GM Will Repair, Auction Tiger Woods Wrecked Escalade
Posted: Dec. 09, 2009
Are you in the market for a new Cadillac Escalade? How about a repaired one with a famous former owner? Jalopnik reports that General Motors plans to repair and sell Tiger Woods’ recently
totaled Escalade. GM owns the vehicle, which was loaned to Woods as a public relations gesture.
The vehicle gained fame when Woods crashed the car at his Florida home.. Woods’ crashed the car into a fire hydrant, then into a nearby tree, sustaining minor injuries. Wood’s wife, Elin Nordegren, claims that she broke the rear window of the black Escalade with a golf club in order to free her husband from the crashed vehicle. Some speculate, however, that she may have broken the window and injured Woods in a rage prior to the crash.
A Cadillac spokesperson, David Caldwell, told USA Today, "We could retain ownership of it, using it for other internal duties, or we could indeed sell it off. Generally selling a company-owned vehicle means that it would go into an auction. So there are a few options." Caldwell also suggested that if the vehicle is auctioned off, it will be a formal auction rather than a private sale to a specific buyer or group.
