You are bidding on a 2004 Cadillac XLR Star Black Edition. This is #35 of 200 made. CEO owned and driven 75 miles daily to and from the office as a trophy car. Clear title in hand, although the carfax may say there is a lien it is satisfied for this sale.

This car was originally developed as the EVOQ while under development by General Motors and became the first generation XLR. Manufactured on the Corvette assembly line, based on a Corvette Frame, with 50th Anniversary Corvette Magnetic Suspension, 5 speed manual shift Corvette Automatic Transmission and a more powerful than normal Northstar VVT 32 Valve Engine, this is the pinnacle American car in my opinion. This car rivals the technology available in most new cars today, and uses the same technology and supplier as the Mercedes SL500 & SL600 to achieve the hard top with such light weight and reliability.

If you are a shy person, do not purchase this car, because people ask about it every day you drive it.

The A/C is ice cold, heated and cooled seats make it much more comfortable with the top down.

This car has extensive dealer service records, nearly every component that was known to cause problems in this series of cars has been replaced by GM under warrantee. Vehicle has been more than regularly serviced always using synthetic oils and top quality parts.

In early 2013 a new pair of driver & passenger seats and center console shifter were installed so the interior looks very fresh. (At a cost of nearly $8000) Also later in 2013, at 110,000 miles the transmission and torque converter was overhauled. Then at 122,000 miles, the entire engine was reworked, including the new and improved valve guides added to the rebuilt, ported and polished head as well as new electronic variable valve timing controllers, at a cost of over $5000.

As you can see from the photos, this is car number 3 in my stable of 13. I love and care for this car just as I do my Bentley #1, Jaguar #4, Lotus #5, Shelby #6, Ferrari #2 and other toys. Mileage is at 140,000 but I will keep driving it a few days a week until it sells, because I do love this car!

Factory standard features include:

Keyless Entry with two fobs included in the sale!

Adaptive cruise control.

Adaptive rain sensors.

Heads up display with radio, MPH, trailing distance when adaptive cruise is on and many other heads up features.

Steering wheel controls for Stereo, Cruise Control Gap & Voice Command.

Verbal command unit in steering wheel which includes navigation controls.

6 Disc CD Changer in dash with single disc DVD / CD / NAV player.

In dash navigation, including DVD viewing override, so you can watch movies while driving the car (great for passengers to enjoy, not so good for the driver to do).

Dual Zone Climate Control with Cooled and Heated seats for driver and passenger.

42 position electronic adjustable seats for driver and passenger.

TPMS sensors.

Onstar safety system.

Factory upgraded features include:

Bulgari Speedometer and Tachometer Gauges!

REAL WOOD VENEER INTERIOR TRIM, NOT THE PLASTIC USED IN LATER MODELS!

The tail lights and front grille are blacked out, with gun metal colored badges not available through Cadillac any longer.

She is riding on a fresh set of rear tires, and the set of rims are XLR-V factory that have no wear as they are new.

All functions perform as they should.

Non Factory Upgraded Features include:

All LED bright white lighting, including interior, trunk, license plate and doors.

D3 Racing Catalytic Converters installed

D3 Racing ECU Installed

(Google "D3 Cadillac" to see what I am talking about here.)

These D3 upgrades make the car a bit more muscular and responsive, but it is less "tame" at idle and sounds quite a bit more throaty than a standard XLR.

The bad news:
Under the hood, one of the hood mounts is missing so the hood will not stay up on it's own.
The car has several nicks and dings that you would expect given age & mileage.
There is a scratch on the tourneau cover that is about 1 inch in a triangular pattern.
Next to the driver seat there is a crack in the lateral entry panel trim cover. This is a cheap plastic part from GM that has broken several times over the years so I am tired of replacing it. If you are a big guy or gal, you will break this piece entering and leaving the car, if you are thin, you can replace it and it will stay fixed...
Paint is a 9 at 20 feet, a 8 at 10 feet and a 7 close up.
Photos of all major blemishes and scratches have been provided herein.

Thank you for viewing this auction and good luck with your bidding!

Cadillac highlights craftsmanship in latest Escalade teaser videos

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Cadillac, in case you haven't heard, is unveiling the new Escalade on October 7, completing the redesign of General Motors' large SUV range. The event is proceeding with the regular degree of "teasers" and "leaked images" that is typical of the automotive world, nowadays.
As the new Escalade's reveal date grows closer, Cadillac is trumping up interest for the new SUV, debuting five short teaser videos on its YouTube channel. While not showing much about the Escalade itself, the spots reveal plenty about its materials. Real wood and hand-stitched leather are highlighted, while we get another glimpse of the Escalade's vertically oriented headlights. Take a look below for all five spots.

2015 Cadillac Escalade on sale in April priced at $71,695*

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

With the fourth-generation Cadillac Escalade set to go on sale in April, Cadillac has released the pricing data for its fullsize luxury SUV. While there's no retail configurator yet, the data posted on AOL Autos - and confirmed by Cadillac - shows that the 2015 Escalade will have a starting price of $71,695 (*not including $995 for destination).
This new starting price is about $8,000 more than the outgoing model, but Cadillac is quick to point out that the latest 'Slade is packed with more standard equipment in the new base Standard trim that actually puts it more on par with the midlevel Premium trim on the 2014 model (currently priced at $73,245). These new standard features include Magnetic Ride Control, LED headlights and taillights and 20-inch wheels.
Stepping up to the 2015 Escalade Luxury, the price increases to $75,695 and includes added equipment like 22-inch wheels, head-up display, power fold-and-tumble second-row seats and safety systems such as forward collision warning and lane departure warning. The top-rung 2015 Escalade Premium will start at $80,195 adding features such as a rear-seat entertainment system, illuminated exterior door handles and the Driver Assist Package consisting of front and rear automatic braking and adaptive cruise control.
