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.

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect

Sat, Sep 29 2018

BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

Cadillac XT5 platform to underpin three-row crossover

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Cadillac just launched the XT5 crossover to replace the SRX. But that's only the start. Speaking with Automotive News, Caddy president Johan de Nysschen confirmed that a new three-row crossover is also on the way. The seven-seater is based on a stretched version of the flexible platform underpinning the XT5, which we just drove recently. Taking that approach will give the luxury brand a larger crossover to pit against the likes of the Infiniti QX60, Audi Q7, and Volvo XC90 without having to develop one from scratch. It will also give buyers a more car-like alternative to the larger, truck-based Escalade. "It's one of the benefits of having this very flexible architecture. We can expand it, make it longer and wider. That gives us the ability to develop the car very quickly, as opposed to starting from scratch," de Nysschen told AN. "It's not running yet. It is a program request that we initiated with the engineers only last year. They are working at remarkable, record-breaking speed to get us the car." The new model would likely be called the XT7 and offer similar levels of equipment to the existing, smaller XT5. The existing mid-size model packs a 3.6-liter V6 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and comes in four trim levels. Related Video:

New V6 engines are only the start at Cadillac

Fri, Mar 20 2015

Cadillac debuted its new family of V6 engines Friday, but that's not all General Motors' luxury brand has in store for the coming years. The six-cylinder powerplants will certainly help Cadillac in the near term, but they're just two of the many parts of the company's future strategy. GM has invested $12 billion in Cadillac to help the brand grow over the next five years, and the company will launch eight new products between now and 2020. That all starts with the launch of the CT6 flagship later this year – a fullsize luxury sedan we'll see for the first time in New York on March 31. The CT6 will introduce several new features and technologies to the Cadillac range, and with its launch also begins the slow restructuring of Cadillac's model-naming system. The new nomenclature means CT and XT badges for cars and utilities, respectively. Cadillac says that of the eight new vehicles it plans to launch by 2020, five of them will be first-time offerings in market segments where the brand currently does not play. But it's not just about new products – new powertrains are an important part of the Cadillac story, too. After the new V6 engines – a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter and a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine – launch later this year in the 2016 ATS, CTS and CT6, the company says it has a strategy for V8 power – possibly a twin-turbo application – as well as future electrification. Cadillac also says it's working on adding four- and six-cylinder diesel powertrains, though it's unclear which vehicles will make use of those engines. This new six-cylinder engine family is indeed important, with Cadillac's chief engineer, David Leone, calling it the "most advanced V6 in the industry." With 335 horsepower, the 3.6-liter engine is the highest output, naturally aspirated V6 powerplant Cadillac has done – and that's SAE-certified, and on regular fuel. Beyond that, the 3.0-liter mill (pictured at right) marks the first application of GM's active fuel management system on a twin-turbocharged engine. This means that when full power isn't necessary, the TTV6 can run as a 2.0-liter V4 in order to save fuel. New transmissions are also part of the V6 engine story. GM's all-new eight-speed Hydra-Matic 8L45 gearbox will be paired to the 3.6-liter V6, and the 3.0-liter TTV6 will use the company's existing 8L90 transmission that is already found in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups (with the 6.2-liter engine).
