The buyout on the Escalade is 34,867; we're trying to negotiate to 32,000 with 0.9 financing from GMAC. It has been weeks with little or no response and the trade in date is tomorrow. He is very happy with the Escalade, it is no doubt a great car, but the service from GMAC (current lease holder) is terrible.

He loved the Escalade so much that he was about to lease a brand new Escalade at a ridiculous deal, I convinced him to hold off so we can figure this all out.

Another drawback he see's with the E70, there are many in our area (base model 3.0's) and he doesn't want to have something that everyone drives. Coming from American manufacturer's, he's having trouble realizing that he'll be actually driving a car that very few people have, a 4.8 with M-Sport package.
