I have a ‘99 with 125k that I picked up for $5k in early 2021 right before things went crazy with used car prices. It’s been great so far with only some trouble with the A/c switches. Everything else works great. Once a luxury truck, haul kayaks and mountain bikes with it. Comfy ride home from a day of fun, the kids actually love it. MPGs are low, but we got over 16+ on a long trip from PA to OBX with 4 passengers plus luggage. Not selling any time soon.
Yeah I have trouble with the ac switch to the vents so what I do is tap lightly with a soft hammer the front face black box underneath the glove box while switching to upper vents and it works they start blowing normal but I never turn it off or it cuts out again so yeah I don’t switch it off always on and never switch it to anything else just vents I got 275k on mine
That is real wood even on the steering wheel. Zebra wood from Africa. In the manual it says so I believe. Mine has almost 200,000 miles. Its been a workhorse and we love it will keep the 99 but it has electrical issues that make it a risk now. Just bought a 2010 Escalade EXT with 90,000 miles. Love Caddie
I still drive my 99 YUKON DENALI and love it but always thought GM was lazy by selling this as a Cadillac , regardless of Ford getting a jump on them , they duked people out of money just from a badge swap , shady sells in my opinion , cant tell me by changing the badges it cost thousands more , with that said i do love its a 2 year model only , i never see the same truck parked near me , in a world where trucks look like rigs from space , im happy with my old yukon , always get compliments on it , im hoping its my last truck i plan on keeping it till i leave this place ....
Always loved the front end of this generation. And those plush seats. The newer Escalades have hard uncomfortable seating, they could learn a bit from looking back 20 years to this.
Just got one today needs work! Miss on cylinder 5 and 02 sensors also power steering hose leaking. The miss is most likely spider injectors :( But had factory rear locker
got 216k on mine 99 but had the distributer gear chip out on me after getting on it on the freeway. currently repairing it. The vehicle was also "Attempted" totaled after it got hit on the driverside tire by another vehicle going about 40mph. but great looking truck just need the front bumper an driver side fender re-painted
i have a 99 yukon denali on my propertybut it doesnt look like this its the boxy model, whats the difference between the 2 cause theyre the same year but look different
I have one & it's still running strong, 515 thousand miles on it... The only thing I had to change was the starter last year... Great SUV!!!!!
I still want one
Getting one Tom with 35k miles
Are you serious!!? I’m exactly going to pick one up soon! That’s great news to hear
About to grab one with 200k miles for $3500 seem like a good deal ?
@@ItsKingMJJust test drive it to make sure that the transmission is good. That is the most common problem with these models & year.

Is it essentially a mid 90's chevy pickup? I ask cuz I have a killer deal on a 2000 and have a 95 Silverado parts truck
Yes, most parts are interchangeable, less body flex than a Silverado 1500
What a classic
Would have been cool if they made a 1st gen esv too
My favorite looking escalade i waant even alive when it was built
Really nice looking Escalade!
Just bout a 2000 with 112k miles for 8k and it came with the stock 16 inch wheels and some new Escalade 22’s

But had factory rear locker

@@captainog6201 Klamath falls Oregon
How much?
Owners! How much fuel it is eatig in city??
Closer to 12 mpg in the city and like 15 highway. I average 14 in day to day.
@@daveronner1006 annnndd.... How much liters per 100km is it? I do not understand miles, gallons😂 how do you live with them???😂😂
@@daveronner1006 oh, its like 20L/100 km. Its cheap.👍
Like 19.6 litres city to 15.6 highway for like 16.8 combined (all this is per 100km). At least that's what my calculation came out to.
@@daveronner1006 yes, that is it. My Lincoln Navigator 2 eats 27 LPG on 100km. Country Russia, city Voronezh (1million population).
