Definitely get the van.

While I would prefer a Yukon, this ESV seems to be a good deal and drives exactly like a Yukon XL Denali I've had the pleasure of driving in the past. The price is right, and it has the tow hitch and DVD players...
The owner replaced the transmission in '13 and fixed the front end issues.

Srsly, they are known to have issues at that mileage?
My mom has driven Yukons for years, her current one has 200k miles and still goes strong.

>>15900802
actually it's more reliable than you think and the trans is replaced... I think its a good deal, go for it

>>15900802
Honestly if the trans has already been replaced I'd do it for that cheap. The 6.0L will easily do 300k and is much stronger than the Triton in the much less aero box van. Fuel economy would be terrible in that Ford.

Why the fuck are you buying a vehicle to move? Rent a box truck to move and get a friend or family to drive your current car if you have one.

go for it

i've always liked escalades, atleast ones that didnt recieve basketball american treatment.

>a decrepit GM and a fucking box van

Why don't you just rent a truck to move and buy something less idiotic?

>>15900778
If it's just for a move buy the van, but if it's for road trips taken the Escalade. Escalades are fucking top tier comfy for road trips. I've got one with 220k miles and it's fine. As long as there was regular maintenance you're good.

Well, it would cost about $2000 to rent a penske and drive it for a move (a little less maybe).
Buying seems like the logical way to go.

It has some history
Accident reported
Transaxle replaced
Transmission replaced
Drivability/performance checked
Four wheel alignment performed
Inner tie rod(s) replaced
Right tie rod end replaced
Wheels checked
few years later:
Damage reported after
accident or other incident
Collision damage reported
Damage to right rear

but it seems good now.
does this destroy the value?
carfax still says its worth $9.5k

>>15905322
moving expenses are tax deductible. rent a truck for 2k. why the fuck would you pay 5-6k then have no use for it after you move?

>>15905346
Can still sell it
Another idea is starting a transport business with a van (moving items)

Buy a fucking pickup truck you gigantic faggot

Go for the Cadillac, OP. Once you're there, you can still keep using the Escalade for day to day things, unlike the big ass box van. The LQ4 is indestructible. Transmissions are a weak point, but if that's been recently replaced then you should be good. If everything fits in the Escalade, I'd choose that over the box van.
