You are viewing my beautiful 2004 Cadillac XLR roadster. If you're looking at this you already know how awesome and rare these cars are. Basically this is a re-bodied Corvette. I am a private collector who enjoys a variety of cars, currently owning 8 exotics and classic Corvette's.  I've been selling a few off here and there (had 15 just two months ago) and now it's time for my XLR to find a new home. My wife and I have decided to thin down my collection and focus on other things in life, mainly becoming foster parents.  This was a one owner car that I bought earlier this year, and has been my primary daily driver since I bought it. I am only selling it because I have a new BMW 6 series convertible and don't really need both (the BMW has a back seat and is more "practical" for my kids, and for the other reason just mentioned).  The car is a stunning looker, like a stealth fighter, and has the power to back up its sinister looks. Everywhere I go people point and stare. I get compliments all the time. The car has ALWAYS been garaged and it shows. The original paint is close to perfect. The car was just washed before these pics were taken and I just noticed there are a few water drops present on the top of the back bumper as can be seen in a few of the pics (these are not flaws). Of course with the mileage there are a few minor stone chips and a little scuff on the front bumper, but that's about it (can be repainted for about $300, but I chose to leave it factory original).  The rest of car is stunning. The paint condition is gorgeous, and the dark charcoal grey is a rarer color you don't see very often.  It's truly beautiful. The car has never been in any kind of accident and all paintwork is factory original. The tires are in great shape (see pic of tread). The brakes are great.  The car drives and handles fantastic. The power folding hard top is a pure engineering work of art, and I love watching it fold in it's origami like fashion every time I operate it. The interior of the car is very clean and quite nice. The car has never been smoked in. The drivers seat bottom has some light cracking in the perforated center panel (see in pics) that can easily and inexpensively be replaced if so desired for about $200. That would make the interior look almost new. It isn't horrible and it never bothered me enough to fix.  The car has every option imaginable, and one of the coolest featured is the Adaptive Cruise Control, which uses radar to keep a set distance between you and cars in front of you. It will slow the car down on its own if someone gets in front of you and once cleared, will take you back up to your original set speed...it will even bring the car to a complete stop if necessary! Truly a great and handy option!  Another nice option is the Heads Up Display, reflecting your speed, cruise control info, stereo info, etc all on the windshield in front of you so you don't have to look down.  I love it!  Another handy item is the Back Up Warning Indicators, letting you know if you're too close to something behind you as you put the car in reverse.  The BOSE stereo with in-dash multi-disc CD changer in this car is absolutely one of the best I've ever heard!  With the top up or down, it is crystal clear.  Factory Navigation works perfectly, and as seen in one of the pics, ALL manuals from Cadillac come with the car on how to operate the various systems, as well as both remotes & valet key. The car has the keyless start feature where you simply need to have the key in your pocket to unlock the doors by touching the concealed button in the door handle, and a keyless push-button start as well.  Pretty cool.  Everything on the car works as it should.  The dual zone A/C is ice cold! The car has highway mileage as it was executive owned and traveled a good distance daily for his corporate affairs.  Don't let the miles fool you. It has always been dealer maintained with a "money is no object" mentality. You would think the car has a 1/4 of the miles by the way it runs and drives. In the past few months I have replaced the throttle pedal assembly, throttle body and wiring harness, cam position sensor and had routine maintenance done on it at the dealership. She is good to go. I recently had a full synthetic oil change as well.  The car is a blast to drive and own, and I will truly miss it! The airbag light is on, due to a wire being crimped under the drivers seat. Cadillac dealer told me this is an easy fix and should be about $300 to fix. Other than that all systems are good to go. So, to wrap things up this is a quality, super rare car that will give you years and many miles of enjoyment. It's stunning to look at, fun to drive, and you'll never pull up beside another one at the red light. The car has always been dealer maintained.  Again, I am a private collector so all sales are final, and no warranties are expressed or implied. Feel free to ask any questions through the eBay system. This is a no reserve auction, so the last bid wins this car! Bid high and bid often!  The car is advertised locally so the auction may end at any time. Feel free to make me an offer. Clean and clear title in my possession.

