Up for sale is this Fantastic 2008 Cadillac XLR Convertible. This Caddy is has only 49,000 miles and is a great, reliable vehicle. The exterior of this high-line vehicle is finished in Cranberry Red and complimented with the Black leather interior. Unfortunately, this car was involved in a light front impact and its being sold with a Rebuilt title from New York. The air bags did not deploy and the frame rails are straight and untouched. The suspension is also all good and the vehicle steers arrow straight and lot drives perfectly. The motor and transmission are also 100% and suffered no damage at all. It will not take much to get this vehicle in great shape again. The vehicle will need 2 headlights, 2 fenders, a front bumper, a grill, a radiator (this one may be fixable), a drivers side door glass, and an upper radiator support (which cost $80 on ebay). The hood is good and suffered no damage. 
This vehicle has a Rebuilt title, so the vehicle can be driven after is it fixed. This vehicle will NOT have no go through any kind of state inspection or anything like that. It can be titled in your name immediately. I am selling it with an open-title as well. This is a BIG plus!
This Cadillac is in perfect mechanical condition and everything works the way it should, and I mean everything! Every single light bulb lights up and every switch functions properly. Even the tire pressure sensors work the way they should.The only thing that will need attention is the convertible top will need to be reset. The top always worked fine but after the accident, and the vehicle sitting for a few months in my garage, the top has stopped working. I am told that the computer for the top will need to be recalibrated and then it will work. It has always worked perfectly in the past, so I dont see it being a problem to get that done. This is a common thing to do on these cars. Every other feature in the car is working 100%.  
The car has 49k on it, which is very low for a Cadillac, especially one this age. This car was maintained top notch and has always had its maintanence done. The oil changes are up to date and Mobil 1 was always used in this vehicle.
This vehicle spent most of its life in the garage, so it was never subjected to a cold or wet climate. So, you know this car was maintaned the way it should and no expense was spared. This car just had its oil and tranny fluid serviced, has good brakes, good rotors, and wiper blades.
This Caddy is loaded up with all the rare options. It has leather heated seats, power folding convertible top, Heads-up display panel, upgraded BOSE sound system with CD player, Navigation, rear parking sensors, power tilt steering wheel, remote keyless entry, chrome  alloy wheels, real burl wood trimming, memory settings, automatic rain sensing wipers, fog lamps, power seats, power mirrors, power locks, automatic power windows, and all the power accessories that you would expect from a XLR.
The car comes with the original Cadillac key with remote fob. We also have the all the original owners manuals and booklets.
The exterior of the car looks nice and clean, even though the front needs fixing. The paint is in nice overall condition and the car shows well but will need some of the work done in the front, as mentioned. There are no dents or scratches on the vehicle otherwise.
The interior of the car is immaculate. The seats are is fantastic condition and show no wear at all. The wood trims and leather has held up amazingly and it is all intact. The carpets and other panels are all in great shape and all the mechanicals and electricals are 100%. Every single feature in this vehicle is working the way it should. There is no surprises or dissappointments with this vehicle. Its a cool car all the way and will provide someone with a really great value for their money.
This car is being sold as-is, where-is, and there is no warranties expressed or implied. This vehicle has a Rebuilt title from New York. It is YOUR responsibility to find out the laws and regulations for titling this vehicle in your state. If you would like to see the car and test drive it, you are more than welcome to do so. Also, feel free to ask me about the buy-it-now price. If you are located outside my local area, I will assist in any way possible in having the car shipped to you at your cost. A $500 non-refundable deposit must be made within 24 hours on the auctions end. The remaining balance must be paid in full by 3 days after the closing of the auction unless other arrangements are discussed with me in advance. With that being said, feel free to email, call, or text me at anytime if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks and good luck bidding!

Cadillac exec realizes ELR pricing was stupid high

Thu, May 14 2015

At least one Cadillac exec has finally started to come to terms with something we knew all along: the initial $75,000 price for the ELR plug-in hybrid was way too high. The bad decision in part led to the model selling just over 1,000 units last year. Company marketing boss Uwe Ellinghaus recently gave an interview to Bloomberg where he discussed what went wrong. "The MSRP was, indeed, a mouthful," Ellinghaus said to Bloomberg. "We overestimated that customers would realize our competitors were naked at that price." People balked at the ELR's price from the very start, and dealers were receiving $5,000 at one point just for getting customers to test drive the PHEV. Later, some incentives for buyers were as high as $14,000. Cadillac planners saw a conundrum when it came to the ELR's price. Too low of a figure was thought to bring the model close to the Chevrolet Volt, and $75,000 was also believed to signal Caddy's PHEV as something special. "We just wanted to make this a statement for the brand of how progressive we are," Ellinghaus said to Bloomberg. Cadillac is now working to rehabilitate the ELR's reputation with a host of updates for 2016. Buyers get a 25-percent boost in powertrain output, additional standard features, and the whole package comes with a $9,000 drop in price. The tweaks should help the luxurious PHEV make a better second impression. Related Video:

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.

Shatner's Rivet motorcycle to enter limited production with CTS-V engine [w/video]

Sat, Apr 11 2015

William Shatner has entertained the world for decades, from playing Captain Kirk on Star Trek to covering songs like Rocket Man and Common People. Now in his 80s, Billy Shatz has embarked on one of his weirdest projects yet: helping to design the wild Rivet One trike with motorcycle fabrication company American Wrench. Now, you can order one too with power as crazy as the three-wheeler's design. We last saw the Rivet One's aluminum body with the styling like a menacing, art-deco easy chair a few months ago, but now Shatner has started talking about the trike's powerplant, which is based around the heart of a Cadillac CTS-V. "It's a beast with advanced guts. It's powered by an all-aluminum, computer-controlled, supercharged and intercooled V8 engine – producing over 500 HP," Shatner said to Gizmag. Keep an eye out because Shatner intends to captain the Rivet One from Chicago to Los Angeles later this year. Also, if you want a ride like Captain James T. Kirk, the company is taking requests for the trike, made on a build-to-order basis after completing Shatner's job, according to Gizmag. Prices aren't announced yet but expect the number to be as out of this world as a voyage of the Enterprise. The video below provides a further look at the Rivet One's unconventional design.
