Cadillac is initially established in Detroit by engineer Henry M. Leland in 1902 and quickly becomes a leader in precision manufacturing. Cadillac becomes part of General Motors in 1909 and stands as the premier luxury brand within GM. Decades of engineering accomplishments and a long history of leadership in luxury vehicles in the United States shape Cadillac brand identity and solidify its reputation for comfort and innovation.

Cadillac is a brand frequently purchased by used car buyers who want a full size luxury vehicle that also fits into daily life. The Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac XT5, Cadillac CT5, and Cadillac CTS are all in high demand as nameplates.

When selling these vehicles, signs of interest in used Cadillac models often come from the vehicle condition, service history, trim level, and the technology included, especially advanced driver assistance systems, that the vehicle includes over the years. Many people searching to purchase an Escalade consider interior room as a main factor in the buying decision, along with towing capability, a high quality cabin, and a practical amount of cargo capacity.

Crossover shoppers are generally more interested in ride comfort and practicality. In addition, more people are likely to buy a Cadillac from a factory authorized dealer than from an independent luxury brand retailer. As a result, clean examples of these models have an opportunity to get a higher price than similarly equipped luxury vehicles.
