water really doesn't damage circuit boards unless there's power going through the board. I'm into vintage computers and it's a common technique to put old motherboards through the dishwasher and clean with IPA. Just make sure they've dried out for several days.

31. This car has enough symptoms of exposure to flooding that I think that’s the root cause. Having said that, my next step would be to look for highest point of damage and go from there. Occam’s Razor. It’s still a good purchase.

32. God I wish we had these in Australia and that I could afford one. I hate how we mis out on the good GM 7 seat SUV's over here. I got a Toyota Kluger (*Highlander) and I would take ANY main GM based SUV over it with 7 seats in either the 3.6 LFX type GM engine or the good old 6.0/6.2L v8's…..

33. Vtune is rubbing off on him, here… and when this is also bad, here.. and here

34. Modern vehicles have a lot of electronical issues, rogrammed obsolescence

35. Hi Sam. Off topic but can you recommend an OBD-2 scanner? Thanks and keep up the good work!

36. What auction in Ohio I’m in Ohio

37. Well than you probably could’ve gotten even more off of it than

38. We had a 2005 Escalade on the lot about 8 years ago. The radio would randomly come on by itself while the car was locked and sitting on the lot. The windows would also randomly go down on their own at times. Only other time I've seen the "haunted windows" was on an Altima around the same time frame.

39. We don't even put Cadillacs on our car lot anymore, lol. So many issues with electrical, and a lot of them are a pain in the ass to do something as simple as changing a headlight bulb. We had a CTS a few years ago with a burned out headlight 6 hour labor job to change the bulb!!
    We also don't carry any Rang Rovers for obvious reasons, lol.

40. This vehicle is worth fixing, what a great steal you got on it, and once repaired it will sell if you choose for a nice profit.

41. I liked this video because I'm glad my older car is nowhere near as complicated as this one. And less rusty. What kind of primer are they using on the underbody? Salt water?

42. Water damage and electrical issues for sure!

43. All gm products just need to go to the dump lol, I’ll give credit though to the LS motors 🤙🏻

44. The steering wheel doesn't match the emblems on rest of the Escalade either. Steering wheel was totally replaced

45. Modern cars have so many interconnected electronic parts, and it seems that sometimes when one minor function (that you could easily do without) goes sour, it incapacitates the car. This isn't a good thing.

46. Flood damage not reported?

47. Click Bait.

48. Another project that won’t be finished

49. Well, definitely dont like how this dude shamelessly goes right into an advertisement without a care or warning. Has to make his money somehow but that was just bad.
