For those inclined to buy for no reason other than to say
they have something no one else has, this product might be for you. Tom Brady,
superstar quarterback currently playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is
selling his car of many years—a stretched Becker ESV Cadillac Escalade. The SUV
was customized by Becker Auto Design in Oxnard, California.
The vehicle, now on sale for $300,000 (or best offer) boasts
an LCD HD television screen and models itself as a mobile office. The beige
leather interior also features two six-way reclining seats and two large,
aviation-style folding tables with hand-veneered burl finish. The vehicle has
13,000 miles on it and sold retail for $350,000. For any would-be buyer, that
indicates that, in spite of being a memorabilia item, it has decreased in value
in the time that Brady has owned it. It will take a brave (or foolish?) soul to
invest in this one—or perhaps both.
