Cadillac Escalade Extended Warranty

Kirk Steele, President, autoPOM.com, offering Cadillac Escalade Extended Auto Warranty

Commonly called "Cadillac Escalade Extended Warranty", the correct term for this coverage is "Mechanical Breakdown Protection" when sold by an entity other than the manufacturer.

The Escalade is a full size luxury SUV and Cadillac's first entry into the popular SUV market in the 1999 model year. The name Escalade refers to a siege warfare tactic of scaling defense walls or ramparts with the aid of ladders or seige towers. Cadillac apparently hopes to lay seige to and conquer the Lincoln Navigator and Lexus LX's of the world. The Escalade originally was basically a re-badged GMC Yukon Denali. It has developed over the years to have its own personality and following. A very popular car for professional athletes who typically customize them to their own tastes.

As a side note the Escalade is the most stolen vehicle in the United States.

As is the case with other luxury vehicles, the Escalade is appointed with a lot of "bells and whistles" and the late models are powered by advanced technology. Consequently, when mechanical failure occurs, the ever escalating cost of mechanical repair can be very expensive. The relatively small upfront investment in mechanical breakdown protection provides peace of mind while increasing your vehicle's resale value. I encourage you to perform your own research, compare pricing, reputation, coverage and value then decide. Let me know if autoPOM! can be of service to you.
