New guy looking into XLR.

Moment one on this forum. Former Allante (1993 of course) owner. Just cannot get 2 door Cadillac out of the blood. Now researching XLR. V series is a surprise. As with the Allante there seems to be a lot of fiddly stuff with the XLR. Anything I should really look out for when time to purchase, other than the normal used car dealer cat and mouse. Did the XLR come with a warranty?

Thanks

Not sure where this post will land.

Welcome!!

When looking for a used low mileage XLR OR XLR-V, be sure it's a 2006 or later with preferably a GMPP Warranty.

If it is a 2008 or 2009, you need to be sure that the original factory warranty has 2 or more months remaining so you can purchase a GMPP Warranty right away.

The GMPP is the only known extended warranty that covers everything on the car including the top and all of it's hydrolics and electrical components.

Regards

Jerry

Per rules...posting here first...site nice, but lacks some iPad options for photo upload...but will attempt to upload some xlr v photos.

Had this car for about a month...2006=off warranty=do the work myself!

Thankfully, nothing is wrong...but realize fellow XLR owners is my best bet for info relating to any issues...

Greetings. Purchased my '07 XLR back in July. Looked at them for many years before making the commitment. Looks like I am lucky enough to have an XLR guru 30 minutes down the highway from me. Looks like a great place to get tons of useful info.

Hey guys, just signed up, I own a 2006 black XLR and given how complex and expensive this car is, I'm thrilled to have found the online communities!

Hello, my name is Will. I have a 2004 XLR and I live in Dallas, TX. My baby is Thunder Gray with slate interior. I have the 18 inch premium XLR wheels and a wind restrictor windscreen. I have tinted windows, smoked tail lights and 3rd brake light and had all of the emblems painted pewter. It looks real good against the gray. Mechanically, it is all stock and I have all my service done at Sewell Cadillac by Certified Technicians. I really want to add a custom exhaust to improve the sound. What do you recommend, Corsa or Magnaflow? Thanks.

Welcome!!

You certainly have done a lot of personalization on your ride.

I would recommend the Corsa exhaust. There are some deals that can be had on the internet.

Hi All, I’m thinking about buying an XLR. I'd like to find out as much as I can about them, so I can make an informed decision before I purchase. I have a Black SSR and I love the hardtop retractable top. I'm looking to add a Black XLR to my collection in the future.

See Ya!
Randy

Okay, I finally did it! Here are some pics of my new toy! I purchased it from the original owner. 66K miles, Magna Flow Exhaust, V-hood, 18" Chrome wheels, new tires, new grill, new headlights, perfect paint, always garaged, complete service history by Cadillac dealership, runs and drives perfect. I love it!






See Ya!

Once again HELLO!!!

I purchased my XLR two years ago, it's fun to drive, however it is the worst automobile ever. GM should just go out of business, and quit taking customers money for their inferior auto's.

Good evening all. My name is Kristi and I am happy to say I have a 2006 XLR- V8 Supercharge. I've owned it going on 6 years. Doesn't get out of the garage much as it only has 48k miles, but when she does.....my goodness for all that's holy!!

Hello everyone, happy to be aboard. My wife has always wanted an xlr so we pulled the trigger on an 08. We're from montana so we are picking her up next week where we left her in Vegas. i guess we needed an excuse to go back, but also decent weather and roads to get back.

I’m a long-time XLR fan, but couldn’t afford one when they first came out. I ended up finding a brand new 2004 CTS discounted from $33k to $23k in March 2005 - manual transmission from the Chicagoland area where stop and go traffic causes folks to avoid manuals like the plague. Now that I retired early, the 401(k) is flush with funds, and I can use the relatively unknown IRS rule of 55 to access it, so I starting my dream car collection phase of my life. I started shopping around a month ago and hope to pick up an XLR, CTS-V wagon, G8, or Chevy SS within the year. And if all goes well maybe all of them…

I have had my XLR 6 years now and find it necesary to find a mechanic since dealers won’t take on repairing these cars anymore. I am past doing such work now. I would like to be able to keep the car but will need to be able to get help with knowledgable upkeep and repairs. Will consier joining after a trial period.

Dealers are not only extremely expensive, they are only interested in selling a high markup new car and shove you ut the door.
