I’VE SET THE RESERVE LOW (XLR ENTUTIAST WILL HATE ME!) IN AN EFFORT TO GET IT INTO YOUR GARAGE.

You are viewing a fabulous 2004 Cadillac XLR. This car has been well maintained and any problem it has had has been expertly and promptly corrected. It has become one of the favorite “toys.” But, sadly it's time to let her go. Of course, that is only to make room for another toy J. I am not selling because I must, but rather for garage space (where she has always been kept.)

This car is a head turning, point at it and stare, “wish they had one” vehicle, wherever you go. Seldom will you see another on the road…they are just that rare. Cadillac only produced about 16,000 of these cars from 2004 – 2009.

Enough of that for now, if you’re looking, chances are that you know all this already.

Let me tell you more about this car:

EVERYTHING works exactly as it should. The roof goes up and down with ease. The computer is flashed with all the latest information.

I recently (2 months) put in an OPTIMA red top battery, the strongest and best I could find, to help insure electronic reliability. XLR’s can be very finicky if they do not have adequate power. 

The body is in excellent condition. That said, I do remind you that it is a 2004. I will say this, when people ask what year it is and I tell them, the response is "NO WAY!" 

The interior, lights, gauges, controls, navigation, radio all work as they should.

The diver’s side seat is showing signs of wear. The gentleman I bought the car from was a big guy and when he entered the car he would rub against the outer portion of the seat which caused the leather to wear thin. It has recently worn through and a small whole is there. Additionally, my dog loved this car with the top down (as yours will) and her nail has caused a small puncture on the driver’s seat and the passenger seat. NO, I did not let her drive, it happened as a result of her getting out of the car. These things are easily repairable for a couple of hundred dollars. If I were keeping the car I’d get it done.

The carpet is in excellent condition. The driver’s floor mat shows some wear. Replaceable…of course.

The front bumper does have some “road wear” from rocks et., visible and the cover for the headlight washer on the passenger side (in front of headlight on bumper) is missing. A couple of dollars I’m sure if you can find one at a junkyard. GM does not sell that cover by itself. there is a small "indentation" on the driver side bumper. I'm not sure how it got there, my wife hasn't fessed up to it. I’ve tried to depict these flaws in my pictures. If you need some closer shots, just let me know. I’ll send them to you.

The tires have probably 30 –40% life remaining. Again, if I were keeping the car I’d be thinking about changing them come Spring.

Finally, the mileage is approximately 110,00, considered low for the age of the vehicle. Yes, I have truly enjoyed this car and the majority of the mileage is over the road traveling.

I DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE BEFORE AUCTION'S END. VEHICLE IS ALSO BEING ADVERTISED ELSEWHERE. IF YOU”D LIKE TO MAKE ME AN OFFER, PLEASE DO SO AND I WILL ADD A “BUY IT NOW” OPTION IF OFFER IS AGREEABLE.

NO WARRANTY IS IMPLIED OR EXPRESSED.

The car will be completely detailed for your pick-up or delivery. Local pick-ups and/or inspection welcomed. Either of which I will assist as necessary.

GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met

Sat, May 9 2015

After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

Cadillac Elmiraj Concept slinks in Leno's Garage

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Jay Leno's Garage has moved to Pebble Beach for the week. This time around, the affable comedian is taking a look at the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept that debuted during the Monterey car week, and is talking to General Motors vice president of global design, Ed Welburn.
There's plenty of reminiscing about what concept cars were like when these two were kids, before a fairly deep dive into the striking Elmiraj Concept itself. Welburn shares a few anecdotes about the design process behind the two-door concept, including how his designers changed his mind on the grille design.
After bringing up the Cimarron, Leno makes a solid point that the Elmiraj would be a solid production car that could even spawn a four-door variant. We couldn't agree more. Take a look below for the full video from Jay Leno's Garage.
