Every exceptional car should come with some history; in the case of my wife’s car, it was purchased in AUG.  2008.  The Dealer, Armen Cadillac-Hummer, Plymouth Meeting, PA, mileage then 34,324 on the odometer; MILEAGE now 42,646 rust free, always dry and garage kept. 

It’s been a pampered weekend only vehicle, and has been driven only some 8,000 miles since our purchase; in fact, in the last 2 years it’s been driven less than 3,000 miles since our move in 2011 from the Washington DC area to Louisiana.

When I wrote this AD I noticed CARFAX/CARCHEK posted a Minor Accident and lowered our rating so I pulled the AD to find out what had we missed.  It turns out, a character off in the VIN of another like vehicle caused a mix up.  We contacted the Police Department in which the incident was reported and they quickly resolved the issue and we applaud the Lake Mills, WI PD, specifically the Chief and Records Person for their help and great service.  On the other hand, CARFAX/CARCHEK have their own process (wait in line) and we'll get around to it.  As such, I posted the Lake Mills, WI PD response for your confidence in buying a accident free vehicle. 

All PMs have been timely, no failures or major repairs have been required.  All instruments/components work and the retractable top is fully functional.  The car still has ONSTAR onboard and that may be transferred at the Dealer for a fee.  The car comes with all the standard XLR options such as: ABS, AIR, Leather Seats, CD, HID Projection, Back-Up Curb Sensor, Navigation, Power Seats and dozens of more items, just email me if you have any questions.

Since we restored and own a 1963 and 1965 Corvette we couldn’t help but add some XLR upgrades. Not wanting to change any comfort or safety feature or make some unfamiliar modification, we stuck to Tire Wheels and Brake upgrades.  Most importantly, if she had a flat while riding alone she’d have some piece of mind.

To complement our safety concern (no spare onboard standard) and wanting the XLR-V stance and lower profile, we sized up the tires adding 4 Pirelli (Eufori @8) Run Flat tires, P255/40R-19 rear and P235/45-19 front.   Adding to the braking Performance, we added Drilled Disc Performance Rotors that greatly improved an already great braking system and upgraded to Performance Ceramic brake pads; also, we added new Cadillac Chrome 19 inch wheels, caps and locking lug nuts.  The entire tire, wheel, and brake package has less than 3,000 miles of use and just saved you over $7,500.00.

The car has a couple super small rock nicks almost invisible unless you’re inches from the body, but that’s probably standard at this age; I’ll give it a 9.5 out 10 on the Paint; the pics tell the true story. The interior is exceptionally clean, smoke free, smells like new, looks new and feels new.  The car rides, sounds like new and drives like it and needs nothing and can be driven anywhere.

 Why are we selling? Due to the lack of smooth surfaces in our area and different driving requirements; her taste have turned to the acquisition of a SUV.   So, if you’re interested in this type of a vehicle, this one provides some of the XLR-V perks but not the price and will be a dependable and pristine car to own.   Just turn the key and smile!

 

The car is being sold AS-IS NO WARRANTY implied or offered.  We reserve the right to end the auction early if a sale is completed.  Good luck and happy bidding.

Cadillac sales chief Peffer resigns amidst slow sales

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

Cadillac continues to hemorrhage executives, as it's just seen its fourth high-level departure in the past year. Vice President of Global Strategic Development Don Butler (who defected to Ford) and European President and Managing Director Susan Docherty both left the company of their own volition, while Chase Hawkins, Cadillac's vice president of sales and service, was fired following a "violation of policy" in July of 2013. Strangely, it's Hawkins' replacement, Bill Peffer (shown above), who has handed in his papers this time around.
"Bill left to pursue other interests. Kurt McNeil replaces him, effective immediately," spokesman David Caldwell told Autoblog via email.
McNeil last held the VP of sales and service position back in 2012. He's currently the vice president of US sales for all of General Motors. According to The Detroit News, McNeil will take on the post in what is likely an interim capacity.

GM's Buckle to Drive teen safety feature comes to more models for 2021

Mon, Jul 6 2020

In 2014, GM announced a feature called "Belt Assurance," which would prevent a vehicle from being shifted out of park until the driver and front passenger had buckled their seatbelts. Initially launched on certain fleet vehicles in 2014, the feature rolled out as a free option on the 2015 GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Colorado, Cruze and Silverado. At the time, GM said it would push Belt Assurance to more models if customers took to it. That appears to have happened; come 2019, GM repackaged Belt Assurance as Buckle to Drive, part of the automaker's Teen Driver System that bundled tech such as geofencing and speed limit warnings to help parents keep track of their children's driving habits. In that implementation, the system only works when Teen Driver Mode is activated, locking out the shifter and muting the radio for 20 seconds or until the seatbelts are buckled, whichever comes first. The system shows a visual warning in the gauge cluster, too.  For this model year, the Teen Driver System came standard on 10 Chevy models, but Buckle to Drive was only allotted to the Colorado, Malibu and Traverse. Later this year, the 2021 Camaro will join the Chevys outfitted with the Teen Driver System and will get Buckle to Drive in addition. GM Authority reports that for the 2021 model year, Buckle to Drive will also be picked up by the Cadillac CT4 and CT5. Previously, the Cadillac ATS, CTS, Escalade and XTS came with the Teen Driver System, but three out of those four vehicles are no more, and the 2021 Escalade makes no mention of the Teen Driver System nor Buckle to Drive among its safety features. Elsewhere around the GM empire, the Buick Envision and Encore GX include the Teen Driver System, as do six GMC vehicles, but it's not clear when any will be upgraded with Buckle to Drive. The tech could help save numerous teenagers' lives. On its page of teen crash facts, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention writes that roughly 300,000 teens between the ages of 16 and 19 ended up in emergency rooms to treat crash injuries in 2017. Furthermore, "only 58.8% of high school students always wore seat belts when riding as passengers," and, "Among young drivers aged 15-20 who died in car crashes in 2017, almost half were unrestrained at the time of the crash (when restraint use was known)."

SRX-replacing Cadillac XT5 spied for the very first time

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Cadillac has got big plans in place to revitalize its lineup, with new sedans, coupes and crossovers. And it all starts with this, the replacement for the SRX.
Expected to be called XT5 in line with the brand's new naming scheme, the crossover will be based on a scalable new platform called C1XX - or Chi, for short. In its shorter form, Chi is anticipated to underpin the XT5 as well as a new Chevy crossover and the next-gen GMC Acadia. In long-wheelbase form, the platform is slated to give us a larger Cadillac crossover as well as a new Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse.
Power in the XT5 will be provided by a choice of turbo four or atmospheric six, potentially to be transmitted through GM's new nine-speed automatic.
