Thats a solid 100 footer.

I guess anybody that would want an escalade in the first place has no taste, so that thing will probably sell pretty well.
wait, pimp my ride goes right sometimes?
Not my cup of tea, but it's just a dub-tastic escalade with a fancy paint job. It's actually restrained compared to some of the things customizers have done.
I'm from the mini truck school of thought. I mine with no shine. I also like less stuff, not more stuff.
I'd rather catch a bad case of weld flash than see THAT

Actually, that isn't. Someone cut the back off of a 2000 model to make that abortion. I love the care they used in fitting the later model front end.
WTF happened to that thing? Did they shorten it? It doesn't even look like an EXT/Avalanche anymore. It's like Betty White naked, nothing is in the right place!
Was that really a PMR job? Or just a regular REALLY bad custom job?
No idea. And its not the style (we welcome all types around here). Its the execution (or needed execution). JB weld? really? That must be a high school shop class deal or player that talked the talk.

The ET wasn't available in that generation. That makes me wat.
What do you mean WHEN Pimp my ride goes wrong. It's been wrong from it's inception.
Say what you will, but the starting bid is only $200.... If I can snag this for under challenge price, I'll be there
I know its (PMR) wrong, but really, this one is like an infinite number of monkeys were tricking out an infinite number of escalades & this came out second.

Did you LOOK at the details of that thing??? It's an absolute mess. Everything is wrong. Tons of bondo, bad paint, sloppy interior stitching/emblems. The description essentially says it's falling apart.
It was either a salvage attempt or someone was dumb enough to ruin a once-premium vehicle. Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.
Just awful. 
Oops, I tried to attach a photo of crappy workmanship but it's obviously not allowed.
Listen, I've done some things to cars I'm not proud of, this whole Pimp-my-Ride lowrider, wigger barcolounger thing is definately not for me; but if these [enthusiasts] insist on throwing good money after bad into our hobby, have at it.
They atleast score some points for using JB Weld and not some cheap imitation.
JB weld on tailgate hinges, custom paint is bubbling badly on drivers side, paint job poor (paint runs, light spots, overspray on door jambs), box is custom and very ripply from extra body work, paint chips on rear tailgate and spoiler, missing trim on tailgate, exhaust tips hanging loose, custom leather interior, custom painted interior, dash has paint runs, dash wobbles/rattles going down road, must pump up air Bags before driving (flip up toggle switch on console then flip up both switches), tonneau cover is custom and gapes badly, body panels do not fit together nicely, steering column is pulled apart, custom door panels loose/parts fall off when closing door, back window is plexiglas, screwed in
It does say "all items sold AS IS WHERE IS with all faults." 
It's a repossession auction site. From their home page "...we can manage voluntary or involuntary repossessed assets for entire estates and businesses to individual items."
I'm guessing this was voluntarily repossessed.

If you get it and enter, I think you can take the most spectacular failure trophy no problem. 
That's just a few miles from me, need more pics?

Part of me says no, the other part of me says yes. I think we'll go with the yes part. Everyone likes a good train wreck now and again.
Drive train is worth a bit, although I would be concerned about "deferred maintenance".
Buy it cheap, put the powertrain into something else and scrap the rest.
