I went to get an Escalade, there was no doubt that is what I wanted. When I got there however, they did not have what I wanted in stock (either black or white with sunroof and tv's)
Of course I am contributor to the "I WANT IT NOW" society I left sad, didn't want to order one and wait. Maybe I would check out another dealer.

Anyway, the Lincoln dealer was next door and I had never even given the Navigators a second glance, but my hubby wanted to check them out. OMG! I was amazed! At that point I could not believe it--there was actually no comparison to the emenities the Navigator had compared to the Escalade. After looking at the Navigator the Escalade looked like a suburban to me. Not to mention the fact it was less money. Unreal. No doubt I love the look of the Escalade when they are all blinged out, but for all the extras and price, the Navigator did it for me.

Needless to say I drove out with a bad ass Navigator loaded with every option available :)

It also pulls our boat with no issues what so ever. The ride is unbelievably smooth. Rides just like a luxury car.


I haven't had a chance to take any pics yet, but I will post some when I can. It's raining ashes here right now :(

Hey man, very happy to have finally met you in Vancouver...

I think the answer to your Question is simple.

Go Bling with the Escalade.

Caddee:thumbsup

Bone, go with the Navigator. My partner has one, loves it, I am getting one this week. Caddy is a bit hard for me to fit in, so I am biased of course. More room in the Navi.

That Navigator is 10x better looking than the Caddy.

Im very disturbed by this

go with the cadi man, cadis are pimp.

Ohh great, more money for crazy arab dictators!!

See Bone listen to the people who actually drive Lincolns and have bought one (myself and others) OR listen to the wannabe's who watch Master P on MTV. If that caddy is reminiscent of there cars in the 90's its a hunk of shit.:glugglug

Lincoln RIDE like wind baby

get a denali and mac it out, its a better ride than both of them i test drove all and got the denali completely done up

Love that truck!

caddy will never ride better than Lincolns NEVER sorry.

Escalade :thumbsup

Simon....I use to love the Caddy...now when i see them I see nothing but mindless fools who are wearing clothes way too big, a basketball jersey of sorts etc.

The Lexus is a pretty dope ride...I know you bveing a caddy guy and all....

I would still prefer my daily driver to be a 1970 LS6 454 chevelle with a muncie m-22 rock crusher four speed

but of the choices thrown out .....

I will choose my dignity in this case the LX 470....I am too old to get robbed for my rims

well then jim we can have some fun cause Id much rather be in my 69 stang with the 557 inch Big block lettin know the Blue Oval is in town. But its fuckin winter here all of a sudden and shes put up for the season :thumbsup

Wow that is a big powerplant!!!!

I am a bow tie guy when it comes to old muscle....iIwas playing with 5.0's right out of High School for many years and really thought that Ford had one the race with Chevy.

They tried to refine the Z28 too much...in the late years in particular before the last run the cars were insanely fast....too little too late.

Ford i think is doing the right thing by going with a retro design. The youth market is not able to afford the Pony cars as we knew them...rear drive....v-8 etc

The 05 Mustang if done properly could reignite AMERICAS LOVE OF the Mustang

My dream is to own a 66 shelby Cobra 427....some day

Street Muscle....70 chevelle or 1969 GTO judge or a baldwin or Yenko Camaro

Oh and by the way nice Nic

I am an 8 year vet

I prefer escalade, pearl white

Great meeting you too!!
We will have to do the strip bars together in Vegas!!!

Get in some trouble together!

BP4L

My wife wants of those.
They look sweet. But just don't have that street apeal that the other two have.

My wife has a VR6 VW and its a sweet lil firecracker.
Great cars VW's are. That Toureg is sweet looking!!

But I think its more of a car either my wife would be seen in or my trendy happy mom.

Go for the Caddy.. ;)

But I think there is another model with a different grid on the front (finer) ..

Am I right ?

Nice.
those 2004 new body styles are sweet!!!

Not really in the market for that though. I kinda lost some cash in the sports market this month.

Looking for a 2000 or even 2002 maybe. Old body style.

Why do all you old guys always talk about these muscle car things ?

:winkwink:

Well this is the problem at least here with the Escalades. They are a teenage bollywood ride. The white man is forced to drive the BMW.

Just remember that Ford/Lincoln has been making the SUV for longer than most of us have been alive...and they know what they are doing. I am on my 3rd Navigator and I love it. I, personally, like the lines of the Escalade but for a quality built vehicle you can't go wrong with the Navigator.

....and for all of the people who like the Escalade because it is what the rappers talk about then just wait for a few more months when the "P. Diddy Exclusive Navigator" hits the streets. It will be the most pimp ride on the market!!! :BangBang:

Rovers are sweeet.
I almost bought one. My college buddy is the Forman at the only authorized dealer Rover shop. They are sweet.

However im not in the market for new, and the used Rovers sell way too high. Unless that is you are willing to get a Discovery Land Rover which im not.

Chevy stayed with that ridiculous F-Body way to long. Classic example was the piece of shit Iroc. Before the Italians burn me at the cross, Chevy was sleepin at the wheel. It all started in 1985 when the 5.0 started with the 302 roller motor 5 speed with the Holley 650. It was all downhill for chevy for 10 years. Sorry for the thread hi-jack Bone. Jim we'll talk cause I need some feeds and webcam action :thumbsup

That body came out in 02 i think.. Get a factory 02 dont go out and spend 10k on some 24's you can always do that next year.

shit Im 28 :1orglaugh

Again, another my wife would like.
You guys are gunna get me in trouble if she sees this post.

I also looked at this car and its great! But all her yuppie Doctor friends drive these things. I need somethign a bit more hard.

Im a smut peddler.

Bling yo.

Then have some respect and look like your actually someone in the Lincoln Pure Class

Hey bud!!
Havent talked to you or Alex in a while!

Cant wait for Vegas. We need to make up for last time...

Bring that Black guy and we'll party and get in some trouble again in Vegas..

Good times. Miss you East Coast Family playas.

Cant wait for Vegas.

yeah thats what I was thinking.

It can go both ways.

I can hang out with the wife's friends in it, and then dirty ut up with my looser friends (as she calls em) and bling and harden it up a bit.

Goes both ways

No doubt I drive 95 Towncar white with blue cloth rag, tints and 17" vogues. 40k miles unfuckin believable ride. Got it from an old man for 9k last year with 27k miles on it. The looks and animosity I get is sick Im 28 6'6" 230. Lincoln brother I promise you

that's mostly because they are coming from europe. You can find easily decent prices in europe for 2nd hand rovers. American SUVs are expensive here as well due to taxes and you don't see them often around. Wrangler and cherokee are the exceptions.

Old body style is nothing but a fancy Tahoe. I would look to get a new Tahoe for same price as a used Escalade. Or maybe a Denali.

I have access to Ford Motor Credit Lease Returns if you want a used Navigator... I get wholesale prices... i am a dealer. Contact me if you want me to help get you one, just figure you would have to add shipping form south florida to the price tag, but here are some recent wholesale prices from around the country on 2002's 4X4 5.4L ...

Then my suggestion would be to get a used escalade or navigator and take it here.....
