You are viewing my beautiful 2004 Cadillac XLR roadster. If you're looking at this you already know how awesome and rare these cars are. Basically this is a re-bodied Corvette. I am a private collector who enjoys a variety of cars, currently owning 8 exotics and classic Corvette's. I've been selling a few off here and there (had 15 just two months ago) and now it's time for my XLR to find a new home. My wife and I have decided to thin down my collection and focus on other things in life, mainly becoming foster parents. This was a one owner car that I bought earlier this year, and has been my primary daily driver since I bought it. I am only selling it because I have a new BMW 6 series convertible and don't really need both (the BMW has a back seat and is more "practical" for my kids, and for the other reason just mentioned). The car is a stunning looker, like a stealth fighter, and has the power to back up its sinister looks. Everywhere I go people point and stare. I get compliments all the time. The car has ALWAYS been garaged and it shows. The original paint is close to perfect. The car was just washed before these pics were taken and I just noticed
there are a few water drops present on the top of the back bumper as can
be seen in a few of the pics (these are not flaws). Of course with the mileage there are a few minor stone chips and a little scuff on the front bumper, but that's about it (can be repainted for about $300, but I chose to leave it factory original). The rest of car is stunning. The paint condition is gorgeous, and the dark charcoal grey is a rarer color you don't see very often. It's truly beautiful. The car has never been in any kind of accident and all paintwork is factory original. The tires are in great shape (see pic of tread). The brakes are great. The car drives and handles fantastic. The power folding hard top is a pure engineering work of art, and I love watching it fold in it's origami like fashion every time I operate it. The interior of the car is very clean and quite nice. The car has never been smoked in. The drivers seat bottom has some light cracking in the perforated center panel (see in pics) that can easily and inexpensively be replaced if so desired for about $200. That would make the interior look almost new. It isn't horrible and it never bothered me enough to fix. The car has every option imaginable, and one of the coolest featured is the Adaptive Cruise Control, which uses radar to keep a set distance between you and cars in front of you. It will slow the car down on its own if someone gets in front of you and once cleared, will take you back up to your original set speed...it will even bring the car to a complete stop if necessary! Truly a great and handy option! Another nice option is the Heads Up Display, reflecting your speed, cruise control info, stereo info, etc all on the windshield in front of you so you don't have to look down. I love it! Another handy item is the Back Up Warning Indicators, letting you know if you're too close to something behind you as you put the car in reverse. The BOSE stereo with in-dash multi-disc CD changer in this car is absolutely one of the best I've ever heard! With the top up or down, it is crystal clear. Factory Navigation works perfectly, and as seen in one of the pics, ALL manuals from Cadillac come with the car on how to operate the various systems, as well as both remotes & valet key. The car has the keyless start feature where you simply need to have the key in your pocket to unlock the doors by touching the concealed button in the door handle, and a keyless push-button start as well. Pretty cool. Everything on the car works as it should. The dual zone A/C is ice cold! The car has highway mileage as it was executive owned and traveled a good distance daily for his corporate affairs. Don't let the miles fool you. It has always been dealer maintained with a "money is no object" mentality. You would think the car has a 1/4 of the miles by the way it runs and drives. In the past few months I have replaced the throttle pedal assembly, throttle body and wiring harness, cam position sensor and had routine maintenance done on it at the dealership. She is good to go. I recently had a full synthetic oil change as well. The car is a blast to drive and own, and I will truly miss it! The airbag light is on, due to a wire being crimped under the drivers seat. Cadillac dealer told me this is an easy fix and should be about $300 to fix. Other than that all systems are good to go. So, to wrap things up this is a quality, super rare car that will give you years and many miles of enjoyment. It's stunning to look at, fun to drive, and you'll never pull up beside another one at the red light. The car has always been dealer maintained. Again, I am a private collector so all sales are final, and no warranties are expressed or implied. Feel free to ask any questions through the eBay system. This is a no reserve auction, so the last bid wins this car! Bid high and bid often! The car is advertised locally so the auction may end at any time. Feel free to make me an offer. Clean and clear title in my possession.
*** PLEASE do not bid if you do not intend on completing the transaction. I had 3 bad experiences in the past month on here where people bid, won, and then I never heard from them again or after waiting for payment for over a week they all of the sudden were "too busy to come" or "out of the country on business". Please! By then, I lost the other high bidders because they found something else and I was back to square one. So because of this, I now require a $500 non refundable deposit to be paid immediately following the end of the auction. You will be sent an invoice through Paypal. I also REQUIRE full payment within 3, YES 3, business days after the auction ends, preferably bank wire. This means you will need to have the funds available, not try to get a loan after winning. So, to be clear... the auction ends on a Saturday. You MUST pay me for the car in full NO LATER than the following Wednesday. PERIOD. The car doesn't need to be picked up or shipped by then, just paid for. Absolutely NO exceptions. You are responsible for shipping or picking it up. If you cannot or do not agree with my terms, or even THINK this won't work for you...do us both a favor and DO NOT BID. Have your funds clear and available PRIOR to bidding. Make sure your wife, mother, boss, priest, etc gives you the okay to buy this BEFORE you bid. If you have less than 10 feedback, you MUST contact me PRIOR to bidding or your bid will be cancelled. I'm sorry for my attitude but I'm tired of the set-backs, and having to re-list and pay fees over and over for nothing. The winner of this car will love it, and I thank you for your time. |

Jeff Gordon will come out of retirement to race new Cadillac endurance racecar
Thu, Dec 1 2016Jeff Gordon is not a man who takes well to retirement, apparently. That's not a surprise at all, given that we've been talking about his return to racing since almost the minute he retired in the first place. This year, he's taken the wheel for Dale Earnhardt, Jr., who is recovering from a concussion, several times already. So we shouldn't be too surprised to find out he's officially coming out of retirement – the twist is that it won't be in a stock car. Gordon has signed onto Wayne Taylor Racing, Motorsport.com reports, and he'll join Ricky and Jordan Taylor as well as Max Angelelli. Their ride will be the newly-revealed Cadillac DPi-V.R racer, a Dallara-chassis car powered by a 6.2-liter pushrod V8 loosely related, Cadillac claims, to the engine in the current CTS-V. You can read all about the DPi-V.R right over here. Remember, Gordon has a total of 93 NASCAR wins to his name, as well as four titles. He knows his way around Daytona pretty well, too, having won the 500 three times. He's also dabbled in endurance racing once before, in the 2007 24 Hours of Daytona with Taylor, Angelelli and Jan Magnussen in a WTR Riley-Pontiac car. They ended up on the podium, so you can say Gordon's inaugural and only outing in endurance racing so far was a success. It's been a decade, so we'll see if he's rusty, although knowing about how competitive champions are, we think he'll blow out the cobwebs and get right down to work. You can read Gordon's statement over at his personal site. Related Video:
GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.
Thu, Jul 14 2022All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.
GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect
Sat, Sep 29 2018BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.