*** PLEASE do not bid if you do not intend on completing the transaction. I had 3 bad experiences in the past month on here where people bid, won, and then I never heard from them again or after waiting for payment for over a week they all of the sudden were "too busy to come" or "out of the country on business". Please! By then, I lost the other high bidders because they found something else and I was back to square one.  So because of this, I now require a $500 non refundable deposit to be paid immediately following the end of the auction. You will be sent an invoice through Paypal. I also REQUIRE full payment within 3, YES 3, business days after the auction ends, preferably bank wire.  This means you will need to have the funds available, not try to get a loan after winning.  So, to be clear... the auction ends on a Saturday. You MUST pay me for the car in full NO LATER than the following Wednesday. PERIOD. The car doesn't need to be picked up or shipped by then, just paid for.  Absolutely NO exceptions. You are responsible for shipping or picking it up. If you cannot or do not agree with my terms, or even THINK this won't work for you...do us both a favor and DO NOT BID.  Have your funds clear and available PRIOR to bidding. Make sure your wife, mother, boss, priest, etc gives you the okay to buy this BEFORE you bid.  If you have less than 10 feedback, you MUST contact me PRIOR to bidding or your bid will be cancelled. I'm sorry for my attitude but I'm tired of the set-backs, and having to re-list and pay fees over and over for nothing. The winner of this car will love it, and I thank you for your time.

Cadillac planning its own engines, halo cars

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Cadillac is in the midst of some big changes. It's got a new chief executive. It's taking some distance from parent company General Motors and moving to a new headquarters in New York. And it's instituting a new naming scheme that will allow not only for a more clear progression in its lineup, but also for more models. But that's not the end of the story. Not by a long shot.
Speaking with Automobile magazine, Cadillac's new president Johan de Nysschen revealed his intention to develop several new models and powertrains. For starters, he does not want Cadillac to continue borrowing engines from the GM parts bin, but intends to develop a new range of engines specifically for the luxury automaker. The program will likely start with smaller-capacity engines but eventually lead to new V8s as well, taking the place of the long-serving Northstar engine that finally ended its lifespan a few years ago after some two decades of production. Along with other technologies, de Nysschen envisions possibly sharing these powertrains with other GM divisions, but developing them first and foremost for Cadillac.
The bigger question, however, is where those engines would go, and de Nysschen had some thoughts to share on that front as well. For starters, the former Infiniti and Audi exec sees room for an even bigger sedan above the upcoming new CT6 that will cap the current range. Maybe even two of them. But that's not all. Johan wants to see Cadillac get (back) into the sports car game with a new halo model or two - something it hasn't really done since the Corvette-based XLR roadster. A pair of new crossovers are also said to be in the works, flanking the SRX on both sides with smaller and larger models.

Cadillac to move select offices from Detroit to Manhattan?

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

Under Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti moved its headquarters from Yokohama, Japan, to Hong Kong. Now at Cadillac, it appears the company's new president could be planning a relocation of at least some of the brand's operations from Detroit to Manhattan, according to a new report from Reuters.
In the case of Infiniti, de Nysschen pushed for the move because moving away from the brand's Nissan overlords would allow it a bit more freedom. It's evidently a similar case for Cadillac, with Reuters speculating that such a move would help distance the brand from the corporate culture in Detroit. A Big Apple move could also attract new talent that may have considered a job with the brand but were put off by the idea of living in Detroit.
It's important to note that if such a move takes place, it likely won't affect the folks actually responsible for developing the brand's vehicles. Instead, administrative functions, including marketing, could be the focus of the relocation.

Cadillac shows dealers convertible rendering

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Cadillac is getting serious about revitalizing and expanding its lineup, and to that end, a new report claims that brand boss Johan de Nysschen has been showing plans for several new models to the marque's dealer body - among them, a new convertible.
The droptop which Cadillac reportedly showed its dealers in sketch form, would be based on the same platform as the ATS and CTS, those it's unclear to which (if either) of those model lines the new convertible would be added, or whether the design features a canvas or folding hardtop roof. One way or another, it would be the first time Cadillac would offer a convertible since the Corvette-based XLR roadster was discontinued more than five years ago.
Quoting an unnamed brand spokesperson, Cadillac would "like to introduce an open car to the portfolio at some point," however, "it's not likely to be one of the near-term portfolio additions."
