**2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD 6.0L V8, Two Owners and 25 Service Records**

This InfraRed Escalade has 290,548 miles, full-time all-wheel drive and Cadillacs high-output 6.0-liter Vortec V8. It is an honest, high-mileage example of the SUV that helped define early-2000s luxury: big engine, Shale leather, three-row seating and enough chrome to make subtlety file a restraining order.

The V8 is paired with a heavy-duty four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Factory equipment records show an original MSRP of $54,550, including the power sunroof and Heavy-Duty Trailering Package.

The history is unusually respectable for a 2002 with nearly 300,000 miles. CARFAX reports two Illinois owners, 25 service-history records, no accidents or damage, no total loss, no structural damage, no airbag deployment and no indication of an odometer rollback. It also shows no salvage, rebuilt, flood, fire, hail, lemon or mileage-related title brands and reports no open recalls.

CARFAX identifies the first owner as a personal lease and reports the second personal owner beginning in 2005. The detailed timeline keeps the vehicles later records under that second owner and shows continued Illinois registration activity through September 2026. It also passed its most recent recorded Illinois emissions inspection in August 2026.

The current odometer reads 290,548 miles; CARFAXs last mileage entry was 285,000 miles in April 2025. Documented service over the years includes oil changes, inspections, a throttle-body replacement, output-shaft-seal replacement, air-filter and serpentine-belt replacement, tires and a four-wheel alignment.

Now for the adult portion of the description: this is a 24-year-old luxury SUV with 290,548 miles. It is not a new Escalade hiding behind an aggressive detail job and a flattering camera angle. Age-related cosmetic wear, component aging and future maintenance should be expected. Factory equipment is listed from build records and should be checked in person for current operation.

That said, very few vehicles reach this mileage by spending their lives completely neglected. The long Illinois history, 25 service records, recent emissions pass and absence of reported accidents give buyers considerably more information than the average inexpensive, high-mileage SUV usually brings to the table.
