New owner questions...

I just traded in an SC430 for an '06 XLR... Wow - what a difference.. The XLR is exceeding my expectations so far... (a former 90 and 91 allante' owner as well)

I have a couple of questions...

#1 - the car had 62 miles on it. I am really picky about my new cars -- especially at this price. The milage wasn't disclosed to me until the VERY end and they already had the money. The dealership manager came in and assured me that GM forces all Cadillac dealerships to have their techs "test-drive" new cars 50 miles before they are sold. Is this really true ?

#2 - The AC Compressor makes the engine run really rough when it is engaged and the compressor itself is quite loud. Maybe I am spoiled from the SC430 and how quiet (and non-fun) lexus made that car.. But I just don't think that Cadillac's flagship car should literraly vibrate the interior when the AC compressor is on.. Is this something that "settles" down as I drive the car more ?

Greetings five337,

Congratulations!!! I would not spend any time regarding the miles, but I agree get your compressor fixed.
