1500 OBO less than 1000 miles on tires and wheels 20*9 all around with a perfect offset for XLR, fills the fender perfect and rides beautifully, no rubbing, squeals or any problem, wheels are Dvinci DV50, tires are NITTO NT555 with 255's on all four corners.

Buyer pays actual shipping costs, I am in VA (20152) and wheels are prices for a quick sale .

Pm me for offers or email me at [email protected]

Thank you for looking

thank you for asking....

I got fed up with my caddy after a horrible experience with Moore cadillac and now I have a buy back pending with cadillac over my XLR...and I decided that I would never purchase another cadillac in my life again

the car was a disater after another, the craftsmanship is worst than a civic and finally the service is better at KIA...so I went and bought myself a 2005 MercedesE55 AMG Brabus K4....

and wheels are off the car because no matter what happens car will be gone in the next month or so!

But this is a great deal since like you said I almost have never driven it since I got my wheels...

Hi xlr23,
hope you`ll have more luck with your e55! Here in Germany the e class was leader in its segment but for very many problems with this latest model it fells behind bmw 5 series and audi a6 (here in germany)
BTW the new overworked E class hits showrooms next saturday.

thanks harry...the E55 is about 10 times the car my XLR ecer was and it ll smoke the balls off of a XLR-V... but I will miss the convertible top...an SL55 in the near future might make its way in my garage

It is Bob, only hp rating here in Germany is 476, same as the STS V got.

Hope xlr23 says that after 6 months than I will agree he`s got a good car. But still, I think the XLR V is faster than the E55 or at least similar.

Road&Track test numbers for the XLR V 0-60 4.3sec - E55 AMG 0-60 4.4sec

Well, forget about this, tomorrow I´ll get my first ride in your V and at this time I´ll be high in the air on my way to LAX.:thumbs

with 515 lbs od torque stock...your XLRV is about 30 cars behind...watch this video of a stock E55 against a modena 360 ferrari and do you really belive that any cadillac measure up to a 360 modena ...I dont think so:)

Plus this one is slow (only did 112) as we trap 116 with ease day in and out at the 1/4 mile

OK I think I see Red

OK, enough is enough. I've listened and went over all the information that you have, magazines have, and I have.
You've bashed the V until it's flat, Now here this, I killed a SL55 AMG who tried to sneak up on me. When it was over he was a gentleman and gave me a big thumbs up. You have a big surprise in for you if you ever take me on,
We pride our vehicles on this site and bashing isn't a nice thing to do, especially when you don't have a clue as to what your talking about. I Will kill you on the line, because I know how to drive this gorilla.
Performance mode, 1st gear, shift at 5200, throw it into the automatic mode and let it do it's thing. 4.1 on a stop watch by a guy that owns a C06 Vette and didn't want to admit it. I'd love to test it in Albuquerque with some witnesses, but the elevation would kill the numbers. I apologize for my brashness, but you did leave me no choice.
Bob......................................... It's Party time:party

on another note to answer to motortrend you speak of....


2006 M5 Vs 2005 E55 test article

0-60 for E55 4.2 sec
1/4 mile at [email protected]

Without mentioning if it hasnt already been that 469HP and 515lbs of torque is about 100 more than the XLR-V

if there are any V in VA or MD, we are going to the drag strip with the corvette club of america and the NVMC(mustangs) first week of july....I ll pay for your entry fee as long as you run me at least 3 times...

No one said anything about bashing...this is fact...and I am willing to pay and have someone put it on tape to prove it...cant call me a basher either cause I am offering a match and paying for it... like you said its party time

By the way the fastest built V is the STS-v which got smoked like crazy when Road and track compared it to the E55 and srt8 300C...

So how is your car faster than the STS-V :yawn

I also still own an XLR and a 997 911 C4s, an E55, a 500HP Evo 8...all would crush you...you might be even with my 911 till about 110...then bye bye...:eek

BUT none the less the XLR was the most amazingly designed vehicle ever, that why i bought one but as many agree on this site the craftsmanship isnt there, nor is the service and it is mechanically unreliable in most cases...(Top problems, radio, etc...):cheers

I really wish I knew where you're getting your information, and I understand you have all these toys or have had them, but I can crush a STS-V and have. Who has the most hp? The STS-V, and is totally lost after 8 seconds. It's a dog off the line because it's so heavy, no wonder it got smoked.
You idea of bashing and mine are really eons apart. read your posts, that's bashing. Your quote, "I also still own an XLR and a 997 911 C4s, an E55, a 500HP Evo 8...all would crush you..." This is not bashing? Excuse me, your XLR will cursh my V. BTW the 320 hp Northstar is known for being one of the most realiable engines out there, that's why you will find them in Baja and all the dune buggies.
If I lived back there and you know I don't, which is why you offered to pay, I would be there with bells on, so you're just going to have to wonder what I really have that's so special.
Signing off for the week, going to the BIg A with Hans

I would be stupid to think that my xlr is faster than your V, that we are on the same page on...my thing is this just because this is an XLR forum does not mean they are the fastest thing out there, same goes for the porsche forum I belong to and the benz forum ( We know the new ZO6 is faster than the E55 by a lot, so its silly for me to tell the ZO6 owners that I would give them a run for it )....but check out this post i made after we spoke, on the benz forum, they have had people post their times on drag slips. com for both cars....XLR-V is fast but not fast enough...in this case...does not mean it isnt extremely fast but its not faster
I have included a copy to the link so you see for yourself and for the record I am not bashing its all in good fun....I honestly have no intention to make the XLR look bad....not the intention at all...I liked it at some point and then it wasnt for me....but also do not think that the SL 55 is near the speed of the E55, its a lot slower



http://forums.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=151139

Check out the link to the slips for both cars...real drivers and decent 60 ft times on both :)

O yes you did

Please read your quote of 06-06-06 @ 6:05.
"I also still own an XLR and a 997 911 C4s, an E55, a 500HP Evo 8...all would crush you..." So you didn't say your XLR would crush my V? Maybe this had something to do with the fact it was 06-06-06 @ 6. Not holding a grudge, I'm just a little sensitive when it comes to my baby's.
